I've seen this piece of art floating around and I don't know where it comes from (if you know please tell me) but I think it's from some type of promotional piece from Disney.

But can we just talk about it... like...

It's so interesting seeing characters from the comics be done in what seems like the official Disney art style. That barely happens from what I know.

I mean we have Trudy (my queen 👑), a very creepy Detective Casey, Gladstone, Fethry (I love his hat 💕), Gladstone, and Brigitta.

Though oddly enough Pete seems to lean more into the comics style with his eyes which feels out of place.

But that's not all we also have Gyro Gearloose, Little Helper, Gus Goose, and Grandma Duck (though she was in an actual Disney short with Donald)

AND THEN... we have John D. Rockerduck (No Lusky though), Chief O'Hara, Doctor Einmug, Magica (I hope that's not the number 1 dime in her hands), and...

LAUNCHPAD???????

DUCKWORTH???????

Those are Ducktales characters. Not from the comics??? What are they doing here? In fact is the Gyro from the comics or from Ducktales???

This is just so weird. I didn't expect to see characters from the Disney duckverse comics, mouseverse comics, and Ducktales TV show in a single piece of art that seems to be official.

What is this???

What is this for???

Bi-Babes - Tubbs & Crockett

Miami Herald 1984

[daniwib]

Eddie chose their bachelor party outfits

Buck explains that it was an 80’s themed party and that he was dressed as Crocket and Eddie as Tubbs, then Eddie corrects him and says HE is Crockett and Buck is Tubbs.

We all know Buck’s pop culture knowledge is lacking and the fact that he got their character names mixed up and Eddie corrects him tells me that Eddie chose them. Why is this interesting?

Because Crocket and Tubbs are the guys from Miami Vice. If you don’t know it we’ll forgive you since it aired from 1984 – 1989, before a lot of you were probably born or old enough to be watching it. Before either Buck or Eddie were born too, by the way (and Christ don’t I feel old since I was in high school when it ended).

So, Eddie choosing to go as Sonny Crockett is FASCINATING to me. Quoting heavily from this article:

“Sonny struggles with depression, gets attached easily and just as easily hurt and makes dad jokes. Sonny is prickly, vulnerable, and deeply sad. I would also argue that he’s pretty heavily queercoded, and I don’t think it’s entirely unintentional.”

Sound somewhat familiar at all?

Interestingly, the penultimate episode of season 1 is titled Evan. Why is that interesting, you ask? As this article says, “Oh, you know, it’s then the moment Sonny’s possible bisexuality starts to seem like an intentional implication rather than an accident of incautious scripting”…

There’s a lot more to Miami Vice of course, and my memory of it is filtered through 30 years of life so it’s not perfect. You can find out more for yourselves if you want. I just find it very interesting that it’s Eddie who went as Crockett instead of Buck.

Interesting and exciting when we view it through the lens of Buddie possibly going canon in the future.

Why did you choose to be Crockett, Eddie? What is your subconscious telling you that you aren’t ready to hear yet Mr Diaz ‘who freaked out that your girlfriend was a Catholic nun’, hmmm?

I wonder…
