Mickey Mouse is Walt Disney's most famous creation.
He first appeared in the cartoon Plane Crazy and then in Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928. His first appearance in comic strips was on January 13, 1930.
While Disney and his cartoon shorts focused on comedy, the comic strip version combined comedy and adventure.
From 1930 till 1950, though the numbers of the comic creators that worked on Mickey increased, the most popular version, considered the "classic" version today, was that of Floyd Gottfredson who developed Mickey's character, adopted characters from the cartoons and created many others. Since 1950 the most popular version of Mickey is that of Italian creator Romano Scarpa who continues on using Gottfredson's continiuty, further develops Gottfredson's characters and has added many of his own.
Mickey Mouse has two nephews, the lesser known Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse. Donald Duck's three nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, are far better known.
Mickey's most well known supporting characters are his girlfriend Minnie Mouse, his dog Pluto, and his best friends Goofy, Donald Duck, and Horace Horsecollar.
Mickey has been known to star in Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse.
Because the likeness of Mickey Mouse is so closely identified with Disney, the Walt Disney Company has lobbied for and got repeated copyright term extensions from the United States and European Union.

Mickey Mouse bears a striking resemblance to the image.
