MICKEY MOUSE #3 (Legacy Number #333 - funny how that works out, eh?) from Fantagraphics, concluding the "Ripples In Time" / Rhyming Man and Uma adventure, is OUT as of March 18, 2026.
We are (finally) IN our new house and the literal construction dust is finally beginning to settle (...mostly onto the floors and furniture - necessitating more and more clean up) but, at last, we can begin discussing both - or any topic of your choice once again.
Hopefully, more MICKEY than HOUSE... just to keep me from more sobbing!
Congratulations, Joe! It's been a long haul for you I know!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Scarecrow!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been (as you say) a long, bitter, and unexpectedly troubling haul – and we’re nowhere near out of it yet – but the mere fact that you can leave this very welcome comment, and that I can reply to it, shows significant progress!
Now, everyone go read the conclusion of Mickey Mouse “Ripples in Time” and let’s dissect it right here! :-)
It’s got some flaws that become more pronounced seeing it now in print, but I still think its great! Reading it brought me back to when I first read such sci-fi oriented stories as Cecil Beard and Paul Murry’s “The Strange Case of Professor Zero” - much less one of my all-time faves “Trapped in Time” - and, of course the more contemporary thrill of reading Casty!
And, oh my goodness, I’ve just turned in a long script where Scrooge meets Duckburg’s version of H.P. Lovecraft – which, admittedly required its share of research on my part! Don’t know where, or when, it’ll appear but I’m looking way forward to seeing that one on the printed page!
