In "Mickey Mouse and the World Under the Sea," Goofy’s latest invention—a tank capable of flying and diving—leads him and Mickey on a surprise journey to a hidden underwater cavern filled with lush fields and a mysterious city. When the tank is stolen and rendered invisible by the enigmatic Count Drakova, Mickey and Goofy must track down the thief and uncover the strange threat looming over the underwater kingdom.

In "Red and White House," Mickey and Goofy take on a simple painting job—each tasked with doing their side of a house in red and white. But when Mickey paints his side white with red shutters and Goofy does the opposite, the mismatched results lead to a classic case of mistaken colors and comedic confusion.

Trivia · 7 facts

  • Full indicia title: Walt Disney Mickey Mouse in The World Under the Sea, No. 194 — a self-contained one-shot published by Dell in 1948.
  • The Grand Comics Database flags the cover art attribution as uncertain, noting the Goofy figure resembles Carl Buettner's style more than Eisenberg's.
  • Editorial credits listed in the indicia: Eleanor Packer (managing editor), Alice Nielsen Cobb (story editor), Tom McKimson (art director), Carl Buettner (editor).
  • Story features Mickey Mouse and Goofy in an undersea adventure; Goofy invents an amphibious tank capable of going underwater and flying.
  • Supporting characters Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse (Mickey's nephews) appear in at least one short story in the issue.
  • This is approximately the seventh Mickey Mouse issue in Dell's Four Color Series II run — part of the long stretch where Mickey starred in Four Color one-shots before eventually receiving a dedicated ongoing title.
  • The Four Color series, of which this is a part, ran from 1942 to 1962 and is regarded as one of the most prolific anthology comic series in American publishing history.
