It's ok to show dead pirates in a zombie walk and a character perishing in a lava flow, but not to show a drunken dog?!?!<br />That's right up there with not showing fleas on the Beagle Boys.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-39438698313579346632011-01-24T16:36:18.119-05:002011-01-24T16:36:18.119-05:00Yeah, fair enough.

Honestly, it’s been going on since the days of Gold Key reprints, and – if you consider the 1950s Paul Murry re-drawings of certain Gottfredsonian Phantom Blot death traps – a lot longer than that! <br /><br />Every publisher along the way has done this to one extent or another, with material from Barks, Rosa, Gottfredson, and even Murry. It’s just the sort of thing we will have to live with – and it’s far better than not getting the material at all! <br /><br />Joe. <br /><br />PS: I’m very glad to finally see the return of a comic book with the title of “MICKEY MOUSE”!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-88613811076373107792011-01-23T01:45:27.826-05:002011-01-23T01:45:27.826-05:00More Bowdlerization? That's unfortunate. Wit...More Bowdlerization? That's unfortunate. With this and the business you noted earlier in "Luck of the North," I'm feeling distinctly glad that Boom! aren't the ones handling the Barks and Gottfredson collections.GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.com
