That's right!  Thanks.  Being here in Shanghai with all my comics in
California I'm basically without any resources except the web!  Now I
recall that story and Buck indeed was not a scientist, but just a rancher
and friend of Mickey's who took on the homeless dinos after Wagstaff was
defeated.  I remember the first time I read the initial story I enjoyed it
so much I had hoped there would be a sequel!  And then there was.  And now
you say there will be more of Wagstaff and Calhoun in the future? That's
great!  I like the idea of "Mickey Mouse meets Jurassic Park" (but in a
nice way;-)  Just as I'd love to see the villain Wiley Wildbeest again
someday.

Hmmmm. Interesting, since Germany's Ehapa website lists him among the
"Duck" characters rather than the "Mickey" ones where Arizona Goof is
listed.
No worries, but at least now I know where he comes from.  I know I have
some Arizona Goof comics at home so maybe he appears in one of them and
I'll figure out his other name then.

Thanks,

Rich
