Horace Horsecollar
Horace Horsecollar is a cartoon character created in 1928 at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Horace is a tall anthropomorphic black horse and is one of Mickey Mouse's best friends. Characterized as a boastful show-off, Horace served as Mickey’s sidekick in Disney’s early black-and-white shorts. A common gag in his early appearances was his ability to change at will from being a normal horse to a more human-like character. Horace first appeared as Mickey’s plow horse in the 1929 cartoon '' The Plowboy''. Later that same year, he appeared in ''The Jazz Fool'' and afterwards became a regular member of the Disney supporting cast along with Clarabelle Cow and Clara Cluck. Though typically a supporting character, he was given significant screen time in such cartoons as '' The Beach Party'' ( 1931) and ''Camping Out'' ( 1934). In recent years, Horace has appeared in ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''Disney's House of Mouse'', the new '' Mickey Mouse'' shorts, and ''Mickey and the Roadster ...

Don Markstein's Toonopedia
Don Markstein's Toonopedia (subtitled A Vast Repository of Toonological Knowledge) is an online encyclopedia of print cartoons, comic strips and animation, initiated February 13, 2001. Donald D. Markstein, the sole writer and editor of Toonopedia, termed it "the world's first hypertext encyclopedia of toons" and stated, "The basic idea is to cover the entire spectrum of American cartoonery." Markstein began the project during 1999 with several earlier titles: he changed Don's Cartoon Encyberpedia (1999) to Don Markstein's Cartoonopedia (2000) after learning the word "Encyberpedia" had been trademarked. During 2001, he settled on his final title, noting, "Decided (after thinking about it for several weeks) to change the name of the site to Don Markstein's Toonopedia, rather than Cartoonopedia. Better rhythm in the name, plus 'toon' is probably a more apt word, in modern parlance, than 'cartoon', for what I'm doing." Comic strips Toonopedia author Donald David Markstein (March 21, ...
