The Mickey Mouse daily comic strip debuted on January 13th, 1930. It debuted in the newspaper "New York Daily Mirror". This was a tabloid Hearst newspaper.
If you're interested in seeing this paper - your local library should have an 'Interlibrary Loan' program. You're able to request items from other libraries. You can look at them and peruse the items at the library only, (these are usually special items that can't be taken out of the library - like newspaper microfilm reels for instance).
I actually ordered microfilm reels from the NY Public Library for this specific paper and for this specific date in time. My library has a very good computer scanner set up and this is used for saving pictures or images from the microfilm reel itself. I have most of the pages from the first two days of the strip and the advertisements announcing the strips from the original paper. January 13th and 14th, 1930.
If you're interested in actually seeing the images and pages give me an email and I'll send them to you - they're great!
