Teddy Tail

Teddy Tail was a cartoon mouse featured from 1915 until the 1960s in England's The Daily Mail and several annuals. It was the first cartoon strip in a British newspaper.

Teddy Tail always had a knot in his tail, which sounds painful. Some people wonder why human beings don't have tails. Teddy Tail provides one reason why.


Eventually, Mickey made Teddy Tail his bitch.

  1. the daily mail is a despicable rag, just like... fox news. (if it were a newspaper). But who can resist a cute little mouse? Thats how disney was able to get away with all his heinous transgressions. by appealing to peoples love of anthropomorphized rodents.
