In the 1949 Four Color #248, "Fixing Tire With Bubble Gum" delivers a delightfully odd mystery as Mickey Mouse and Goofy investigate a string of bizarre disappearances linked only by one strange detail: all the missing people had been watching television the night they vanished. Written, drawn, and inked by Bill Wright—handling every aspect of the interior art—this whimsical tale blends early TV-era paranoia with classic Disney charm. The cover, also by Wright, captures the surreal tone with a bold, hand-drawn image of Mickey staring in disbelief at a floating TV.

When Minnie vanishes and Mickey discovers dozens of others have disappeared under the same strange circumstances—each last seen near a television— he and Goofy uncover a chilling pattern: a mysterious sorcerer is using TV broadcasts to hypnotize people into coming to his castle. The only clue? A signal hidden in the static, and a villain whose magic is more modern than medieval.
