Mouseketeers
Looking for a few good photoshoppers? Turns out that finding them today is as easy as A-B-C.
For the last couple of days I’ve been sifting through various ABC and Disney logos and other recognizably Disney-themed items (best example: the mouse ears beanies) looking for an as-yet unphotoshopped image that I could lay my humble claim to. It’s been tough, because so many good ideas have already been thought of and brought to fruition. Here’s a partial list; these are just a few of the ones I’ve seen so far:
at DailyKos: Willful Deception
at AmericaBlog: 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta w/ mouse ears
from Needlenose: the Path to 9/11
from the always brilliant Billmon: Pest Control
from Driftglass: Hey there, Hi there, Ho there!

By the end of the day Friday I’d seen tweaked images of all the most likely subjects for photoshopping except one:
the official poster for the Path to 9/11 miniseries.
Now there were some possibilities. Possibilities that would all be snapped up in a hurry by some enterprising PS artist other than me, as it turned out, as by that time it was 2am Saturday morning and I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer, much less do any serious photoshop work.
I went to bed thinking about my version of the Path to 9/11 poster, which would have Mickey’s eyes peering balefully through the tear in the flag, with the white-gloved Mickey fingers prying the tear open wider…
…and when I got up today and made my usual Bloglines rounds, sure enough, look what Maru had found:
from Lost Chord: The Mouse That Whored
Beautiful. Better than I coulda done, sir.
And in the comments at the above gentleman’s site, I found a link to another version, also muy excellent:
from Xenophile: The Evil That Mice Do
Today I see that both Lost Chord and Xenophile got links from Atrios yesterday. Enjoy the 20,000+ hits per day traffic, guys. You deserve it.
And now — the best for last. From the Editors, source of the killer genius Keyboard Kommandos Komix, comes an effort that is really in a class all by itself.
*the Billmon post I’m referring to is (and please DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK unless you are prepared to have the image you will see seared into your memory for the rest of your life) …here.
Alright then. The Poor Man Institute presents:
The Path To 9/11: An Exclusive The Poor Man Preview
I grovel at the Editors’ feet. They are Gods.

Yesterday I bet I saw 3 versions of this exact same picture (Bush w/ mouse ears, reading MyPet Goat at 9:05) but do you think I could find any of them today?? Oh, noooo. So I made my own.
