Steamboat Willie Arrives

November 18th, 2008

On this day in 1928, Mickey Mouse debuted as Steamboat Willie.

Did you ever notice, that no matter where Mickey Mouse went, in the black and white days, he never carried any luggage? In fact, I think the only Disney character I have ever seen with a suitcase of any kind was Goofy, and it wasn’t Zero Halliburton that’s for sure. I may be mistaken, but I think he’s the only one that brings a change of clothes when he travels.

You can find out more about this day in history at the History Channel, Those Were The Days, and InfoPlease.
