A medieval fresco featuring a rodent with an uncanny resemblance to Mickey Mouse has been uncovered in an Austrian church.

As word of the 700-year-old image spread, the minds of local tourism officials began working overtime.

Y’know, I immediately pictured Mickey with a monocle and a stock “Ve haff vays off makink you talk!” accent when I saw this thread.

Looks more like Mortimer Mouse.

Looks female to me.

Or Topo Gigio? Makes more sense geographically.

According to the BBC

Historians say the creature may in fact be a weasel, which in medieval times was believed to give birth through its ears.

Shopkeepers rubbed their hands and expressed the hope that the fresco would turn the village into a shrine for Mickey Mouse fans from around the world.
