In this month's Super Picsou Géant (#114), a fun surprise :
D 2000-022 : "Les Revenants de 'l'Entêté"
In this story, Mouseton celebrates its bicentennial, and shows
in a museum the steamboat from "Steamboat Willie".
And this boat is haunted by the black and white Mickey from the
cartoon "steamboat willie", and is in fact called "Mikiki", and
he is the comics' Mickey's great-great-uncle.
I love this theory to explain the dificulties to consider Mickey
Mouse as one single character, because of the gap which exists between
the early cartoons and todays' comics. That makes it so difficult to
consider him as a normal guy with a normal life, (like Dinald Duck), we're
obliged to see him as an untemporal character, and we can't see a continuity...
It's very easier to build Donald's family tree than Mickey's. Another
story refering to Steamboat willie was :
I TL 2243-1A : "Topolino e il fiume del tempo"
In this one, both Mickeys were considered the same characetr, and Mickey and
Pete return on Steamboat Willie...
another source where I remember a confrontation between today's Mickey and
Steamboat Willie's Mickey is the videogame "Mickey Mania"...
