The chalkboard equation with actual numbers is incorrect. The square root of 110 multiplied by the square root of 44 is not 84, but approximately 69.57.Henery Hawk is about to climb into a nest full of eggs. Behind Henery is Dawg, ready to put a stop to that. Behind Dawg is Taz, sprinkling salt on Dawg's tail. Behind Taz is Foghorn Leghorn, about to pop a bag with a pin. Foghorn asides, "Sometimes, Ah say, sometimes it's just too easy!"
Foghorn Leghorn says that too many young people are spending time reading comic book, so he'll add something educational to this comic book and teach a lesson in juggling. He doesn't get far as the juggling balls all land on his head. Behind the rooster, Egghead Jr. shows him up by juggling a flaming torch, Henery Hawk, an axe, and a cow(!), while also spinning a plate on a stick held by his chin. Foghorn says the internet is to blame for smart-aleck kids.
The chalkboard equation with actual numbers is incorrect. The square root of 110 multiplied by the square root of 44 is not 84, but approximately 69.57.Elmer Fudd is after Bugs for eating the carrots in his patch. The rabbit welds the barrel of Fudd's gun shut, sending Fudd flying when he pulls the trigger and the gun blows up. Elmer lands near a paintball field, where Bugs suggests his gun was faulty and offers a paintball gun. Fudd doesn't like the idea of using a mere paintball gun, until the rabbit shows how effective it is by covering Elmer in paint.
Fudd charges after Bugs, but Bugs stops him and tells him he needs to be properly dressed for paintball. Elmer winds up wearing a camouflage outfit that seems inflated like a balloon to the point he can't easily move. The camouflage effect is ruined by a sign the rabbit adds. The sign reads "splat me." Elmer ends up covered in paint.
Elmer tries again with a camouflage outfit that fits better, but Bugs points him out with a very obvious sign and Fudd gets covered in green paint. He tries hiding by bushes, but gets covered in brown paint. Bugs suggests he hide by something brown, but the thing turns out to be a bear who doesn't want Elmer's company.
Having had enough, Elmer surrounds Bugs' rabbit hole with paint bombs. As Fudd is about to set off the paint charges, Bugs, dressed as a woman hunter, comes up behind him. It's love at first sight and soon Fudd is sitting down to dinner. When a cover is lifted from a serving dish, a small paint bomb is revealed. Elmer easily disposes of the charge, but Bugs offers a second, much larger, paint bomb which sends Fudd colorfully skyward. The rabbit asides that he has bigger plans for a second date.
The title puns the titles of the 1945 song Ain't Misbehavin' by Andy Razaf, Fats Waller and Harry Brooks. Page 4: Elmer seems quite preoccupied, getting his words a bit mixed up in the first panel. No real paintball camp or field would be run as this one is. At the very minimum, participants would be required to wear goggles to protect their eyes. More likely, full face sheilds would be required. The paintball guns seem not to shoot balls of paint, but streams of paint, as if they were unusual squirt guns. Page 5: The paint bombs have fuses but they are to be set off by a plunger. It really should be one or the other, not both.Rather than another try at juggling, Foghorn is teaching skydiving. The rooster jumps first, then talks about the count to open the parachute. This is a poor choice for anyone, but especially for the longwinded Foghorn who takes too long and claims to have cracked a joke at Egghead jr.'s expense. The result is that while Egghead parachutes gently to the ground, Foghorn doesn't open his parachute and hits the ground before finishing his count.
The arrangement of the door right before the intake of a jet engine is a suicidal design for a parachutist.Porky and Sylvester are at a pyramid with an entrance blocked by rubble. A guide says that the tomb was blocked as it is cursed , but Porky presses on and clears the entrance. Porky checks his pack and finds he has everything he needs except a light. The pig buys an overpriced flashlight from the guide after rejecting cheaper, but cursed, flashlights. Porky and Sylvester enter the pyramid as the guide quickly departs.
As Porky and Sylvester enter the pyramid the flashlight goes out, so the pig lights match and uses it to light a torch on the wall. Sylvester notices a diagram on the wall indicating a trap and pushes the pig out of the way, getting a close shave in the process. Porky, not having noticed the trap, insists there's nothing wrong and presses on. Sylvester keeps noticing diagrams that Porky misses and saves the pig from a snakepit when he works a lever to open a door.
Deeper in the pyramid, Porky finds a large gem held by a statue of Anubis. He reaches for the gem and starts to take it when the cat puts it back in a panic. Removing the gem will cause a mummy to rise and attack the remover, but Porky still doesn't realize the situation. The pig even opens the sarcophagus to reveal a mummy that seems to be peacefully sleeping. Porky takes the gem and leaves. The mummy catches Sylvester but is unraveled by the cat.
Porky makes it back to the entrance of the pyramid, blissfully ignorant of the traps he walks right through. Almost out of the pyramid, Porky sees a shadow of an attacking mummy behind and runs screaming from the pyramid. The shadow, however, is not of the mummy but of Sylvester who is wrapped up in some of the wrappings he unraveled from the mummy.
Page 7: The mummy's unravelled form may be referring to Tutankhamun, the boy king. Sylvester's footpads are not colored in throughout the story.Foghorn has Eggbert teach the next lesson, but has chosen weight lifting which is problem for the small chick who walks off after not being able to lift a weight. As Foghorns tries to reclaim the spotlight, Eggbert returns with a lever and with the mechanical advantage sends the weight flying into Foghorn's head.
The name Eggbert is a bit curious. While the character was only called Junior in the classic cartoons, the long accepted name of the character is Egghead Jr. Calling him Eggbert now seems a bit revisionist. That, however isn't unusual for Looney Tunes characters. Gossamer, for example, is a name of recent invention. The gluteus maximus that Foghorn is concerned about is a large muscle of the rump.Television host Mouthy Bellows starts by listing some nice things about animals, but then adds that animals aren't always nice. As an example he cites Charlie Dog who makes a pest of himself trying to become a pet. Footage shows him giving a ham to a reporter as she is reporting on a circus as a bear act is rehearsing in the background. The reporter runs as the bear comes after the ham.
Another incident shows Charlie batting, and enraging, bees from a beekeeper as he shows off a beard of bees. Charlie shows up again in a lion tamer's act. When the tamer opens the lion's mouth, he finds Charlie inside playing dentist. As Bellows warns viewers of how to avoid Charlie, the dog appears on the monitor behind him suggesting he should be given a home.
Bellows finds that the script, and the cue cards, have been changed so he reads things that would only encourage Charlie. It is, of course, Charlie who changed things. The dog tries to win Bellows over by giving him a ham, but the bear is still after the ham.
The title puns the Fox television show When Animals Attack! Many of Bellows' lines are also punny. Considering the results of Charlie's efforts, the content of this story might not be much different from that of the show. The visual style of the story has all but a few panels in the form of scenes shown on a televison screen. Mouthy Bellows' shirt cuffs are sometime white and sometimes gray in the story. They should be gray, like his the rest of his shirt.Count Bloodcount chases Bugs, repeating that he wants Bugs' blood. Bugs dives into his hole, which the count trips on. Having fallen to the ground, the Count is revealed to be soliciting for the Red Cross. Bugs then rolls up his sleeve of fur to donate blood.
