Epic Moments in History, Part 3

In 1927 Walt Disney was putting the finishing touches on his newly sketched-out mouse character, Mickey. As he traced over his pencil lines with black ink, the pen sprung a leak and spouted two large black ink blots right on top of the small perky little mouse ears that adorned the top of Mickey’s head. This resulted in Mickey having black abnormally large, perfectly rounded ears on top of his head. Walt almost wadded up the sketch and tossed it into the waste basket, but something beyond his control stopped him. The big ears just seemed so right. And the rest is history.
