[Boatanchors] OT: Morse Code in a comic book

[Phil]

Today I was perusing a very old Mickey Mouse comic book in computer file 
format.  It caught my attention because Mickey, who is flying over the 
Amazon picks up some weak and jumbled Morse Code.  Figuring it's an 
explorer in distress they land, where they find some giant sand hills 
with holes in them.

Turns out to be a giant ant hill, they're soon captured by giant ants, 
who are communicating to each other in Morse through their antennas.

LOTS of Dits and Dahs are passed back and forth.  I tried to decode it, 
only to figure out that it was mostly gibberish, not at all what Mickey 
was telling Goofy was being said! Guess the cartoon writer either didn't 
know Morse, or figured nobody would take the time to decode it ;-)
