P. S. Where does Disney publish reprints of Asterix?
P. P. S. Marsupilami is a European comic strip character
who has become a cult favorite across the ocean. I don't know much
about him: since he's a funny character who doesn't indulge in
bloody, brutal fights no one's thought to introduce him to the U. S.
market in the past. He DOES make a cameo appearance in one Asterix,
since his author apparently knew Goscinny and Uderzo: in "Asterix and
the Cauldron," at the bazaar-sale scene, someone is selling "Comix"
(sic) printed on slabs of stone which feature Marsupilami (who is
shown on a billboard).
P. P. P. S. Marsu gets his own Sat. AM show next fall. I
don't know what's going to happen to "Raw Toonage." He'll also appear
in _Disney Adventures_ soon allegedly, although I don't follow that,
so I can't be overtly clear. However, the story of him being printed
there is not European, but done by Larry Mayer! #@%?!@
Gladstone could presumably take advantage of Disney's
Marsupilami license to give us the REAL character in a trial
publication or something. Who else supports this? (He could also
presumably show up in WDC&S, but he isn't one of the classic Disney
characters... then again, neither is Pooh, no matter how much some
people try to make him into one.)
