...High and low art collapsed into one another. It was inevitably Mickey who made Stokowski more of a star by the handshake, not the other way round. The gesture made Pop art possible and, after a gestation of nearly 20 years, it duly arrived in a flurry of mice: Roy Lichtenstein is said to have happened on his comic-strip idiom after his son asked him to prove he was a real artist by drawing a Mickey.

"We sold out better than four times the usual number of copies," said Roy Carlson of The Gopher News Co., "and we're still trying to get more." The Minnesota issue of TIME was in such short supply, in fact, that one barbershop chained its copy to the wall...
