Mickey, you believe Morty and Ferdie must have met Gyro and Grandma at
some get-together, although Barks never showed this in a story. Why
can't you believe Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse live in the same city --
even though Barks never showed this in a story?!

The Danish weekly just ran a subseries written by Per Hedman and Pat &
Carol McGreal. A few years ago Andreas Pihl wrote a Donald/Mickey/Goofy
team-up for the pocket books. Other writers include Dave Rawson and
Byron Erickson. And that's only in Denmark -- I could find (recent and
not-so-recent) examples from Italy, Brazil and the US, too.
