I had to look this up because i thought there was no way these little faerie cabin-building caterpillars were real

Mickey Mouse by Spanish-American artist, Victor Moscoso (who created those psychedelic rock posters I featured recently).
I’ve featured bizarro versions of Mickey Mouse a few times now. Back in the 1970s, under many “underground” comic book artists, Mickey Mouse was regarded as the face of corporate America, a character to be mocked, explored, put in weird, twisted situations. Disney films in general were seen as maudlin, safe, sugary, castrated versions of fairy tales. At the same time, paradoxically, they were revered for what they were: animated Rembrandts. They were the dragon to slay. It seems that your position on Disney defined your position as an artist.
forget touching the prints of flowers, with their Latin names, nailed to the stucco—listen, no nailing the body to relaxation—no toweling the mirror’s squeaking skin—no skinnying the body—no bellying the plastic curtain, transparencing your problems no tuning the showerhead to pressure wash your hips—no drain digging for your ex’s hair, even if you’re standing in a puddle—even if you like it
— TR Brady, from “Limitations,” published in DIAGRAM
