291- I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N.........

a- Children revel in it! But what happens as they "mature"? As a sociologist, this guy has a therory...ANYONE, and I mean anyone, can develop and enter into your own world of imagination. You have no limits. If anyone dares place a limit on or around you? Don't allow them!
Walt Disney was not a brilliant artist, but, he did have within him that exciting world of potential imaginations. He would observe a tiny house, once, and "saw" a character that would make history around the world! I told you the true story, once, of how he wanted to name his mouse character "Mortimer." His wife insisted that Mickey would be much better. The rest, of course, is that history!

b- Walt Disney was born in Chicago, went through childhood and into adulthood as an 'ordinary' person, like the rest of us. However, he nurtured his wonderful world of imagination and developed the power to create within his own mind. He "saw" more than that little mouse scurrying around in his garage...he "saw" the tiny furry creature talking and moving, delighting a new world of film. And I earlier in a blog told you how he wanted to name his little mouse 'Mortimer'...and his wife, Lilly (Lillian), persuaded him to use the name of....Mickey! Ever seen those first Mickey Mouse short films? Still fascinates me that Walt Disney and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. would sit in a special seat in the back of the original Williamsburg Theatre to view and chat about a film...in the darkened theatre!

c- The Town of BlueButtercups(tm) is my bestest creation and composed of many unique, original characters, critters, who come alive in bold, vivid colors on paper. My fave creation is Skelli..."the world's oldest living UNICORN who lives in a treehouse with a hot tub on his 2nd floor!"(tm) Oh, there's an elevator inside the tree trunk to take the aged unicorn up to the 2nd floor or down.
Close to 100 original charaters have been created. A second fave of mine is "JelliButton"(tm). There's "g. daddy longlegs"(tm)..."Wishy Washy"(tm)..."Mr. Spots"(tm)/giraffe..."Srag"(tm)..."dina sour"(tm)..."fiddlesticks"(tm)..."Latr-Alligator"(m) and "Afta-While Crocodile"(tm).
Silly-Cats has 11 original cats, like "Shagnasty"(tm)..."Turnipseed"(tm)..."Pyjamas The Snub-Nose
(tm)..."S'nuss"(tm) and "MADbadKAT"(tm).
And there's "Ham 'N Jam"(tm)..."'Lasses"(tm)...."TooLoose Moose"(tm)..."Hack 'N Sack"(tm)..."the s'MeerKats"(tm)..."'Tee"(tm).
"The Ugly Bros"(tm)..."SkeeterEater"(tm)..."Glama Llama"(tm)..."Char 'N Bar"(tm) and "T-Bone Tooter!"(tm).
Newer faves are "Signed: God!"(tm), "Just Plain Fishin'!"(tm)and one that's a BIG surr-prise coming out when THE SERPENTINE BOND! meets America and the world. It's already been created on paper, painted and ready with a series of situations, and this original charater is strictly for college and university collegians!!! Little secret? Drives a little MG-Midget.

d- Nearly 100 have been introduced so far, over time, with neat T's coming later.
