Disney Company. The comic strip story The Gleam, was published from

Gottfredson. They first gave her full name as Minerva Mouse. Minerva has
since been a recurring alias for her. Minerva was a Roman goddess of
crafts and wisdom. The Romans celebrated her festival from March 19 to

published from September 22 (this is the exact day Lost premiered!) to

first released on May 15 (15), 1928. Their next appearance in The
Karnival Kid, May 23 (23), 1929, casted Mickey as a hot dog vendor and
Minnie as a carnival Shimmy Dancer. Her final appearance for the year
was in Wild Waves, first released on August 15 (8/15), 1929. She spends
a day at the beach with Mickey. Their activities of singing and dancing
are soon interrupted when Minnie is swept by a wave into the sea. She

and return her to the shore but Minnie is still visibly shaken from the
experience. Mickey starts singing the tune of Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep, a maritime ballad written in 1832 by Emma Hart Willard, who
lived from February 23 (23), 1787 (1 + 7 + 8 + 7 = 23) to April 15 (15),
