In "Sitting High," Mickey Mouse takes on Pete in a high-stakes showdown at a gold mine, where the villain’s fate hinges on a year of good behavior to claim his inheritance. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with energetic art by Paul Murry—pencils, inks, and lettering all by Murry, with colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop—this 1961 tale mixes humor and moral stakes as Pete faces his first real test of reform. The cover, by Tony Strobl, captures the moment with classic Disney flair.

In this zany chapter of Mickey's Strange Mission, Mickey Mouse and Goofy race to stop Black Pete from pulling off a gold heist on a little bearded miner, only to discover the thief’s inheritance hinges on a year of good behavior—no small feat for a crook with a peg leg. With the clock ticking and a leap year stretching the deadline to 366 days, Pete’s sudden attempt at honesty is put to the test, all while a skeptical Feisty Fenwick and a line of kids waiting for a school bus watch the chaos unfold.
