Notes: Pages consist of 1-3 panels each.

This story is reminiscent of a Floyd Gottfredson newspaper strip continuity, with Mickey as a plucky little scrapper, and uses the character of "Professor Dustibones" from the Gottfredson continuity "Land of Long Ago" (1940-1941).

In this story, Professor Dustibones is depicted as a "human", as opposed to his original rendering as a more typical "Disney-dogface" character.

Particularly effective and well-done by artist Pabian is the scene where, armed with only a small flashlight, Mickey tiptoes through the museum's darkened Anthropology Section carefully avoiding the wax statues... until one of them comes to life and tries to behead him.

It should be noted, however, that even wax statues of anthropological exhibit-beings from ancient civilizations wear those "standard-issue Disney white gloves" in hands that otherwise wield clubs and swords.
