Jack Benny's Maxwell, and other things

[DAVID.A.GERSTEIN]

      Dear Folks,

      Wilmer Rivers pointed out that the "Mixwell" comment in OS 147 
is in relation to Jack Benny's old roadster.  DARN!  Why didn't I 
think of that?  ;-)  You're not the only fellow to liken Jack Benny's 
radio persona to Uncle Scrooge either -- I've thought of that 
similarity before.  Jack Benny reruns are on a radio station near my 
United States home on Saturdays, and my Dad and I enjoy listening to 
them.  Gangster:  "Your money or your life!"  Jack Benny:  "I'm 
thinking!  I'm thinking!"

      My reply to Dwight Decker wasn't meant to go to the entire 
list, so my apologies if it seemed completely irrelevant for a lot of 
you!  (Especially YOU, Don...)

      The more I think about Ellsworth, the less I think I'll 
probably be using him.  He's just too much like the way I like to 
characterize Mickey, and his bizarre status in the Mouseton 
community makes things very confusing.  I'm not ruling out using him, 
though -- just saying that as of now, I can't think of any ideas for 
him where I don't end up thinking, "That's a Mickey idea."  Well, 
okay.  Mickey can't fly (although he briefly DOES, in "The Great 
Orphanage Robbery" -- on sandwich boards!  ;-)

      Best to all of you,
      David Gerstein
