So I saw this set of panels on Twitter a while ago and I thought it was interesting...

Here they have Donald wanting to stay out of direct conflict and get the police involved, while Mickey wants to solve it themselves.

But then I thought about the Topolino story "Grosso guaio a Paperopoli" where it was the other way around. In that story Mickey was the rule follower who wanted to get the police involved as soon as possible, while Donald (as the Duck Avenger) was the one who wanted to directly solve it himself.

I just think it is interesting how both characters are shown to act a different way depending on the story and yet they don't feel overly out of character in each one. I guess the big difference is the situations surrounding them.

In the panels on top this is likely average civilian Mickey with average civilian Donald and Mickey has been more of a courageous adventure-seeker compared to Donald. But in the Topolino comics, Mickey works with the police a lot while Donald is a superhero, so Donald is used to handling crime himself, while Mickey has always worked along with the police.

I dunno, just thought this was interesting.

What's blowing on in… Duckburg

This Ziche affected me so greatly I had to post it alone. Poor Gladstone. Also look at Fethry in the background... he's such a cutie I almost fainted.

Duck Comic Reading Club Week 7: Paperinik New Adventures: Earthquake

Ok, let's get to the point, this issue is the best one yet. An amazing story and a gorgeous art combined.

Oh God, the art. The Francesco Guerrini work here is astonishing. The use of the colors is masterful. Brilliant in every aspect.

This week story start with an earthquake on Duckburg. No major disaster occurred, except for good old uncle Scrooge.

Why do you insurance your oil rig with your own insurance company?

I mean, I got that he didn't have to pay himself the quota for the service, but now you have to pay for the damages. So, stop complaining you crazy old bird.

But One found out something fishy about the earthquakes, and is up to Donald to investigate this. Is so funny that Duckburg is Paperopoli in italian. Is better than Patolandia tho.

PK took one of the many vehicles at the Tower, and went for a ride, super hero style.

This page is a piece of beauty.

We got a new character, Mary Ann Flagstarr, a PBI agent. Tough lady.

PK had had encounters with the police, but now, he faced federal agents. My boy is not making any friends.

But, you know? A vigilante, a superhero, can't work with the authority. So, yeah, go get them PK.

Another new character, Professor Morgan Fairfax. What a nice fella, I'm sure he has never done anything wrong in his life.

One knows something is not right, they need to keep investigating. But now, is time to go back to the world of cyber space.

Another beautiful page, this issue can't miss.

But is hard to step into a federal database without anyone noticing, so they got caught. Thankfully, One was one step ahead and got himself a great scapegoat.

Oh, now you don't like spread misinformation, right jerk?

He didn't face any charge, and, to be fair, he was innocent. But, if being ugly was a crime, he would get the chair.

Back to the Professor, and he's making some really evil looking smirks. Could it be that he's not the nice guy that we though?

Also, another banger page.

PK infiltrates in the building, using some advance tech. One is a cheat code, and here's being used at his fullness.

PK had a weird Donald moment, when he stuck in the vent, fall to the ground, and got face to face with the worst security guard ever.

Hey, masked vigilante sneaked in this government facility that I supposed to be looking after. I'm gonna make some lame jokes, and then I'm gonna miss the shots less than a meter away.

Don't come in the morning pal.

You know? I'm starting to think that this guy Fairfax is not that nice.

Yeah, yeah, he's the bad guy. Trying to burn PK alive is in my Being Bad Bingo.

And yet another absolutely gorgeous page. Is amazing.

Thankfully, One and his infinite tech come to the rescue. PK also save the guard, because he's a hero.

Now, this one part was kinda weird. Agent Flagstarr has been shown trough the issue as tough, focus agent, that wants to get the job done. But, a few words of Fairfax and a gift are enough to make her dismiss orders.

Also, that face… you can't trust someone with that face…

Now we found about Fairfax plan. He wants to create a earthquake strong enough that the whole planet would change, and new land would appear.

At the cost of the entire west coast being destroyed.

The worst part? One agrees with him. What the hell man? Not cool One, not cool.

PK got in the plane and try to stop Fairfax, but Flagstarr was in his way. The agent was conflicted on what to do. Madam, help the guy who doesn't want to destroy the whole west coast. Is not that hard.

Man, the art on this issue is out of control.

PK is so cool.

Finally, One got a change of heart, if you can said that, and helped PK to stop this madness. I knew One wasn't a psychopath.

But that last image of the device at the bottom of the sea is quite unsettling.

What can I said? This was awesome. I love all the detective PK stuff, the danger was palpable, One almost got Duckburg destroy. The art was magnificent, the colors were vibrant, it looked beautiful in general.

Hands down, the best one yet.

Tantissimi Auguri Paperino!

Oggi per celebrare il suo compleanno ho deciso di realizzare questo disegno a mano! Era da tantisismo che non disegnavo i personaggi di Paperopoli!

Io adoro le persone che si impegnano nell'attivismo e per migliorare sto geoide roteante nello spazio, però rischio l'aneurisma ogni volta che mi spunta un video di ecoinfluencer(che già mal sopporto gli influencer normali,che vivono praticamente di marchette e sono tabelloni pubblicitari ambulanti) che dice 8 cose giustissime e sacrosante seguite da 2 delle cose più slegate dal mondo esistenti.

È giusto sensibilizzare e migliorare uno stile di vita che fa cagare(il nostro) perché basato su consumo infinito e compulsivo,ma addirittura colpevolizzare il prendere un aereo per viaggiare(come ho visto fare nei commenti sotto) perché inquina, piuttosto che fare la guerra alle 6/7 multicorporazioni che schiavizzano e controllano tutto nel mercato agroalimentare mi pare vivere a paperopoli,davvero.

Salvini non sarebbe ministro neppure a Paperopoli.

Con tutte queste storie che spiegano cose che potevano anche non essere spiegate (e in alcuni casi sarebbe stato meglio), perché non una storia che faccia luce sulla bizzarra questione delle leggi mai abrogate del Calisota? Un espediente usato centinaia di volte per la qualunque. Chissà cosa farebbe un burocrate neo-assunto che si trova di fronte a questa mole di legislazioni obsolete. Cercherebbe di farle abrogare? E se tutta Paperopoli si scoprisse reggersi su quest'intricata tela di caos giudiziario?

[pollicinor]

Paperopoli, invece, è una metropoli: capitale dello stato del Calisota, con oltre un milione trecentomila abitanti, ed è il doppio di di Topolinia. La sua urbanistica e la sua geografia sono rispettate in maniera scrupolosissima, grazie a una ricerca metodica ed estenuante partita dal 1947 dopo la creazione di Paperon De' Paperoni da parte di Carl Barks. Intorno alla sua figura, la città è prosperata in riflesso alle sue ricchezze. I quartieri di Paperopoli sono delineati e disposti in maniera spaziosa e ordinata portando la città ad assumere le sembianze di una San Francisco con il becco e i piedi palmati. Il deposito con la sua piscina di monete d'oro è un punto di riferimento, intorno al quale si diramano i saliscendi della città.
