Today is cartoon character (and corporate symbol) Mickey Mouse's 80th birthday. On November 18, 1928 the short film Steamboat Willie premiered. And the rest, as they say, is history.
For the complete story about the creation of my former boss, check out the documentary The Hand Behind the Mouse.
Happy Birthday, Mickey!
