I was thinking of "old" political news, damn if I know why, and it occurred to me again how "Friend Ken" said prior to the 2012 elections that the GOP could "beat Zippy by running Mickey Mouse against him," and after the election I said how it was a shame they couldn't persuade Mickey to run. It just occurred to me tonight that the Republicans' problem was that they ran Gladstone Gander instead of Mickey Mouse, which pretty well guaranteed their failure. (Wish I'd thought of that back then -- what a lousy pundit I make.) Gladstone was, as you remember, the luckiest goose in the world, and a dandy to boot -- but had no friends, at least not among the other characters -- everyone hated him. And his luck always consisted of small stuff. There were no politics in the Disney comics, which was one reason everyone loved them.
