Floyd Gottfredson - Original Comic Strip Art for Mickey Mouse Daily dated 12-4-34 (Walt Disney Enterprises, 1934). It's Mickey to the rescue in this exciting sequence from an early adventure storyline. This action-packed daily is filled with everything Mickey collectors could hope to find, including a chase in a dirigible (inflated with a "special gas derived from sauerkraut and garlic soup"). Mickey and Goofy are in hot pursuit after a kidnapped Minnie, whose Arabian-dressed abductors are making their getaway by camel. The art, by long-time Disney cartoonist Floyd Gottfredson, is crisp and sharp, with all the characters displaying the familiar "pie-eye" look of the early-to-mid 1930s. The black and white line work is enhanced by blue-pencil shading which denotes where benday dots should appear in the printed piece. Mickey strips of this period are always highly sought after; this particularly nice example should have collectors jumping through hoops to get it! The image area is approximately 26.5" x 6", and is in excellent condition. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
