Indeed, that’s one creepy photo from 1930 … those are the kids who, just about a decade later, were trying to seduce my underage parents!

Wait, maybe we’re not seeing the same creepiness.

Time to brush off my copy of Stephen Jay Gould’s The Panda’s Thumb and re-read his essay on the evolution of Mickey from filthy rat into a character so sweet he makes my teeth hurt.

The new Mickey shorts have gone back to a look strongly influenced by the older second-generation version, albeit a modern(ish) take on it. They’re quite good!
