@internetarchive Everyone focuses on the mouse, but I'm just glad that artists are now free to anthropomorphise steam whistles.

@LonM @internetarchive Here is a article about just that artist: kcur.org/history/2021-05-22/wa

Kansas City animator Ub Iwerks. It was Iwerks, not Disney, who in 1928 designed Mickey Mouse.

@LonM @internetarchive Disney has continued the trend to not credit the artist and indeed bullies them into signing over their copyright.

So in a sense, the Walt Disney company did eventually tell the true origin story of Mickey Mouse. It just took 70 years or so.

Business as usual... bastards.
