Mickey Mouse Club

I’ve said this before but in my hierarchy of cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny is tops, followed by Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. I do not enjoy watching Mickey Mouse shorts. However when it comes to character watches, Mickey’s design feels best suited to timepieces (Snoopy is a close second and Warner Brothers animations come in at a distant third).

This is a long way to say that I got a bunch of Mickey stuff this weekend. I went on a thrift safari with my friend Sarah and she brought me an amazing MM wall clock. Then we hit the second hand stores of Mississauga where I found this red sweatshirt featuring the “pie-eyed” Mickey — my favourite of all the versions.

Also picked up this pink plastic Minnie Mouse character watch. It needs a battery and the strap needs replacing. I will take it with me on tomorrow’s ambles to get it running again.

Not Disney, but Sarah also brought me this mechanical Bert and Ernie watch. The plastic strap is child sized so I will be requiring something a little longer.
