Any Horace fans?
It’s too bad that the 90s cartoon he was supposed to be featured in never happened.

Too bad indeed, but we've seen him since then. Here's a nice pic (painting by Floyd Gottfredson for the story Race for Riches)

Funny thing, you have a horse on a horse.

Beautiful! And I thought the same. Horse on a horse.

Last night, I read through some old Gold Key DONALD DUCK comics from the late 1970s, which I had last seen when I was a young child, not even old enough to have learned to read yet.
While I will not go so far as to say the stories were sophisticated or aimed at adults, I *was* surprised by how the writing and storytelling would have gone WAY over the head of my childhood self. I don't think I would have had enough reading acumen to understand what was going on with the dialogue until I was at least seven years old (I probably had just turned five when I first saw that comic), and as for the story details (particularly pertaining to Scrooge McDuck's finances), I don't think I would have fully known what was going on until I was a young adult in high school. These comics were aimed at kids, but I think the writing was way above the level of kids' heads.
Also, Donald's voice was so articulate in the comics that I have a hard time imagining him quacking all that dialogue out in the animated features. :)

Not to mention his lack of pants!

I love the layout on this page. You can tell Barks did layouts for the cartoons!
I've looked through a couple of those Uncle Scrooge books at B&N and am amazed at the care and detail given to the art considering I just thought of them as funny animal books for small children first learning how to read.
I guess I have that stigma that all Gold Key/Dell and their Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and Harvey Comics Caspar and Richie Rich and even Marvel's Star line of comics from the 80's were disposable kiddie junk
The Complete Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck The Deluxe Edition has come up.

Been thinking of trading my collection of 117 books for a particular grail but this is the crown jewel in my collection. Donald Duck is my favorite cartoon character of all time. Getting a book this old and in this good condition makes it a unique treasure for me. 18 years later this comic book will be 100 years old.
The rest of my collection makes up modern keys (ASM 300, Batman 423, Batman Adventures 12).
