In "The Nearsighted Lion," a 1951 Western Publishing gem, Mickey Mouse takes on an unexpected challenge when he rescues Leo, a blind, toothless lion from being sent to a glue factory. With Minnie’s encouragement, Mickey nurses the aging feline back to health—complete with glasses and dentures—only to find the lion’s newfound clarity brings more chaos than he ever expected. Illustrated with warmth and whimsy by Bill Weaver and Carl Buettner, and brought to life in vibrant colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this story features a cover by Dick Moores that captures the heartwarming oddity of the moment.
