In "Morty and Ferdie as Railroad Engineers," two bumbling clowns deliver a mysterious steel trunk to Goofy, an inheritance from his late Uncle Clown Goof—only to forget the key. With no way to open it, Mickey and Goofy set off to Clownland, where they discover that the key is in the hands of Clown Blackbeard, the world's most notorious clown, who wears it around his neck. Penciled and inked by Jim Pabian, this 1950 Dell comic features a delightfully absurd adventure, with Paul Murry's vibrant cover capturing the zany spirit of the tale.
