Μίκυ Μάους, or Miky Maoys, is Greek for Mickey Mouse, and the title of the main Disney publication in Greece from 1966 to 2013.
I didn’t find this issue, but as there were 2400+ issues, and this is numbered 1520, I’m going to venture a guess that it was the 1,520th, and thus a bit past the middle… perhaps from the 1990s?
BTW, it was consistently referred to as a magazine, but I get the feeling it’s more like what we call a comic book.
In fact, one site said Mickey Mouse, himself, and this magazine, are so well known and loved in Greece that “Miky Maoys” is even used as a generic term for comic books.
My first car was the family’s ’53 Willy’s Jeep which had much of these modern features including the starter button on the floor. Even the excruciatingly slow wiper was similar. The passenger side was by hand operation only, however – IF they wanted to see where we were going…!
Unfortunately, unless its new owner wants to sell it, you can no longer buy this car (the picture is a link / scroll down / the instruction diagram above is the last picture in the gallery).
Beautiful! I’d like to be the buyer, but getting it across the border has it’s issues. I could envision this one sitting alongside my ’28 in my garage…
Looks just like what I see when I look down while driving my 1928 Model-A, Early AR version (and my avitar). The cab-interior difference between mine and a “regular” 1928 Model A (and the later Model-As) is where the handbrake is situated, on an Early-AR it is on the far left, on a “regular” Model-A it is in the middle close to the stickshift. Wiper runs on vacuum from the carburetor and has a tendency to hesitate when accellerating due to what is happening inside the carburetor at at moment of accelleration. All fun times!
I’ve had mine since 1989 (bought completely restored, but it was becoming unrestored), and it will go to my Son-in-Law when I leave. He’s just started rebuilding a 1928 Phaeton, also an Early-AR, but his is years away from completion.
I was just looking for images to answer a question posted here, which has apparently been removed.
Presumably the poster thought it through, and realized the answer.
…
But in case anyone else is questioning the reality of this photograph…
No, it’s neither Leonardo nor his “model”… Nor is that painting even a copy of the Mona Lisa.
The actual Mona Lisa was painted the very early 1500’s, and Leonardo died in… ok gotta check… 1519.
Photography was invented some 300 and a bit years later.
We have photos of a young Abraham Lincoln, and lots of the American Civil War, but none of the War of 1812.
Therefore, there are no photos of Leonardo.
I thought the man in this one might be Walt Whitman, cos he looks familiar, but I’ve changed my mind. I still think it’s someone I’ve seen.
….
There was no artist’s model posing for the Mona Lisa.
There have been arguments over her identity for 500 years.
Most experts, but not all, think it’s a portrait of a noblewoman, Lisa del Giocondo, possibly commissioned but never delivered.
The painted face on the woman in this photo was pasted in.
The face in the painting on the wall, though, along with the hands and background, are not those of the Mona Lisa.
My wife was thrilled with the mixer. Of course it’s a different time and different life style. It isn’t a necessity for one of her “duties”, but rather a tool for one of her hobbies.
Well, I confess, there are kitchen things I love for presents, too… if the gift giver knows I truly want them.
Mostly cooking stuff, just for my use.
But you have to know the household and the people involved quite well.
If there’s a family, don’t give “family” appliances.
Not a toaster for everyone to use, or a waffle iron because you want waffles.
Some women hate any sort of household or cooking things as presents, especially if they dislike or resent doing the cooking.
Very few want cleaning tools. The idea in the 50s was to buy your wife a vacuum cleaner to make her job easier… Instead of seeing that it might be your job too.
Or even if you work and she doesn’t, realizing that you should buy a vacuum cleaner as part of the household budget, just like you buy a car or other household convenience or necessity…. Not as her special gift.
A lot of women think mixers and blenders, and new pots and pans, fall into that category as well. You both should be able to buy the tools she wants or needs in order to feed you better…. It’s no more a present than a new couch.
Unless you’re the sort of guy who thinks if you want a new drill you should ask your wife to buy it for you for Christmas.
It’s great if you know someone wants it… and considers it a gift.
I’m just saying don’t assume that most women feel that way.
Some do. Even me occasionally. I like cookware because I like to cook, and I live alone so it’s not for taking care of the giver.
But others don’t think of household appliances as personal gifts, especially if the rest of the family get gifts meant for their own enjoyment, and not for performing their duties.
I watched someone throw a toaster across the room.
I grew up for awhile in Indio, California. I can attest that they taste great. I have some dates in the fridge, but no ice cream. Maybe I’ll try making a date smoothie.

Im feeling just better enough that i made it t work this evening. Just long enough to put my client to bed.
I’m not better.
I came up negative on a covid test.
Good night. Ive got to do it again at six.
How could it not be a beautiful poster…
when it features the legendary Rudolph Bassetino!
And those eyes… those deep set lustrous eyes!
Sigh…. and that café au lait fur, with appropriately dark-roast-arabica-colored ears.
…
Agnes Ayredale seems not as well remembered…. but she was beautiful in the fashion of her day….
and she became a major star for a while, after this film.
It’s just very hard to compete for attention when you’re in a film with … swoon… Rudolph Bassetino… and … you know…. those eyes…. sigh…..
…..
As for “The Shake” …
A person could guess a lot of meanings for the title… but this film, while considered racy back then, was actually quite family-friendly by today’s standards.
The actual “Shake” to which it refers was something for which Bassetino had a magnificent on-screen talent….
though I wouldn’t want him to do it inside my house.
….
Look at all those towels they’re wearing….
on their heads, draped all over them, tied around their waists…
You’d think they could just dry off with them…
But NO, they just have to shake.
Bassetino could, and often did, soak the whole cast and crew!
It totally depends on what base you use and what ice cream.
Meringue is much lower in calories than whipped cream, and an angelfood cake base wouldn’t be high calorie either.
So a brownie sundae with rich fudge sauce, whipped cream, pecans and full fat ice cream would have way more calories than a piece of baked Alaska with lower fat ice cream and plain meringue on a sponge or angelfood cake base.
Tiramisu and other whipped cream concoctions, cakes and pies with chocolate ganache, rich fruitcakes, pudding or custard made with eggs and heavy cream… Those are caloric. And of course delicious.
.
I still think that they are some handsome dogs.
Wasn’t she on the cover of “Dogue”?

