Disney characters

[Mark Semich]

David Gerstein writes about Gladstone:

> However, they DID insist that Goofy be redrawn from a 1937 Goofy (as he

> that the 1930s Goof wasn't compatible with the 1950s Ducks.

Argh!  I recently wrote a letter to Gladstone about this, but someone else  
should point out to them that although the Duck's "Golden age" is probably  
the 1950's, the best era for the mouse characters is the 1930's!  I don't  
think there's any incompatibility in having a 1930's Goof with 1950's  
ducks at all - it's merely showing the definitive (and best!) forms of all  
the characters involved...  They mentioned this same things in the latest  
letter column in D&M - something about "Paul Murray creating the  
definitive Mickey" or something like that "decades after Barks created the  
definitive Ducks."  Given this mistake on their part, no wonder they are  
incapable of publishing good Mouse stories!
