(Walt Disney Studios, 1936) Original production drawing featuring Mickey Mouse from Mickey’s Rival, showing him with a picnic blanket at his feet after it had been used as a matador's cape. An annotation on the right side points to the buttons on his pants, and reads: "Put Xs on only, leave buttons off front of pants." Accomplished in graphite and colored pencil on untrimmed 12 x 10 animation paper. Image measures 3.25 x 3.25. In fine condition. Early on in the cartoon Mickey's rival, Mortimer Mouse, plucked the buttons off the front of his trousers, thus the interesting annotation added here.
