You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

A Celebration For The Ages: 50 Happy Years

Can Gyro Gearloose be part of our Countdown to Halloween 2019? Sure, because the inventor created by master Disney artist/writer Carl Barks,  is something of a mad scientist, even if this mild-mannered friend of Donald Duck seldom gets mad. But more to the point, look at this cover of Walt Disney Showcase #18, October 1973. Prominently displayed is the 50 Happy Years logo, for 1973 saw Disney celebrating its golden anniversary. To discover more about one of the most spectacular celebrations in Disney history, click here to read the D23 article I wrote about 50 Happy Years. It's a great way to honor the day on which Disney was founded, October 16, 1923.
