- Issue 3 so the last of the Arty's Know How series, the final story ended with a 2 page comic strip in which Arty goes on a rampage, destroying Wizzville after getting hold of the artist (Harry Rickard)'s pencil. After doing this terrible deed he loses his 2 page craft page, instead getting a 1 page How to Draw, the first of the series begins in this issue with learning how to draw Blong.
- Rob Ber was never meant to feature in Issue 4 but was added in at the last minute, Hannes Smit drawing the story.
- Blong is ghosted this issue by Josh Champion after planned artist Harry couldn't draw it up due to being too busy colouring in other strips.
- Issue 4 features the first and only appearance of The Mud Fighters making this strip the first of the one-off strips.
- Super Pencil was originally meant to feature in Issue 3 but after artist Martin Smit quit, Super Pencil was dropped. However after Martin rejoined the comic, it was decided that Super Pencil would appear in Issue 4.
- This issue introduces the new readers page, Your Stuff. The page is for readers to send in their jokes, letters and drawings.
- In this issue we see the return of Maddie Bout Money and Nora Penny.
- This issue; Frankie is a 2 page story. Frankie will switch between amount of pages depending on the story.
- This issue is once again 32 pages however Issue 5 will be 58 pages due to it being a special.
- Bill the Buyer is a full page this issue.
- The 'Next Time' page will be about Issue 5, The Halloween Special.
- Crazy Cartoons is illustrated by Harry Rickard this issue, this is because there is not an official artist for this comic strip.
- In Issue 3, the comic originally planned to have borders around each of the stories (with Wizzo Workers scattered around them), when the borders didn't work after being printed they were dropped. They then make their first appearance in this issue.
