Death in Disney comics

DANIEL:
>What about animals being killed?

There was some discussion about deaths in Disney comics on the Finnish  
comics newsgroup. Tommi Perkola collected those we came up with.

Here are examples from the page: (Italian)
In "Paperino e il misterioso Mister Moster" (I TL  108-A) Mister Moster's 
laboratory blows up while he's inside.

In "Paperino e il vaso rosso dei Ming" (I TL 1015-A) Scrooge-pirate forces 
one of his Beagle Boy crew members to jump to a sea full of sharks.

In "Topolino e i fantasmi neri" (I TL 466-B) two of Clarabelle's uncles have 
an accident with a helicopter and die. This happens in an episode drawn by 
Perego (otherwise the story is drawn by Carpi) so I don't know if the scene 
is in the original publications.

In "Paperino e la leggenda dello Scozzese Volante" (I TL  174-A) the Angus 
McDuck (or his ghost) leaves this world. Well, he died at some stage anyway.

In "Topolino e la spada di ghiaccio" (I TL 1411-B, the Ice Sword story) the 
bad guy gets it at the end.

Then two animal deaths:
In "Paperino e l'isola delle scimmie afflitte" (I TL 190-A) two monkeys eat 
gunpowder and jump on ducks' boat and explode.

In "Zio Paperone e il trapianto della pituitaria" (I TL 811-A) a dog is 
killed. It doesn't happen during the story but in the text it says that the 
criminals killed it during their last attack. BTW. This is a very weird 
story: US gets somekind of allergy for gold and he gets new nose mucous from 
the dead dog.
