November 15, 1975 – Floyd Gottfredson’s Final Daily Strip is Published
“Floyd played a major role in getting Disney’s (then) new character, Mickey Mouse, known throughout the world by producing Mickey’s daily comic strip.” – Archivist Dave Smith
On November 15, 1975, the final daily strip drawn by comic strip artist Floyd Gottfredson was published. Gottfredson, having drawn the comic as a “temporary assignment” in 1930, retired from the Disney Company on October 1, 1975. The comics began as an adaptation of the short films, evolving into a humorous adventure. As Gottfredson continued the strip, the strip became more gag focused as the size of comics shrank.
