Oh, it exists, but it's just recently come off a three-plus year haul 
negotiating one license. Once it catches it breath, then we'll see.

And I'm not being diplomatic. There has been no hint from Disney that 
there is anything afoot to suppress the Gottfredson Mickey. As others 
have already remarked here, the Mickey Disney has shown the most recent 
interest in has been very much along "classic" lines - exactly the 
Mouse that the best of Gottfredson exemplifies.

Can I be diplomatic, though? Oh yes, I can say "Please pass the sweet 
and sour shrimp" with the best of 'em.
