Sometimes listed as Vol. 4 #8. The long-running vehicle for Disney character comics featured work by Carl Barks, Floyd Gottfredson, and Pogo's Walt Kelly. In a classic Floyd Gottfredson story from the Mickey Mouse comic strip, Professor Dustibones enlists Mickey for a journey to a land of prehistoric creatures. In a story by Barks, Donald becomes a genius after a blow to the head and creates a new rocket fuel. This story is famous among certain segments of the scientific community for Donald's casual (and coincidental) mention of a rare chemical compound amidst his pseudo-scientific gobbledygook. Plus a one-pager by Kelly that doubles as a victory garden PSA and a contest.
