Notable Ears

There is a long and rich history of people, animals, aliens, and more with large appendages coming from the lateral regions of their heads. Unfortunately, I can only make this ear chronology introduction brief, focusing on the past hundred years. So let us start with one certain mouse.

Mickey Mouse
Steamboat Willie
1928

Can't get much more iconic than that.

Dumbo
Dumbo
1941

(Note: This photo was taken before he got drunk.)

 Dr. Dischord
The Phantom Tollbooth
1961

One of the best books ever written. Read it.

Ferengi
Star Trek
1987

These aren't the most beautiful of ear examples...

Obama
The U.S. Presidency
2009-present

...but these certainly are.

And of course, Lee, the main character of this film! Pictures to come once we have earlids (stay tuned for in-progress photos of their creation).
