Take a look at the calendar. Today, Friday the 13th, is Donald Duck's lucky day according to the 1939 Disney short! Three of the five original illustrations of this cartoon short by Tom Wood for Good Housekeeping have survived. In general, the Disney illustrations for Good Housekeeping are among the most extraordinary illustrations the studio ever created.

Anyone who has seen Walt Disney's1933 animated short "Puppy Love" can tell you that Pluto's girlfriend is Minnie's dog Fifi. Here that great canine couple grace the cover of Mickey Mouse Magazine, Pluto, of course, being Mickey's dog. You can see that Pluto and Fifi remain an item in February of 1939. So far as I know, it's still going strong.
