Mouse Dropping, or, The State is Not You

A rather strange sticker spotted about town featuring a pop culture icon used as some kind of symbol for resistance, but with no clear rationale as to why and what- which is very much like the one word catchphrases and soundbites used prominently by political candidates with nothing to offer (except of course words, but not good words as say from a writer with something actually to say)

Perhaps it is the original Mickey Mouse crying out, a stab in the dark, a Mickey that comes before the Disneyfication of said Mickey, when he was a mischievous and cunning fellow (and also much more likable and believable a character)-  and, if you know not of what I write, then by all means do check the recently reprinted 1930s Gottfredson cartoons for a taste of that old existence.
