Walt Disney's Comics- Wheaties Set C #2
In "Mickey Mouse and the Magic Mountain," a storm-driven detour leads Mickey and Goofy to an ancient deed that promises a farm—and a mountain that defies gravity. With Riley Thomson handling both art and inks, the tale unfolds as the duo discovers their new land isn’t just unpredictable, but oddly generous with popcorn, turning a simple farmhand’s dream into a sticky-sweet dilemma. The cover by Paul Murry and Carl Buettner captures the whimsy and wonder of the adventure, all in a free 1951 issue from Western Publishing.

When taking shelter from a thunder and lightning storm, Mickey and Goofy find an ages-old deed to a nearby farm (lettered in “old-time” calligraphy), which says the one-time owner is walking away from the property due to becoming “wearied” by a “magic mountain”. Taking charge of their new windfall, the pair find the farm is situated on land made up of a mountain that seems to rise-up and fall-back-flat at will. To make matters worse, when Mickey and Goofy plant corn on the farmland, the mountain disgorges vast amounts of popcorn. Too much popcorn turns out to be not such a good thing.
