Notes: Nice touch: Mighty Mouse suspects a habitually hungry alligator of small animal ingestion. When he questions the gator, it feigns innocence with a “symbolic halo” over his satisfactorily-smiling head. But Mighty Mouse props open the creature’s gaping jaws… and, in reverse order, out come running a rabbit, monkey, jungle bird, deer, and zebra! The zebra, pictured as “first-out”, is largely cut-off by the panel border indicating the possibility of still more animals ahead of it, fleeing the alligator’s innards.
