Wacky Dance
February
is synonymous with Valentine’s Day, so I thought something cutesy was in
order. In terms of cartoon characters,
Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are among the most famous in the world – and everyone
knows that Mickey’s girl is Minnie and Donald’s girl is Daisy. Visually, something like that below is what
people expect…
Aw,
aren’t they really cute couples. So
imagine, if you will, picking up a copy of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #676
and seeing the following…
I don’t
know about you, but this was enough to shatter my perceptions of reality. Donald’s response was perfectly in tune with
the reader’s. Watching his gal saunter
away in the arms of another man, er, mouse could drive anyone loony and cause
people to do strange things – like start a website called
Comicbooktidbits. Yet we must wonder (by
we, I mean the 2 people who visit the site), what would Donald’s response be?
Wow,
okay. When did I stop reading a Disney
comic and start watching “Melrose Place”?
Now then, if you think things are strange now, wait a bit…
Now
obviously Goofy’s been drugged, just look at the tell-tale glassy, hypnotic
eyes and tiny stars twinkling above his forehead. A classic case of substance abuse. It also explains why he always acts so, well,
goofy. But wait, things get stranger
still for our tragic hero Donald...
You
know, I could try and come up with something witty here, but the above panel
really speaks for itself. All I can say
is, man, that must have been some party!
In this
particular issue of WDCS, Mickey also got some unexpected help from a princess
while trying to impersonate his double, Yekcim Mouse. What do you suppose Minnie would think if she
saw the following panel?
Who
says Disney characters don’t know how to party!
Until
next time
