On November 18th, 1928 a star was born. His name— Mickey Mouse. Actually, Walt Disney's most famous character appeared before that date, but nonetheless, November 18th is known as Mickey Mouse Day, because that's when he appeared in Steamboat Willie, the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound.
Celebrate Mickey Mouse Day the right way, either by watching Mickey's cartoons OR by drawing him yourself!
