In "The Floating House," a 1954 Four Color comic, Charlie and Mortimer find themselves adrift when a sudden flood carries Mortimer’s house out to sea—past sharks and whales, all the way to a mysterious tropical island. There, they’re captured by islanders who, to their shock, reveal the house was the winning entry in a bizarre contest for the most original home. The story, illustrated by Harvey Eisenberg, blends whimsy and adventure with a twist that’s as unexpected as the journey itself.

In "The Floating House," Charlie and Mortimer find themselves adrift when a sudden flood lifts Mortimer’s home and carries it out to sea. After dodging a shark and a whale, the house washes ashore on a tropical island where elephants haul it inland—only to be captured by the island’s inhabitants, whom they fear are cannibals. When the King reveals the house won a contest for most original design, he rewards Mortimer with a bowl of diamonds and sends them home in his private plane.
