Teaming of Mickey and Goofy

[Frank Bubacz]

Thanks, Olivier and Luca (in private mail). So now I know that I better read 
all of Luca's articles first, before I annoy the dcml with questions that 
already had "official" answers. ;-)

However, both of you weren't sure about this question:

>>>Did the teaming happen accidentally, i.e. Gottfredson wasn't allowed to 
>>>use Donald anymore (as in
>>>Editor-In-Grief and others), because DD got his own strip?

Of course, as Luca told me, MM and GO had already been teamed together as 
early as 'The Crazy Crime Wave' (1933), but my theory is that DD would have 
been included in that story, if he had been created by then. Later on he of 
course appeared in four (?) Gottfredson episodes, and the debate is still 
open if Gottfredson & Co. weren't supposed to use Donald anymore or if they 
didn't WANT to use him anymore, because they had already fallen in love with 
the MM/GO duo.
