Because in World War II, the threat of chemical attacks was real - but the standard gas masks were bulky, dark, and terrifying, especially for children. So, in fear that kids would resist putting them on during a gas attack, the U.S. redesigned the mask to look like a cartoon. It had a shiny rubber nose, big white eye rims, and a rounded shape inspired by Mickey Mouse - which helped calm children when the mask had to be used.
