The anti smoking thought for today is how come Mickey Mouse was used to encourage children to smoke? Very curious, for though Walt Disney did smoke, he did his best not to let anyone know about it and if he was smoking a signal would go up so that the corridors cleared of staff before he walked through. So I cant imagine that he would have embraced this connection.
Anyway the cards have no title, but they are clearly all Walt Disney Characters. There are two sets, of differing sizes, that have the "Mickey`s Sweet Cigarettes" panel at the top. The first, usually given as the suffix of 1, is a series of 35 medium sized cards and I didnt write down the measurements yet. This set was also issued in Ireland by Liam Devlin. Our set is the second, given the suffix of 2, and that is marked "2nd Series of 50", they are standard sized cards and the back is in red or pink. I think it is more likely to be the ink running out in the printing machine, or even different weather conditions, than it to two sets, for red and pink are just two stages of the same colour.
Now for the audience participation bit, there is a third set, this is described as "designs on rock packages" so presumably seaside rock? These had four pictures per package, but only one is known, which must mean that the four pictures appear on one card? Now this one shows four of the pictures from the first series of 35 medium cards, these being 1. Gus - 7. Goofy - 11. Fifer Pig - 19. Pinocchio. So does anyone have this four picture card, or even any others which have not been listed? If so, let us know....
