Ten-Page Podcast: the Riddle of the Red Hat (1945)

Guest Hosts: Thad Komorowski & Debbie Perry Greetings listeners! In celebration of Mickey Mouse's birthday, on November 18th, we bring you this episode devoted to the ONLY Mickey Mouse story the Duck Man wrote and drew! The Riddle of the Red Hat is an unusual ten (actually eleven)-pager, and we take advantage of the opportunity to discuss Floyd Gottfredson, the famed Mickey comics artist and plotter that was one of Barks' principal inspirations. We discuss how the artists got involved with Mickey, how Barks found inspiration from Gottfredson, and the two artists' meetings later in life.
