Secondary characters

[Sigvald Grøsfjeld jr.]

Hi all!

Last Saturday (September 26th), the local news paper, Stavanger Aftenblad
had an interesting Disney-related article in its magazine "Stavanger
Aftenblad Puls". This article presented some of the Secondary characters in
the Disney's comics universes, as they are known in Norway from "Donald Duck
& Co". The article is written by a friend of mine that I studied together
with for one year in the late 1980's.

These characters were mentioned:

The favourites:
---------------
1) Magica de Spell
2) Gladstone gander
3) The Phantom Blot
4) Black Pete
5) Gyro Gearloose
6) Idgit the Midget (mentioned without Dangerous Dan McBoo.)
7) Fethry Duck
8) Super Goof
9) Flintheart Glomgold
10) Shief O'Hara

The "hate" characters
---------------
1) Little "Bad" Wolf
2) Horace Horsecollar (presented as a mysterious cow who is quit possibly in
love with Clarabelle Cow.)
3) Hiawatha

------------------------------

What do you think about this?

My personal opinion is:
a) Fethry Duck should be replaced by a character like Glittering Goldie,
John D. Rockerduck, José Carioca or even with Arpin Luséne.
b) Idgit the Midghet should have been mentioned together with his companion
Dangerous Dan McBoo.
c) Horace Horsecollar should be swapped with Eega Beeva.
d) Horace Horsecollar is a horse, not a cow.

The last comment leads to a new question. Do anyone here know for sure if
Horace Horsecollar is in love with Clarabelle Cow despite the fact that they
are of different species (horse and cow)?

And by the way, what is the correct definition "secondary characters"?
