Odds Bodkins, methinks Mickey Mouse?

Thanks again for checking up on that, Don.  Only a week ago I thought 
that phrase was just a modern concoction intended to sound Medieval.  I had 
no idea it was authentic!   (No doubt about it, I have to get a better 
dictionary!)

I am still in the dark, however, as to which comic book I saw that used 
in.  For some reason, I still picture some charater in Medieval garb 
saying that to either Mickey or Goofy.  Since no one else seems to recall 
this, however, I guess I'll just have to start re-reading all those MM 
stories until if find it.  This may take a while... :)
