Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse #79
In "Private Pool," Mickey and Goofy hit the dusty trails of the American Southwest, peddling surplus electrical gear with mixed results. When Mickey takes a job as a night watchman at a remote dam, Goofy stumbles upon a surprising way to spark interest in power—turning a quiet pool into something electrifying. Art by Paul Murry and a vibrant cover by Tony Strobl and Steve Steere bring the desert adventure to life in this 1961 Dell classic.

Mickey and Goofy tour the American southwest trying to sell Goofy's load of surplus electrical equipment. When that doesn't pan out, Mickey takes a temporary job as a watchman for a newly constructed dam that will supply electric power to the region. The local Native Americans are used to a life without electricity, but Goofy finds a way to change that and create a demand for his cut-rate cords.
