Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet

All of the planets, or are you more concerned about the 7th planet in our solar system? It’s a gaseous planet that’s full of methane and can generate quite a lot of wind. And with all of the celestial bodies orbiting it, you’re sure to see at least one full moon.

Don’t bring up Mars and Venus unless you’re ready to have “The Talk” with Joe

Even weirder is Minnie Mouse has a pet cat.

Or to the 5th grade.

Just wait until he gets onto how some Dizeny characters have all these ‘nieces’ and ‘nephews.’

especially Uranus…

Mmm. Now I want a Mars bar.

Pluto was discovered in1930, the same year Walt Disney created Pluto the dog. Originally Mickey Mouse had a teenage boy personality so it made sense he would name his dog after the latest space discovery. It would be like a 1950’s kid naming their dog, Astro or Rocket.

All the other planets just laughed and called it names!

R.I.P. Pluto, 1930-2006.

If you think Pluto got a bad respose, don’t even think about asking him to spell the one that starts with “U.”

It all goes to pot when you get to Uranus!

Oh, just wait until you get to Uranus!

Old news, Goofy is an anthropomorphic dog that talks and wears clothes and has hands. Pluto is just a dog. As someone else pointed out in the comments section, Minnie Mouse’s pet cat Figaro co-exists with Mickey’s nemesis Black Pete who’s a giant cat that walks upright, talks, etc. Same as Horace Horsecollar is a humanoid horse even though Goofy has ridden a horse in one of his cartoons.

I wondered those very things Joe

Joe is taking after Ruthie on words. I feel bad for the teacher.

What do Mr. Spock and TP have in common?

You can’t be Ceres. these are comics y’know.

Wait until he hears the question about Uranus
