Only six issues into the series, and the writers are already recycling plot elements from the previous issue, with scarecrows, traps, sleepwalking, and property seizures coming around again.

Harness Hassle

Thanks to the energy crises of the 1970s, Pooh is advocating for renewable energy sources and tries to build a windmill with his friends. But in a turn, a mishap with the blades of the windmill creates a UFO scare in the Hundred-Acre Wood. But everything's okay when Eeyore becomes the butt of the closing joke.

Richie Rich, the Poor Little Rich Boy in A Real Treat [Advertisment]

Richie Rich's dad showers his wife with expensive gifts on their anniversary, but all Richie can manage is to scramble together some Hostess fruit pies at the last second. HIs parents choke them down with some tea.

Walking the Goldfish

Piglet takes his goldfish, Mr. Goldfinner, for a walk, but he jumps out of his bowl into a nearby stream and Piglet is distraught as he tries to find him. I was bored overall, but actually chuckled out loud at the closing punchline.

The Hundred Acre Wood Less One

A giant has fenced off an acre of the Hundred-Acre Wood to do some logging. Little does he know that Pooh is a giant killer.

Liquid Gold

A wolf overhears Pooh and Eeyore talking about a golden treasure and assumes they mean the ore and not the liquid gold Pooh loves. His attempt to steal the horde goes awry. There is a very disturbing sequence where Eeyore walks around on his hind legs for two pages. So wrong!!!!!!

Something to Crow About

Pooh persuades Tigger that scarecrows are cruel to birds, and the two try to welcome the crows instead. Somehow their hospitality results in physical violence and crow-napping. So, yeah, there are some kinks to work out.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
