This original animation drawing can be seen at minute 3:42 of the short film "Mickey’s Rival" on online views. Here we can see Mickey on one of the funniest gags of the film with his face stuck in a teacup. The main drawing is marked TK 13 AL TR 12 on red pencil. The artwork is numbered 8/17 on the lower right side.

Directed by Disney Legend Wilfred Jackson, infamous for directing films such as "Peter Pan" or "Alice in Wonderland", this short film was released on June 20th 1936. This feature is about a picnic organized by Mickey for his girlfriend Minnie, suddenly interrupted by Mortimer, a Minnie old friend that during the story becomes "Mickey’s Rival". The voices are played by Walt Disney (Mickey Mouse) and Marcellite Garner, who was the first and original voice for Minnie Mouse. 

This feature is the first appearance ever of Mortimer, an arrogant mouse that tries to steal the heart of Minnie Mouse. Mortimer's name is not a coincidence: when creating Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney wanted to call him Mortimer, but Lilly, his wife, told him she did not like that name and suggested he to call the mouse Mickey. Now, "Mickey’s Rival" is named after Walt’s original idea for the company icon!

A great chance to get the funniest gag of one of the most celebrated films on Mickey and Minnie’s history. Mickey playing one of his greatest roles can be yours forever!
