  1. This looks like a magazine illustration piece. Maybe something for Western Family magazine?

  2. Interesting thought, thanks Patrick... I'll have to check out Western Family. The only notation on the sketch is a '3"' reference on the left vertical. Mickey's ears have that "quickly drawn" look that was around for a while. Thanks, again, and I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

  3. Hi,

    I would guess that this comes from an issue of Dell's Walt Disney's Comics & Stories, which had text stories using such illustrations as openers.
