'The Keeper of The Mouse' Passes Away

Ralph Kent dies at age 68. The 'Disney Legend' "trained other artists to draw Mickey Mouse and was responsible for deciding what merchandise related to the cartoon rodent was released." The reason I'm posting this in here is that, according to this article, he also designed "the big fish that represents baseball team the Florida Marlins."

MORE: "In addition to his work with Disney, he designed Billy Buffalo, the mascot for the Buffalo Bills pro football team, and Billy the Marlin, the mascot for the Florida Marlins major league baseball team, his wife said." (BaltimoreSun)
