Long before Mickey came along, Walts Golden Goose was a little fella called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit a character he, his brother and a bunch of animators came up with which ending up bringing in $1500 a short in the 20s!! Not a bad little earner! However, as in all the best bedtime stories corporate stooges read to their issue at night, Oswalds rights were purloined from the Disney brothers by a savvy distributor in New York (ah the clichés) along with all of Disneys animators bar one. And is if things werent shaping up nicely enough into a good oldastardly folktale, that one animator who stayed was a doting faithful employee named Iwerks ... there, more tomorrow night. Go to sleep now Jnr.
A. J. S. Scott was created as a homunculus by a mad English Alchemist who was trying to make rum from ink and seawater. He is still a fan of both and he has no comment on what happened to all the ‘No Exit’ signs in Islington Underground Station when he visited for Beltaine.
