Page 1:
Sweet: [Aw, why did it have to be a fish?] [I hate fish!] [The little bitty ones are bad enough, but this big, nasty fella? Yuck!] [Still, Vinny's stuck out here, and what kind of doctor would I be if I let some overgrown sardine eat one of my patients?]
narrator: [One of the unknown dangers in the seas around lost Atlantis has made itself very well known!] [Now Doctor Sweet of the Ulysses must overcome the deadly Nayap in order to save a comrade trapped on the ocean floor!]
Page 2, Panel 1:
Sweet: [Wahoo! This reminds me of my days in the cavalry!]
Panel 2:
Sweet: [Now, what do I remember about fish anatomy?]
Panel 3:
Sweet: [Yikes! Low bridge!]
Panel 4:
Sweet: [That was too close!] [Got to find a pressure point in this thing's nervous system--] [--paralyze it temporarily!]
sfx: WOOSH!
Panel 5:
Sweet: [Come on, you slimy critter--nap time!]
Panel 6:
Sweet: [Smart fish!] [Thinks it can shake me off by diving right at Vinny!]
Panel 7:
Sweet: [It's now or never!]
Page 3, Panel 1:
Vinny: [Hey, Doc, can I get a hug too?
Panel 2:
Sweet: [Almost--]
Vinny: [My foot's kinda stuck here.] [So you might want to point that thing somewhere else...]
Panel 3:
Vinny: [Well, this is one way to handle the situation...]
Sweet: [--got it!]
Panel 4:
Vinny: [My foot's unstuck!] [And here I though crashing the fish into me was a crazy plan!]

Vinny: [Looks like you two have gotten real close, doc!]
Sweet: [Ungh...]
Panel 6:
Vinny: [I thought you hated fish!]

Vinny Has a Blast!
Written and lettered by: Michael Stewart
Pencils by: Steven Butler
Inks by: Jim Amash
Colors: John Green
Published in: Disney Adventures Collector’s Issue! Atlantis: The Lost Empire Volume 11, Number 6 (pg.80-83).
Publisher: Buena Vista Magazines Inc.
Publication date: circa July 2001.
Text:
Page 1:
Rourke: [To reach Atlantis, we must get the Ulysses through that narrow opening in the rocks up ahead.] [Vinny, you'll have to blast a hole big enough for the ship to pass through.] [Moliere will handle any digging for you.]
Vinny: [You want your standard round opening, or maybe something interesting--] [--a diamond... or a figure eight? Perhaps an "A" for Atlantis?] [I've got enough nitro to get creative here...]
narrator: [Red alert! The crew of the submarine Ulysses faces the first major obstacle in their quest to find the lost continent of Atlantis!]
Mole: [-:Sigh:- I have just escaped the bath and now we go into the ocean?]
Page 2, Panel 1:
Rourke: [You're sure there's no other way, Milo?]
Panel 2:
Milo: [The Shepherd's Journal says we have to go through, Commander Rourke.]
Panel 3:
Milo: [It also says the seas around Atlantis contain unknown dangers...]
Panel 4:
narrator: [Minutes later, Vinny and Moliere eagerly strike out into the unknown...]
Vinny: [We'll bury two charges--one on each side of the opening.] [Like I always say, two explosions are better than one!]
Mole: [I cannot wait to sink my pickax into the unknown delights of this exotic undersea rock!]
Panel 5:
Vinny: [Remember, the depth of the holes must be very precise!]
Mole: [Please! Am I not the famous Moliere?]
Panel 6:
Vinny: [This explosion will be a true work of art!]
Panel 7:
Vinny: [Did Michelangelo ever sculpt rock on such a massive scale? No!]
Mole: [Something's moving over there...]
Page 3, Panel 1:
Mole: [Fish! Big fish!] [Scary fish!] [Vinny!]
Panel 2:
sfx: THWACK!
Panel 3:
Vinny: [You got that second hole ready?]
Mole: [Sacre bleu!]
Panel 4:
Mole: [Please--it looks hungry!]
Vinny: [Let you're little fishy nibble on this flare.]
Panel 5:
sfx: FLASH!
Panel 6:
Mole: [We go now!]
Vinny: [If that hole isn't just right, this explosion could be very... messy!]
Panel 7:
Mole: [Uh... sure. The hole is fine. Let's go!]
Page 4, Panel 1:
Vinny: [OK, time for the first big boom!
Mole: [Are we fare enough away?]
Panel 2:
Vinny: [The view is much better up close!] [On the count of three!] [One... ah skip it--boom.]
sfx: KA-BOOOOM!
Panel 3:
Vinny: [Let me guess--you didn't finish digging the hole...]
Mole: [Not exactly, no.]
Panel 4:
Vinny: [My foot is trapped! And your helmet is cracked! Get help from the Ulysses!]
Mole: [Yes! I'll go back to the ship!]
Panel 5:
Vinny: [Might as well finish the job...]
sfx: BA-BOOOOM!
Vinny: [Ahh! Is there anything more beautiful than a very large explosion?] [No, I think not!]
Panel 6:
Vinny: [Hey! Look who's back!] [That explains my sudden craving for fish sticks!]
narrator: [Turn to page 84 for the exciting conclusion!]
Notes:
This post is passed the weekly deadline! That's 1 demerit for me. I'll need to figure out something to do with those to make them effective.
This still counts as last week's post so I owe another this week, which I have decided will be the last comic in the Disney Adventures issue.
The story here takes place prior to the battle against the leviathan, seemingly before Milo's presentation on the bridge in the film.
We see that the Ulysses, unsurprisingly, carries diving equipment. However, these are ambient pressure diving suits, good for protection against tearing and cold but useless against the pressure at deeper levels. Humans can't really survive more than 60 meters (196.85 feet) below, which is why Atmospheric Diving Suits were invented! Imagine them in steampunk-esque, underwater robot suits instead!
The "scary fish" (the nayap according to Sweet's Fish Story!) is the first fantastical creature encountered by the expedition. It doesn't seem particularly interesting, though. A weird shark with a feathery tail and long snout?
Vinny's dialogue really shows how much Don Novello brought to the performance. Without his adlibbing and weird energy the character just doesn't hit the same.

