Great lover, scholar, soldier, sailor, singer, toreador, tycoon,
jockey, prizefighter, automobile racer, aviator, farmer. Mickey
Mouse lives in a world in which space, time, and the law of physics
are nil. Hecan reach inside of a bull s mouth, pull out his teeth
and use them as castanets. He can lead a band orplay violin solos;
his ingenuity is limitless; he never fails.
We ve already seen the gorgeous treatment that Fantagraphics has
given to books like Peanuts... sothere s no doubt that Gottfredson
s Mickey Mouse will get the same. Kudos to them for bringing
thework of a legendary artist back to today s readers in a way that
will honor his memory and contributionsto the medium.--David Wolkin
