Well well well. After 95 years, the OG Mickey Mouse is in the public domain. So of course we see just how close we can get to bringing the fury of the House of Mouse upon us as quickly as possible. What a way to start 2024.
Anna and Bailey were excellent solvers, and it was great to have them back on the pod after so many months.
