Mickey Mouse in Plaid Shorts with Banjo-- c. 1940s-50s Ink, Graphite and Crayon Drawing (Copy) weathervane house In their original box bottomI'm not especially big on Mickey Mouse, but I like the spirit and attitude of this drawing, with Mickey looking more laid back than manic in plaid shorts and booties, picking his banjo! 7 1 8" x 4 13 16". Graphite and colored pencil crayon on thinnish paper, with a few stains and loss to the upper right corner as evident.
