2nd Version of Only Printing / October, 1972 / 36 pages / Kitchen Sink
_
Mickey Rat is usually hung-over, on drugs or otherwise incapacitated and lost in his own world. For someone who never seems to get much done he manages to sustain quite a superiority complex, always conveyed with a wickedly rude sense of humor. He is crass, raunchy, and tacky; capable of performing any act of filth. His mind is seemingly always on one track and incapable of growth or sustained comtemplation. Mickey Rat seems entirely unmotivated to accomplish anything but chase down his next piece of ass or a decent-size roach.

This is evident in the story "Feelin' Kinda Disney," which depicts a giant bird taking a shit on The Magic Kingdom. Patrons assume it's a new park attraction while Mickey, who landed on the pile of poop, finds joy in taking the customers' money until he's nabbed by the Disney police.
