I grew up reading the Topolino stuff in French translation. Some of it was pretty inventive, especially since they also developed some additional characters in Disney character strips that to my knowledge never made it to the US.

Needless to say, the Topolino stuff I read was produced long after Il Duce was out of the picture.

I used to read Topolino as a kid too in Trieste Italy. I guess Disney picked it back up? It had daffy duck too. The stories were awesome.

Walt was only a couple inches to the left of Henry Ford. I’m convinced it’s why his cartoon shorts, compared to WB’s and MGM’s, are so humorless. Even trivial parables like “The Grasshopper & The Ants” became heavy-handed anti-New Deal/pro-business propaganda in his hands.

And yes, I know he voted for FDR at first (as did Reagan), because Hoover and the GOP had failed so spectacularly, but as soon as FDR began to actually deliver what he had promised, Walt moved rapidly to the reactionary right.
