<DIV><EM>As far as for what type of Mickey stories I prefer, I must say that
I<BR>like the "new" Mickey stories that have more involved
science<BR>fiction/fantasy than Murry type stories. Of course, there does
need<BR>to be a balance and not only to have fantasy stories or
detective<BR>stories. Also, how about stories that are *neither* detective
or<BR>SF/fantasy stories? I am biased in this though as I have never
cared<BR>for Murry mouse stories. Until we have gotten these new stores
from<BR>Europe, I never much liked Mouse stories at all except
for<BR>Gottfredson's. When I was a kid and read Disney comics I often
did<BR>not even read the Murry mouse stories. At least to me they
seemed<BR>like "cookie cutter" stories -- always the same basic plot
and<BR>execution of the plot. They reminded me of Scooby Doo cartoons
in<BR>that the story almost always seemed to follow a set path. I do
not<BR>like Scooby Doo either and yet realize these cartoons are
hugely<BR>popular so obviously different people like different kinds of
stories.</EM></DIV>

<DIV>But, there is a middle ground between the McGreal-fantasy stories and the
Murry-detective stories--namely, the adventure stories of FLOYD GOTTFREDSON!
