Mobil Disney Comics #17
In "Firefighter Flop," Donald Duck’s overzealous but wildly unskilled attempts to serve as a volunteer firefighter lead to a series of increasingly absurd demotions—from hose man to squirt man to wet sack man—thanks to his well-meaning but chaotic antics. When the fire station’s own house catches fire, it’s the nephews who step in to save the day, earning their place on the firetruck in a moment of unexpected heroism. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this 1964 classic from Mobil Disney Comics #17 features a delightfully chaotic tale of misfire and redemption, with Barks’ distinctive art and lettering bringing the whole mishap to life on every page.
