I'll agree with Petri. About the goodness of Double Mystery and
about stories where almost anything can happen not being
automatically poor. The concept of Disney-comics itself drops
away a whole lot of realism so some more doesn't matter that
much.

However, the thing I don't like is dropping away the credibility.
(Right now I can't think of any example to give about this.)

I don't remember what I thought about Duckburg's location
as a kid. I might have thought it was in Finland before I read
I TL  800-A, I TL  801-A (Zio Paperone e il drakkar volante),
where Scrooge doesn't know where Oslo is (He does know
where Norway is since they "sell awfully lot of herring to
all countries" :-) ).

>Reading Rosa's stories I think Duckburg is in the USA, but when I

I, again, agree with Petri.
