    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.

    Default Something that surprised me while reading some DONALD DUCK comics from the 70s

    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.

    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
