Editing Horace Horsecollar (section)

==In comics==
Horace first appeared in the [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip]] on April 3, 1930.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gottfredson |first1=Floyd |title=Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, vol 1: Race to Death Valley |date=2011 |publisher=Fantagraphics Books |location=Seattle, WA |isbn=9781606994412|page=22}}</ref> Horace has seldom been more than a [[supporting character]], though he has starred in numerous European comic book stories of his own. In these, he plays a much bigger role than elsewhere, accompanying Mickey on his adventures or acting as Clarabelle Cow's paramour and fiance. Clarabelle and Horace were engaged in the comics according to some 1931 and 1932 continuities, but neither ever followed through.

Some modern European-made stories with Horace as a star character were published in the United States by [[Gemstone Publishing|Gemstone]] from 2003–2008, including:

*"King of the Bungaloos" (''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' #635, 2003)
*"World's Greatest Horace" (WDC&S #641, 2004)
*"Horace's Secret Helper" (''Mickey Mouse'' #266, 2004)
*"Horace's Travails" (MM #268, 2004)
*"Driving Clarabelle Buggy" (WDC&S #651, 2004)
*"All Aboard the Blunder Bus" (WDC&S #652, 2005)
*"Blockheads" (WDC&S #656, 2005)
*"High Horace" (WDC&S #692, 2008)
*"'Tis Better to Give Than to Deceive" (''[[Christmas Parade]]'' #5, 2008)

Though produced in Denmark, these Horace stories were written by Americans: [[Stefan Petrucha]], Sarah Kinney, and [[Don Markstein]]. Horace is a very common co-star in modern Mickey comics by these writers.
