Goofy Visits a Gay Bar

Among his many other accomplishments, Mickey Mouse was the star of a Sunday comic strip in newspapers. The comic debuted on January 10, 1932 and continued running until the mid 1980's. The comics were designed to show Mickey and his friends in a more contemporary manner then the timeless animated shorts that were also being produced at the time. This strip is from November 12, 1950 and features as a punch line Goofy entering what would today be known as a gay bar.
