Andy Mouse 1 (Littmann P. 64) by Keith Haring depicts a hybrid character that fuses Andy Warhol with Mickey Mouse combining Haring’s personal friendship with Andy Warhol and his love of cartoons.

Set against a field of scattered dollar bills, the print presents celebrity, authorship, and commercial culture whilst retaining a playful, light-hearted tone rooted in Haring’s early interest in cartoons.

The work is built around the central figure, rendered in Haring’s characteristic black outline against a saturated red background. Oversized mouse ears and tinted sunglasses establish the fusion immediately, while the body is simplified into flat areas of colour contained within bold contours. Below, a dense spread of banknotes fills the lower register, their repeated forms creating a patterned base that anchors the figure within a field of accumulation.

Cartoons formed a key part of Haring’s upbringing, and his admiration for The Walt Disney Company and its characters runs throughout his work. In Andy Mouse, this influence is brought to the forefront, combining the visual clarity and accessibility of Disney animation with Warhol’s constructed public image.

Created in 1986, the print reflects a moment when both artists were operating at the centre of the New York art world, where image, authorship, and commerce were closely aligned. Haring translates this condition into a concise visual structure without losing the sense of play that underpins the work.
