Huey Dewey or Louie, Embroidered Postcard


Most likely this is Huey with his embroidered red cap and shirt.

made and printed in Spain

- - - - - - -

In early comic books and shorts, the caps of Huey, Dewey, and Louie (Donald Duck's nephews) were colored randomly, depending on the whim of the colorist.

On few occasions until 1945 and most every cartoon short afterward, all three nephews wore identical outfits (most commonly red). It wasn't until the 1980s when it became established that Huey is dressed in red, Dewey in blue, and Louie in green.

Disney's archivist Dave Smith, in "Disney A to Z," said, "Note that the brightest hue of the three is red (Huey), the color of water, dew, is blue (Dewey), and that leaves Louie, and leaves are green." Another combination that shows up from time to time is Huey in blue, Dewey in red, and Louie in green. In-story, this inconsistency is explained away as a result of the ducklings borrowing each other's clothes.

I checked and this company is still open and selling these cookies! For a price of $66.99 you get seven cookies. If you want only four cookies, they are more than $10.00 a cookie at $45.99.   I'm thinking they must be REALY GOOD cookies.  To their credit, they are hand decorated and that has to be a Lot of work.

Main Street, U.S.A Candy with Jiminy Cricket


Walt Disney World

Extraordinary Confectionery
Jiminy Cricket finds that even the littlest guy can have a giant appetite for the tasty sweets offered in the candy shop on Main Street, U.S.A.
1979

- - - - - - -

Main Street, U.S.A. is the first "themed land" inside the main entrance of most Disney parks. Towards the end of Main Street you can see Cinderella's Castle.

Main Street, U.S.A. is home to City Hall, in which the Guest Relations office is located. Further along Main Street, the names painted in the windows on Main Street serve as credits for some of the many people, Imagineers and others, who contributed in some way to the creation of Disneyland. Largely they appear as fictional businesses (gyms, realtors, dentists), and they often refer to a hobby or interest that the person honored. Ub Iwerks's window, for example, refers to his prowess with cameras. For Disneyland's 50th anniversary, on July 17, 2005, a first-story window on each Main Street was unveiled with a dedication to all the cast members (employees) who had worked for Disney throughout the years.
