<DIV>>>>>I have been in France on holiday & whilst browsing
through Disney comics, came across a mouse charactyer that appeared to</DIV>
<DIV>>>>>be call Michael. He looked like a cross between Mickey
& mortimer & wears Mickey - type red shorts. Can anyone tell
me</DIV>
<DIV>>>>>who he is?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pity Gilles hasn't been here for a while, he was
more an expert on that than I am.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michel Souris started a few years ago as an extreme
version of a fan of Mickey, who wanted to emulate his hero and even take
his place. It seems he evolved a bit; instead of a (semi?)villain (which
he appeared to me to be), he is part of Mickey's crowd, while retainging
his extreme fanboyishness.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I find the idea interesting, but never much liked
the stories I read-- I especially dislike the art, which looks pretty
weird.</FONT></DIV>

France, both human &</DIV>
<DIV>>>>>animal. Is thera website or book that givesd any info
about any of these these?</DIV>
