SUE ME PLZ

The New York Times ran a very cool article on the decline of Mickey Mouse a couple of days ago. It pretty much said exactly what you'd expect: Mickey's not popular. Not as much as he was, not as much as he should be. And that's because he's not a character anymore, and in a lot of ways, he never was; he's a logo, long devoid of a biography, personality, and even the merest flicker of charisma. And that's a shame.

To go along with the article, the Times had a few cartoonists reinvent Mickey; the slideshow of results can be seen here.

(Yes, you have to register to see it all. No whining. Just get some throwaway Yahoo account and do it, it's worth the trouble.)

I guess I got a little inspired, myself. So I took a crack at Minnie and Mickey both.

Like most guys named Mickey I know, it turns out that my own personal Mouse is a drunken Irishman.

Who's in the mood for a tersely-worded Cease and Desist? Cuz my Minicomic Sense is tingling.

Ouch. So that's what a belly laugh feels like.

I say go for it. You can get the court order framed...

Glad you guys like it. Not too sure how I'll present it, but I'll at least try to make it funny...
