Drawing No. 180 features Mickey as Uncle Tom reaching for string of firecrackers. Drawing No. 190 features Mickey picking up string of fire crackers. Drawing No. 221 features Mickey sticking an un-lit firecracker into his mouth. Drawing No. 267 features Mickey with lit match, about to light firecracker. Drawing No. 283 features Mickey holding lit match with lit firecracker in mouth. Drawing No. 339 features Mickey covering his ears, eyes squeezed shut as firecracker explodes and large cloud of smoke, coloring Mickey's face black (in this case, green colored pencil was used).
