In Content Item: FlagMighty Mouse Comics #9 published January 1951
as [untitled] [Story on Interior Page(s)]
Reprint Notes:  
Miscellaneous
Pages: 10
Disclose Notes: This comic story was a near-exact adaptation of the Mighty Mouse cartoon "A Swiss Miss" (1951). Per Leonard Maltin's book "Of Mice and Magic" (1980), "A Swiss Miss" was released in August, 1951. Given the comic book's cover date of February, 1951, both comic and cartoon might have resulted from the same Terrytoons studio creative process. Information on "A Swiss Miss" supplied by Merlin Haas.
