Rare Original 1930s Pinback Button Artwork of OSWALD'S KITTY from the WALTER LANTZ STUDIO. KITTY was OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT'S GIRLFRIEND. OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT was a Cartoon Character Created by UB IWERKS & WALT DISNEY in 1927 for WALT DISNEY'S "ALICE COMEDIES." OSWALD quickly became very popular with the Audience. After several successful Cartoons with OSWALD & with much difficulty with Studio Heads WALT DISNEY went on to Produce MICKEY MOUSE Cartoons.
