Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #63
In "Buying a Pet," the ever-resourceful Gyro Gearloose faces off against the sneaky Emil Eagle in a clever game of wits, as the villain disguises himself as a vacuum cleaner salesman and later a firefighter to steal Gyro's latest invention plans. With his thinking cap and robot bloodhound on the case, Gyro turns the tables on the vain eagle using a surprisingly effective hair-growing formula. Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Jack Bradbury, with inks by Steve Steere and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1966 adventure features a delightfully inventive caper, all wrapped in a cover by Carl Barks.

Disguised as a vacuum cleaner salesman, Emil Eagle pushes his way into Gyro's lab, but is foiled before he can vacuum up Gyro's latest invention plans. Emil later returns dressed as a firefighter, gets Gyro to jump into a fireman's-net-trap, and makes off with a passel of plans. With the help of his thinking cap and robot bloodhound, Gyro tracks Emil and tricks the vain "bald eagle" with a hyperactive hair-growing formula.
