Disney-comics digest #236.

[Gary Leach]

TO ALL: 

After a grueling two weeks trying to wrestle Mighty Morphin Power Rangers two 
falls out of three (which is where the time we would have spent on WDCiC is 
going, and far more profitably), I am back (ta da!).

It seems everyone has said just about everything concerning Disney's latest 
shenanigans, so there's not much to add other than we believed (as we once 
knew, back in the original Gladstone days) we could launch a new Disney title 
without having to get clearance from Disney. We made the mistake of attempting
this while one of our more reliable and levelheaded contacts at Disney was 
indisposed, and the temporary replacement saw we were doing a new title and 
panicked. The fragile bailiwick was shaken, so the cry went out to "Stop 
Gladstone! Stop Gladstone at any cost! Don't let them do anything we don't 
understand!" Or reactions to that effect. Guess the company's in a tizzy over 
EuroDisney or something. Anyway, it does appear we could have timed our move 
better (John had originally proposed only a special Donald Duck 60th 
anniversary one-shot, which is pretty much what it's going to be after all).

Jack Kirby is dead...long live the King!

In the next installment of Lo$, we're gonna color all of the ducks chartreuse!
Completely! So get your copies early!

Gad, I'm gettin' punchy again...all for now.
