I suspect the latter, but can't really prove it.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903259867091385318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-71246899194624048122015-07-02T14:26:25.281-07:002015-07-02T14:26:25.281-07:00Thanks David Gerstein!

I think the fact that most of my Disney comics reading has come courtesy of Fantagraphics' elaborate collections, I'm sort of trained to expect to know where and when various stories are from, and feel out of sorts when I don't.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again!Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-8806857206706263772015-07-02T11:13:17.745-07:002015-07-02T11:13:17.745-07:00That's my main problem with Jurgens and Giffen...That's my main problem with Jurgens and Giffen. They can still deliver decent jokes, but an equal amount are dated. Sort of like vaguely knowing you've heard it before, or a variation. Either in a comic from a decade ago or a sitcom from two decades ago.<br /><br />I can't read JL3001 because of this. In the case of Jurgens, he handles it better, and I loved the Booster Gold series from the mid-00s. He really reigned in the BG we saw in the late-80s JL. But he still can follow in Giffen's steps.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-75075406548627739502015-07-02T02:31:41.728-07:002015-07-02T02:31:41.728-07:00In Mickey Mouse:

You're not the only person to ask.)<br /><br />Ellsworth is still Goofy's and Mickey's pet despite wearing clothes, talking, and being fairly humanized—the more you read, the more you'll get it. (There's a method to our madness, and a very good reason to reintroduce Ellsworth now; just wait and see!)<br /><br />David Gerstein, Archival Editorramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.com
