I MUST get around to watching my Warner Archives copy of that, sometime soon. I took a quick peek at the ‘80s style H-B animation, and an equally quick listen at Daws Butler’s “late-in-career” voicing, and decided that I’d best save the experience for a time when I’m feeling more generous in my personal ratings. <br /><br />I DO understand that it was quite good for the time, though. …And I STILL would have called it <i>“Huckleberry Hound in: The Good, the Bad, and the HUCK-ly”</i>! <br /><br />And, while (King) Scrooge WOULD indeed approve of avoiding a costly Warner Archive purchase <i>(Glad I got mine during one of their special “Five-for-Fifty” promotions, or some similar discount that required you to order ‘em by the bunch!)</i>, he would also not approve of the outrageous cable fees required to see Boomerang at all. <br /><br />…Oh, wait. According to Don Rosa, Duckburg and Scrooge exist in the 1950s! <i>…What’s “cable”?</i>Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-16598608212191600472014-07-18T15:33:42.361-04:002014-07-18T15:33:42.361-04:00Off topic here, but I just noticed The Good, the ...Off topic here, but I just noticed <i> The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound</i> (often mentioned on this blog) is airing on Boomerang this coming Sunday at 3/2 PM Eastern/Central time. <br /><br />And who would approve more of avoiding a purchase of a copy from Warner Archives, than Scrooge McDuck? (hmm, guess not so off topic after all).top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-33409174931602228192014-07-17T17:44:35.908-04:002014-07-17T17:44:35.908-04:00Adel:

My first thought was <i>“King Scrooge”</i>, and that he’s <i>“…king around here”</i>, and <i>“…here’s Adel, to tell you why!”</i>.<br /><br />That’s why the post title was <i>King Scrooge the First</i> – NOT in quotes, because I was not referring to the story title, but to Scrooge as “king”. Subtle, eh? <br /><br />Then, I recalled the name of the villain and had momentary second thoughts – but realized that, while Khan <i>came across</i> as a villain, he REALLY WASN’T. He actually had a certain air of “nobility” about him. Despite his outward methods, he simply didn’t want to exist in a world no longer his own. I’d imagine if I outlived comic books, DVDs, and Blogging, I might possibly feel the same way! :-) Khan was an outstanding creation by Barks, out of what I feel is an unjustly underrated period of his work. <br /><br />We have a nice little community of Bloggers and Commenters here, and I’m happy to further integrate you into it!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-12919757378199883042014-07-17T17:39:11.912-04:002014-07-17T17:39:11.912-04:00TC:

Clicking "Name/URL" allows you to post using a name (or nickname) of your choice, and the URL is optional. <br /><br />On some blogs, "Anonymous" comments tend to get lost, maybe because Blogger assumes they are spam or trolling.TCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-69479738923853111822014-07-17T15:58:36.894-04:002014-07-17T15:58:36.894-04:00Thanks a LOAD for the blog “plug”!

It is very well done plug.<br /><br />Was it a conscientious decision of using the cover of US #71 to introducing my blog post, because it is ironical that the antagonist of “King Scrooge The First” shares the same last name.<br /><br />Now, I can relate to you with the joys of receiving a comment, and replying to it!<br />It definitely is the catalyst for posting regularly. <br />Adel Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134843745865355475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-51917863551406516152014-07-17T12:23:57.066-04:002014-07-17T12:23:57.066-04:00Elaine:

Any advice? Meanwhile, I saved my comment as a Word doc so I wouldn't lose it.Elainenoreply@blogger.com
