The Day Mighty Mouse Went Mighty Bad!

Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic, superhero
Character(s): Mighty Mouse; Pearl Pureheart; Oil Can Harry; various citizens of Terrytown; various police of Terrytown
First Line: A blight has hit Terrytown. The people struggle with an unknown source of annoyance.
Synopsis: Oil Can Harry frames Mighty Mouse for a series of pranks and misdeeds against the citizens of Terrytown, proving his "guilt" to the exceedingly fickle crowd (that alternately cheers him or wants him hanged with incredibly rapid shifts of mood) using a poorly fashioned Mighty Mouse inflatable balloon. Can Pearl Pureheart turn (and keep) the tide of public opinion firmly "for" our hero?

Disclose Notes: The Tyer Touch: Oil Can Harry takes great delight in Mighty Mouse's misfortune. CAPTION: "...and Oil Can Harry died laughing." One panel Harry is overcome with laughter, the next he is laid out on the ground holding a flower at his chest! For good measure, Tyer goes to this gag twice.

Pearl Pureheart saves Mighty Mouse from hanging at the last moment, by presenting the Mighty Mouse balloon as proof of his innocence. She addresses the hangman: "Unhand him, you old goat! The Mighty Mouse that you saw was a fake!" ...And, sure enough, the hangman character is "an old (anthropomorphic) goat"!

Disclose Notes: The Tyer Touch: Jim Tyer gives us a band of hapless volunteer firefighters, who turn and run at the first sight of the volcano men. They head for a boat, that they sail to the middle of the lake - AND STOP, remaining becalmed and inactive as the volcano men begin to boil the lake. "What's delaying Mighty Mouse? This water is getting warmer and warmer!"

They despondently await a fate that they could easily have walked (or sailed, or swam) away from while the lake was merely warming ("All is lost! The water is BEGINNING TO BOIL!"), instead wishing for ice cream sodas, and preparing a gigantic, outsized "Last Will and Testament" from within their motionless boat. Tyer's drawings of these characters as gooney and very tightly pressed together (as if they were one) complements the absurdity.

ERROR OR ON-PURPOSE GAG?: Two consecutive panels of the fight between Mighty Mouse and the volcano men offer the captions "A LEFT to a blazing jaw" and "A RIGHT to a fiery solar plexus", but Tyer draws Mighty Mouse hitting the volcano men with the SAME fist (his left). With Tyer, it could be either an error... or a purposeful gag.

Disclose Notes: Statement of Ownership for October 1, 1951. No circulation figures appear as part of this report. Lower half of page.

This entire page, consisting of the Cracker Jack ad above and this specific Statement of Ownership (for "Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse Comics", October 1, 1951), is reprinted in its entirety in Mighty Mouse Album (St. John, 1952 Series) #1 (October 1952) - in the exact configuration and position that the page appears in this issue. Likely just part of the wholesale reprinting of Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse Comics #29 into Mighty Mouse Album #1. https://www.comics.org/issue/1141004/

This could be the only time a Statement of Ownership was reprinted in a subsequent issue of a completely different title.
