DescriptionHere is a fun, vintage Mickey Mouse strip by Gottfredson. It is from the The Monarch of Medioka story-line and so that is not Mickey but a royal look-a-like. This was a night scene so lots of zip-a-tone and as a result extensive glue stains that are very distracting and take away from the appeal of the art. The piece is on its way to have the glue stains removed to protect the art in the future and some other minor conservation done to make sure this 85 year old piece still looks great in another 85 years from now. This art came from a local collection and had been buried for over 50 years so something new for the Disney enthusiasts to get excited about. These early Mickey Mouse dailies are extremely rare. As soon as it returns to me, I will scan it and it will get framed and will find a space on my wall.Update April 2021. The piece came back from conservation/restoration today. New image posted as well as a before and after in the additional images. The art is not as white as the scan shows, there is still a bit of a PATINA (caps for Ruben's benefit). Social/Sharing |

What a gem! Gottfredson was one of the best cartoonists of his day! Good for you having this treasure restored and preserved!

Beautiful strip, one of the best I've seen from The Monarch of Medioka.
I think you should keep it without restoration, in my opinion the night scene would be "preserved" by the color of the glue, it would remain fascinating

Jeff, this looks fantastic! You should really be pleased with the work that Robert did on the MM daily. Now beautifully preserved for future generations. Well done, my friend!

I don't know who this other "Ruben" is who asked you to emphasize the word patina in all-caps, but even a half-wit knows that patina is an effect created by a cause, that cause being oxidation on METAL such as bronze or copper over a long period of time, NOT paper. You can also create patina artificially with different acids, which is how new furniture is aged to appear antique.
Any time you're unsure about correct usage of terminology, feel free to ask me. Unlike this other "Ruben" you speak of, who sounds to me like wolf in sheeps's clothing, I will lead you to the promised land, rather than astray. The late, great, Jiménez Jiménez will be turning over in his grave to see you led astray this way, Jeff. But I'm happy I'm still here to put you back on the path of wisdom, rather than the path of ignorance, which ultimately leads you to hell. 😘 🥰 😄

Look at Mickey being all smug. One would almost think Disney has money.

Nice one, and the restauration made it look even nicer - also when one considers a bit of patina into the mix. Gottfredson was at the top of his game in this story.
