Two sheets feature three blocked-out panels in red, first sheet w/single image of Mickey fishing in boat. Extensive pencil notes on action. Second blocked out sheet features image of angry Mickey reacting as Pluto chases fish out of boat. This sheet has additional Pluto sketch outside of blocked areas and images of progressively larger fish eating one another. Two other sheets features rough Pluto sketches, one w/Mickey fishing. Another sheet features three blocked areas in pencil w/rough sketches of Mickey fishing. Additional Pluto head sketch. Last sheet features rough sketch of gag showing Mickey and Pluto digging for worms. Sheets show scattered handling wear and are evenly aged. Some corner creases, sheets are Fine overall w/VF art.
