The ever-entertaining John K posted this awesome vintage Mighty Mouse toy.

It has an off-kilter intensity that I find pretty delightful. I could never be certain if this thing were out to “save the day”…or murder me in my sleep without remorse.

Don’t you love his sparse, wind-swept eyelashes? And here’s my favorite part: the tag reading “AN IDEAL ULTRAFINE ANIMAL” (conspicuously dangling over his disturbingly defined mouse crotch).


I can always count on John K’s blog!
Note: for some reason I accidentally wrote down “Mickey Mouse” instead of “Mighty Mouse” despite the fact that I knew it was the latter…has Disney seeped that far into my subconscious??? Thanks to those who pointed this out!

Isn’t this Mighty (not Mickey) Mouse?
My first thought exactly. I vaguely remember Mighty Mouse cartoons when I was little, but I’m not sure if he was an American creation or the British come-back version of Mickey Mouse.
oh…i hope you know i wasnt been snarky! I didnt even click on the other guy’s blog so I just thought he had posted it as Mickey Mouse and so you posted it as the same ๐
