In all fairness, though, Brigitta herself often seems pretty stalker-ish to me as well.<br /><br />It DOES seem bizarre that Gladstone I didn't print "Coat of Harms" back in the day, seeing as they seemed to be using every Jippes/Milton story they could get their hands on. I surmise that the reason is that it doesn't star Donald: they were basically using these stories in WDC in place of Barks ten-pagers, and I imagine they didn't want to mess with the format. Plus, a lead story starring a GIRL?!? Quelle horreur!GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-74446333383514318212011-03-30T07:31:10.705-04:002011-03-30T07:31:10.705-04:00David,
