I just got a fantastic idea for a great new character! He name will be Burger and he will eating food all the time it will have a squicky voice and will be funny as hell and he piss of GeoX by share existance"<br />and then Carl Barks went "Boy, o boy! This is way more interensting that those boring smart clones Beagle Boys I created! Good job, have a cookie" <br /><br />...is pretty acurate :PPan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-75002244368407130402012-09-03T21:01:02.582-04:002012-09-03T21:01:02.582-04:00Don’t glom onto that “credit” so quickly, Pan!
A...Don’t glom onto that “credit” so quickly, Pan! <br /><br />An “excited Beagle Boy” does not “Burger Beagle” make! And, that’s all that is… An “excited Beagle Boy”! Food obsessions or weaknesses have nothing to do with that! <br /><br />If Burger has ANY inspirational ancestors, it would be the “Prune-Loving Beagle Boy” of Carl Barks’ “The Giant Robot Robbers” – and WE KNOW DTVA had a copy of THAT story, because they adapted it! So, I’d say that theory holds water – or “holds its lunch”, as it were! <br /><br />In fact, I think I’m going to “levy a fine on you against any future credit” for making me needlessly go to that link! You’re now in “credit arrears”, my friend! :-) It’s fun being “curmudgeonly”! <br /><br />And, Chris… What I don’t like about the episode is “…the alteration of Carl Barks’ “Gu” is too much of a departure for me in my less forgiving and more curmudgeonly days! It seems too much like “Interference for the Sake of Interference”!” (Forgive the repeating comment!) Why the foolish "girly stuff", over an ordinary dumb beast? <br /><br />I’m fining DTVA for that as well! Now, they’ll have to produce TWO GOOD NEW SERIES (…like THAT’LL happen! ), before I’ll praise them again!

"I should post this in the last review ...Pan,<br /><br />"I should post this in the last review since it would be more on the topic but do you think Burger Beagle desing was inspired by this panel in "Only Poor old man"?"<br /><br />I'd be more inclined to believe it if the design had been taken from a CLOSE UP panel. Here, "the camera" is far enough away that it's hard to conceive that WDTVA would have taken inspiration from such a small picture.<br /><br />Chris Chris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-86341559426027997602012-09-03T20:05:00.921-04:002012-09-03T20:05:00.921-04:00Joe,

I probably saw it once, but darned if I can remember when or where...<br /><br />"This is one of the episodes I look less favorably upon these days (vs THOSE days).

You write: “This Webby-focused commercial,...Chris:<br /><br />You write: “This Webby-focused commercial, by contrast, I have no clear recollection of seeing at all. I MUST have seen it at some point, but, if so, it was at most once.”<br /><br />Not so, per my recollections of those bygone days. And the proof is found in “Appendix B” of our now-legendary DuckTales Index “DuckTales Commercials”. It is the 4th one listed and called “Webby Focus”. <br /><br />It’s also where, at least for me (more so than the episode it came from), we immortalized the quote: “This adventure is just going to ruin my dress!” <br /><br />In response to a previous question of yours in another DT post: This is one of the episodes I look less favorably upon these days (vs .THOSE days). Despite some great “senics” (as Famous / Paramount used to call them), the wonderful members of the Explorers’ Club, and one of my favorite gags of the series “Lord Battmountain” casually tossed off in expository dialogue… the alteration of Carl Barks’ “Gu” is too much of a departure for me in my less forgiving and more curmudgeonly days! It seems too much like “Interference for the Sake of Interference”! <br /><br />…One can only wonder what BARKS must have felt! <br /><br />Joe.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
