Extra thanks to the ever-amazing @jongraywb who did a stellar translation/localization of our #AGoofyMovie adaptation for this book. I'll be back when it officially releases to tell more about its other salient features...

@choochoobear One more. My writer buddy, Joe Torcivia, and I enjoy marveling at how many Felix the Cat covers have his "pal" Skiddoo the mouse blatantly trying to kill him.
Joe likes giving them Itchy and Scratchy-like episode titles: this one became "Journey to the Bottom of Deceased."
@swagkirby778 @JimSoper4 @hbomax Actually, he was Elmer from the moment he started wearing the outfit (see image, from 1938).
But the outfit might be better defined as his "non-hunting gear": as such, it was seen routinely in the comics, well into the 1980s. Only forgotten now due to short cultural memory...
@azure_lor @jongraywb @DoKnowButchie For awhile around 1995, all of the Egmont writers were encouraged to incorporate Launchpad into ordinary Duck stories—including this very funny teamup with Donald, which landed in our American comics in 2005 (I had the fun of localizing it!). >
@jongraywb Lola's dad Walter is a VERY early comics character (originally the dad of Lola's antecedent Lula Belle). Somebody dug deep.
@HonuDan @jongraywb @allnewzbadnewz @fantagraphics THIS one is just days away, with lots of goodness from all four of us. (Not sure when it'll make it to comic shops given Diamond's shutdown, but Barnes and Noble is distributing it already.)
Albert Uderzo will be missed; at his peak, among the greatest cartoonists and storytellers I've ever known. His masterful works with René Goscinny taught child-me to speak truth to power. They also exuded a flawless slow-burn comedy like few stories in any medium. >
