That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

So I've been reading the thread for a while now, and there's still one question that hasn't been answered for me: what exactly are the pluggers plugging?

edit: actually, two questions, is it "On the Fast Rack" or "On the Fas Track" or does Holbrook just have an extremely tenuous grasp of the English language?

okay I have many questions but most of the rest are "what is wrong with this cartoonist's brain"

it's "fast rack", i think they're supposed to be a data storage company (so like, server racks or whatever?)

I've got my father's great big six-shooter with me 'n' if anybody in this woods wants to start somethin' just let 'em--but they DASSN'T.
Yeah, I'm still curious enough to see where Mousetrapped goes, so here we are again.


Julius was the cat in Disney's Alice Comedies, Walt's breakout series. If you're not familiar, the gimmick was combining the live-action Alice with a fully animated everything else. Alice was nominally the star, but in the middle of 1920s Felix-mania, Julius ran off with the show every chance he got. Which brings us back to this...


"The Winkler Street Orphans" is a reference to Margaret Winkler, the first female film distributor in the United States and the distributor of the Alice Comedies. Winkler and Disney had a solid working relationship--in fact, she was the one who suggested that Alice team "use a cat wherever possible and don’t be afraid to let him do ridiculous things"-- but then she married Charles Mintz, who took over the company and named it after himself. Mintz demanded more product on lower budgets, and when they brought Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Universal, it was a little over a year before Mintz set up his own animation studio and signed all of Disney's animators up for it except Ub Iwerks, who knew what kind of underbellied scheme was in progress. And as legend goes, on the train trip back from the meeting where he walked away from all of the Mintz nonsense, Walt Disney started thinking about cartoon mice.

A lot of :words: (and that's the intensely boiled-down version), but if you learn nothing else from this, always remember that Mickey was Walt's rebound guy.
