My Bed Sheet


Awe-inspiring, aren't they?
   The sheet on my bed, the last thing I see of the day, is pretty dawgin'. As you can see, it is covered in Disney characters. I don't know much about the sheet in question, but from the tag I can tell this much: it is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend, manufactured by a company by the name of Pacific, which just might refer to Pacific Fabrics & Crafts, though to the extent of my knowledge that company only makes fabrics, and doesn't sew them into bed sheets on their own. This is really all I can tell about it, seeing as how the rest of the tag is all frayed...
This is why they tell everyone but the customer not to cut these things off. Because they've got important information on them. What should happen is, the customer does cut off the tag, then archives it in a safe place so that they never lose care instructions.
   Presumably, it was made after 1973, when Robin Hood came out (a property that the sheet maker seems to love, as fully 20% of the bed sheet, or four out of the twenty individual frames on it, depict the characters therein, second only to Alice in Wonderland characters, which has 30%, or 6 out of 20, of the frames, after that, Bambi has three of twenty of the frames, or 15% of the sheet. The rest of it is covered with non film-specific Disney properties: the Ducks, the Mouses (with dog,) and apparently Chip the 'munk.) What year after 1973 is not clear, as all the copyright says is WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS, with no year. But, anyway, that's not the point. The real point of this is, the characters seem to be aware of the characters in neighboring frames:


 

   And yet...





Whoa, Robin. Bow Safety 101. Really, I can expect this kind of crap from Skippy there, but you?