Goofy, there is no gum.

So driving your wind up car helps prepare you to handle a full size one, and get your license?
…
That’s a famous (in some circles) early Marx tagline on the box:
“One of the many Marx toys. Have you all of them?”
The truth is that even by then, to have every toy they made, you’d have needed to be wealthy and have a few extra bedrooms.
I think it’s for winding up and smashing into other things, then imitate daddy: “Darn student drivers!”
,
Cars were much simpler then, and nothing was automatic.
Sitting in the front seat, I see that you could control the spark, adjust the carburetor and the throttle, and shut off the gas.
Some people long for the days when you had that much control…
But some, like me, are rather glad we don’t have to know how or why to do those things.
My first car was the family’s ’53 Willy’s Jeep which had much of these modern features including the starter button on the floor. Even the excruciatingly slow wiper was similar. The passenger side was by hand operation only, however – IF they wanted to see where we were going…!

Sorry… more likely she’ll cry if that’s what she gets for Christmas.
At least I don’t see a vacuum cleaner or a mop.
What about the hair dryer? Mom loved hers.
That is more personal, to me. An ok gift if she wants one and maybe can’t afford it…
But not if you’re the sort of husband who keeps her on a budget, and she can’t afford it because you say so.
I’ve known women who resented being in that situation.
My wife was thrilled with the mixer. Of course it’s a different time and different life style. It isn’t a necessity for one of her “duties”, but rather a tool for one of her hobbies.
Well, I confess, there are kitchen things I love for presents, too… if the gift giver knows I truly want them.

Unless you’re the sort of guy who thinks if you want a new drill you should ask your wife to buy it for you for Christmas.
If I want a workshop tool, I do expect it to count as a gift. Sometimes the anticipation is the best part. Instant gratification is way over rated.
See, then it’s fair, buying her a mixer of you know she’d like one.
I still say a toaster for you both to use should be a joint household purchase, not her birthday present.
But every household, every couple, is different.
The key thing is being tuned in to each other, and not assuming she wants gifts to help with what you’ve labeled as “her” chores.
My mom WANTED a vacuum cleaner for Christmas one year. I got her a self-propelled and she loved it. I still use it.
It’s great if you know someone wants it… and considers it a gift.
I’m just saying don’t assume that most women feel that way.
Some do. Even me occasionally. I like cookware because I like to cook, and I live alone so it’s not for taking care of the giver.

Yeah, I want one of those!
Elena Chertkova
After a 2nd look, i think i like it.
First glance I liked it. After a second look, not so much. The finger shadows across her face are too far off from the shapes of her fingers.
I thought that was a man.
The foretelling of social media.
The comic this comes from.
It is available to be read online, but there’s a lot of clutter to work through, so I didn’t post a link this time.
Here’s the panel as it appears in the comic.
.
That’s a happy face. 🙂
“The Shake”
Chocolate, strawberry or vanilla?
If you ever in the SW you have got to find the orchards down there and have a date shake.
Never heard of them. But I would try one for sure. Dates are delicious.
As far as i know it’s the only fruit that candies itself on the tree. 😛
I grew up for awhile in Indio, California. I can attest that they taste great. I have some dates in the fridge, but no ice cream. Maybe I’ll try making a date smoothie.

Rudy Bassetino; such a heartthrob. A dog’s dog.
Ooh… yes, I remember it well!

Dogs.
and Stel added another touch–the twinkling stars
This time there was a bovine knock-off that I quite enjoyed. Milk Shake starred Rudolph Bullentino. His fan club’s motto was “Rudy For Heifer”.
McDonalds even added a promotional item to their menu for the release of this film. It was so popular, they still serve it today.
Good one. That deserves more than just a like.
The answer (which I worked out before posting this) is in the spoiler box.
There are 10 plums.
Right. And pretty easy.
Got it
I also got it.
A happy song meant to cheer you up.
Thank you. 😀
Gotta laugh. I’m getting tired of crying. :)
♥ I’m sanding all the good vibes I can to you.
Get well soon!
I was sick today, too. Good thing we have good self-made soup.
Baked Alaska
seems I remember reading somewhere that this is the most caloric dessert there is
For those days when you feel that dessert isn’t the only thing that should be baked.
From: “The Bartender’s Bible” by Gary Regan
Published by: Harper Collins 1991
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 91-55104
ALASKA
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce yellow Chartreuse
1 dash orange bitters
In a mixing glass half-filled with crushed ice, combine all of the ingredients. Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass.
WIKIPEDIA ON CHARTREUSE
I can’t see it being the most caloric.
It totally depends on what base you use and what ice cream.

besides Baked Alaska day, it’s also
You had me at chocolate.
Every day is dark chocolate day.
