Mickey Mouse, the most popular character in history,the little rodent who helped build the empire of Walt Disney, celebrates his 80'th birthday today. Oddly, the Disney corporation is not making a big deal of Mickey's birthday, perhaps because it is worried that mentioning Mickey Mouse great age will damage his reputation among his youngest fans. So it is up to the rest of us to celebrate for him - and celebrate we should.

Disney marks Mickey Mouse birthday on this day in 1928 upon the release of Steamboat Willie. Now 80 years on Mickey Mouse has grown to be one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.

He never ages. No wrinkles, no drops, no sagging, not even a gray whisker. That's my kind of aging!

Happy 80th Birthday Mickey Mouse! ...