Another thing if you're interested in this kind of discussion on this blog, how accurate do you think the magazine info is to the final movie? For example I find Milo being 32 a little odd considering the other characters calling him junior or kid and the making of doc calling Audrey closer to Milo's age, as well as Cookie being described as a good but tough cook seeming a bit different from his movie character. Would it be plausible that it has info from slightly earlier drafts or that sort of thing, or do those not seem like mistakes to you?
Generally I think it's canon.
Milo is younger than everyone but Audrey and Helga, and certainly greener than all of them. I think the characters are referring more to his level of experience than his age.
As for Cookie my best guess is he can make delicious food, he just doesn't agree with what count's as good usually.
But I do think it originally comes from notes that may have been overwritten in newer drafts.

Do you know about the "making of" documentary for atlantis? I've seen uploads of it on youtube, one description phrases it kind of like the channel created it but do you possibly know anything about it? I noticed it's not in the media list.
https://youtu.be/tvR9Zdp74fY
https://youtu.be/VL1n0fQbbbA
That's a bonus feature from the home video release, I need to add that stuff to the list too.

Did you notice the various Atlantis-like scenery seen in the game Disney Dreamlight Valley? Also, have you ever heard of the books The Mythical World of Atlantis: From Plato to Disney, The Journal of Milo Thatch, and Atlantis Subterranean Tours?
As previously answered, I will be getting Dreamlight Valley once the computer is upgraded (I wonder if anyone else has tried translating the runes yet?)
And yes! Those books are all on the list.

Have you ever checked out the game Disney Dreamlight Valley before? There are Atlantis referenced scattered throughout the game.
I plan to as soon as my computer is upgraded!

Why aren't House of Mouse or Once Upon a Studio mentioned yet?
Because it didn't occur at the time (though obvious in hindsight) to list crossovers. And I do need to update the list badly.
Also, I had the wrong idea about what Once Upon a Studio was! I assumed it was a behind the scenes documentary and somehow thought I'd seen confirmation of that. Now I need to give it a watch through and find any applicable shots.
So thanks for the correction!

Have you ever read Disney Yearbook 2002? It features an Atlantis-themed short story called "Milo's Rescue Mission." Can you upload every illustration depicting Kida in her Queen dress from the movie's epilogue? Had Atlantis not been a flop, the movie would've potentially gained merchandise marketed for girls, focusing mostly on the Atlanteans (the expedition characters was mostly for boys), particularly Kida now as their new Queen and wearing a modest formal dress as her new outfit.
If this is the one you mean then I have now ordered it and thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Queen Kida may appear in the Visual Guide but I do not have access to that yet. If I do come across her I will be uploading the images as part of the archive.
I have no doubt that Disney would've merchandised the hell out of the film had it been successful, it's the only reason they make them honestly. But the specifics you mentioned, is that from the Year Book? From what I saw it seemed more a marketing booklet so it'd make sense.
I had seen you make this ask a couple times and I apologize for how long I've taken to respond. I was trying to get confirmation on the Visual Guide. Hopefully I can be faster in future.
