Oh! I perfectly agree with this opinion of yours... I've been trying to
understand what I liked and what I didn't like in Mottura's art for a lot of
time, and I think that actually it was this simple. I used to say that I
think Mottura should do non-disney comics, now I see why :-)

There even was a contest on Topolino when the story was fisrt published...
"What's strange in this story?", and I didn't realize untile they explained
it some weeks later.
