<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry to see the classic size comic books go,
particularrly that of Mickey which was never part of the Gladstone II
line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps the most overlooked Disney Comics
by fans and collectors are the b/w gag-a-day daily newspaper strips of
Mickey and Donald. For decades these were read by many thousands of parents
on their commuter train trips, and by kids that grabed the newspaper as soon as
it was delivered at home. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With Gemstone mentioning the possibility of b/w
publications, the daily strips would be ideal for this media. They should be
easily photoed and resized to fit about any format, do not require colorization,
and would be at home on newspaper print paper. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With the lack of time for everbody, many
people are not inclined to start reading a comic story. However, if the
means to get a quick snatch of humor and then put the book down were available,
this type of publication should have a wide audience.</FONT></DIV>
