from Phil's link.the artwork is still brilliant...not Basil now..
Wonder if this artwork was used in America or just for the British and European market..


Heres a very British theme...so must have been for our country only

I don't know where my MMWs are. I went through a crate last night (comics not beer) and they weren't in it - another dozen crates to go. (Those stackable plastic crates from Tesco which fold flat - ideal tabloid comic size).

Except when you stack them and the weigh of the comics in each starts to flatten the ones underneath!

I was extremely honored to write a bio of Wilfred Haughton for this book. Luckily, some of his family is still living; with their help, I was able to confirm just when and why he stopped working on Mickey. He was actually capable of drawing the more modern design, so that wasn't the problem.
The story of how Haughton started, however, is even more interesting. His first Disney work—in 1930—involved drawing the vignettes on the sides of this...

sounds like a great book...
interesting that he could do the modern style...so its an urban myth..was it to do with pay?

looks like we'll have to buy the book

whats the title of the book as the link takes me to a mickey tin toy?

There were really two links in my message—but for clarity's sake, this one will also take you to my book.

But hey, while Amazon UK might be the easiest for you to order it, this other link to Amazon's US page for the book actually includes a "look inside" feature, so you can do a search on Haughton's name and read my whole article for free.

Theres some early Micky Mouse Weekly comics over on ebay by Phil-Comics! Great, bright colours and a lot of awful puns!
