As the story goes, Walt Disney coined the term "Mouseketeers" for a Silly Symphony cartoon in 1936 called "Three Blind Mouseketeers." The term remained in use sporadically and was loaned out by Disney to Warner Bros for a cartoon series. Then it more or less disappeared. It was not until the MMC TV series in 1955 that MOUSEKETEER and MOUSE EARS became a permanent part of pop culture.

                For the last fifty years,  the Mouseketeers and The Mickey Mouse Club have been included in nearly everyone's history in one way or another and may be found in such disparate aspects of our world as John Updike's fictional "Rabbit" Angstrom series of novels, the soldiers singing "The Mickey Mouse Club Song" at the end of Stanley Kubrick's film "Full Metal Jacket", even Elvis cut a disc of "The Mickey Mouse Club March", and the series has many times been the subject of cartoonists.

                These are Mouseketeer and Disney oriented cartoons I have collected over the years and that visitors to the site have contributed.  It's gotten to be quite a collection.  All copyrights remain with the artist or newspaper syndicate as indicated.  If you have one I've missed, please make a copy and send it to Mousecartoons, PO Box 74594, San Clemente, CA 92673. I'll try to put it in the next update. 

                The new cartoons appear right after Uncle Walt/Mickey below.  Enjoy!
