Origin
Minerva (Minnie) Mouse comes from a family of four mice, Her father Marcus Mouse, Her mother Margie Mouse, Minnie and Her sister Mandie Mouse. Her best friend is Daisy Duck and it is well known that she is Mickey’s girlfriend. She is also friends with Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and Clarabelle Cow. Minnie also has a large extended family. She is often seen in a red polka dot dress that is in similar style to that of a flapper girl from the 20s. Minnie is loved by all of those around her for her kind and generous nature.
Creation
Minnie was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for her first ever debut on film inside the classic ‘Plane Crazy’ in 1929. In terms of comic books, Minnie was popularized during the 1930’s in newspaper strips including ‘Mickey Mouse and Friends’. Finally, Western publishing granted the manufacturing of a Disney comic book, with the status of the newspaper strips becoming totally iconic. One of the most well known of Disney artists to work on these projects was Floyd Gottfredson; added to the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006. She has also appeared in the 2006 Kingdom Hearts Comic Book Series.
