I am thrilled that my comic-book adaptation was mentioned. I strove to be very faithful to the episode itself as that is what I felt viewers and fans would want. I agree about the "functional" nature of the art but, believe me, it is much better than some of the art that was used for some of the other Disney comic books stories I have written! Anyhow, as a fan of the DuckTales episode guide written by you and Joe Torcivia (I love your blog too, Joe!), I gladly say that I am very much a fan of these in-depth reviews too. Keep up the good work!

Good for them... <br /><br />The part when Mrs. Beakley starts crying while telling boys the story is a trully sad moment. And when the boys promise they will never get lost... Aaaawww... I'm also glad we got a Beakley-center episode with no Webby around. <br /><br /><br />I'm also happy I'm not the only one to notice Gladstone in the audiance :) I so wish they would use him a bit more on this show...<br /><br /><br />The next one "Duck to the Future" ey? Now that's an episode I find confusing as hell. Scrooge goes to the future and takes the future Magica to present... So aren't there two Magicas now? Also if Magica was ment to melt the dime (as she told in "Send in the clones" and "Dimes enough for luck") how the hell Scrooge simpy remove the dime from her medalion? And where Magica's raven go?<br />So many questions... :(Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.com
