"Go to mushroom"? I don't understand what you mean. What is it you are calling a "mushroom"?
>>>>>What do you know and think about the charachter Phantom Duck (Paperinik)?
When new folks ask me questions, I hope they've read over the past discussions on this thread so we don't need to discuss the same matters twice and bore people. I know this has become a LONG thread (longest on the site?), so that's asking a lot. But it's better that the questioner puts in the effort rather than us covering the same ground twice.
I mention that because (unless I'm wrong?) we've discussed this matter here before. Paperinik is one of the many, many Italian characters never seen in any American comics. I know what the character looks like, and a bit about his background, but I have never read any of his many stories, so I can't offer an opinion.
I can only say that I feel unfairly biased *against* such a character, even if he's good, due to the EXTREME overabundance of super-heroes in American comics... I mean, to the point where there IS nothing else in American funnel-vision comics. So to have DD become a super-hero just doesn't seem like something I'd be pleased to see. But that's due to a fault of the terrible situation in American comics, not due to any fault of Paperinik.
>>>>>In Nobody's Business, Gladstone Gander is founder/owner of Gladstone... Isn't he?
Well... yes, but that was a joke just for American publication. That story's ending doesn't make sense when published in any other country. But when I did that story (my second), I still did not yet know that any of my stories would ever be seen outside of an American Gladstone edition, much less that I'd soon be working for Europe.
