I have a much worse feeling... this piece of info (including
the confirmed ban), together with the news about a complete
"restyling" of our poor rodent announced recently by some upper
echelon at Disney, make me think that what we could read between
the lines would rather sound like...

"Guys, just forget about seeing Gottfredson's classic mouse
reprinted in english language ever again..."

Gary, am I being pessimistic or just plain realistic ?

That was once upon a time in the land of plenty...
but the fable has been over for quite a while now.


Cheers!
