Above scan is of a detail from the cover of no. 39 (dated Oct. 31st, 1939) of Britain's Mickey Mouse Weekly featuring the non-Disneyic comics characters Skit, Skat and the Captain created by the British comics artist Basil Reynolds for MMW alongside regular Disneyic characters in an illustration by MMW cover artist Wilfred Haugton. The full image of the cover is below:
Later in 1936, Haughton, who had been drawing the covers of MMW since its inception, also began a series titled 'The De(f)tective Agency!' featuring Goofy and Toby Tortoise as private detectives. Reynolds' characters made a cameo appearance in this series as well, in no. 50 (Jan. 16th, 1937):

nice obervartion. Donald Duck appears as a guest character in Skit, Skat and the Captain as well (MMW 119, MMW 154). I recently noticed that Skit and skat have been reprinted in the US Mickey Mouse Weekly beginning with Vol3 No11 (MMW 6, MMW 8), No 12 (MMW 51, MMW 65). Does this makes them Disney characters? :-)
US Mickey Mouse Weekly has to be US Mickey Mouse Magazine, sorry.
