This is Mickey Mouse's 81st birthday. "Making his debut in "Steamboat Willie" at the Colony Theatre in New York City on November 18, 1928, Mickey went on to star in over 120 different cartoons" (credit to Disney Archives). My tie also includes Goofy, who came on the scene first in 1932, and Donald Duck, introduced in 1934. (I goofily wore this tie on Sept. 20 and have added a correction to that day's entry!)
