Quote from user: WBThe Big Fall/A Phantom Blot Bedtime Story - Nordling/DeStefano
Fer gosh sakes! I know Lee Nordling somewhat, and have talked to him off and on over the years. Yet I never knew he wrote Disney comic book stories! I always thought his Disney experience was in animation, licensed merchandise and such.

Just when you think you know a guy.... ;)

I love the stories about the Bad club with Midas Wolf and the stories about the Big Bad Wolf, I don't know if they're in other Donald Ducks as well, but they are really funny. I So Love them. Midas is one of my fav. disney figures, but ofcouse where would we be without Donald...

Nobody cares?
I'm as big a Zeke Wolf fan as anyone's ever been, I think! I've spent decades trying to catch the p?? I mean, find all the good Big Bad Wolf stories for my collection. But I'm still finding "new" goodies all the time.

Nefarious is from the Mickey and the Slueth sub-series, right?
I have to be honest, I could barely tolerate much of those stories when Gladstone II reprinted a few, myself. To be frank, Mickey is not needed or useful in them. He's really only there to be a rather dull straight man and, if you think about it, any character in the Disney pantheon could have played the role of Watson in those stories since there is no need for a specific character archetype. Sadly, it's Mickey at his most wooden and bland. :(
Personally, I have always found Shamrock Bones to be a much more interesting Sherlock Holmes parody than the Slueth, but with any story from the Gold Key/Dell era that largely depends on the story he's used in as there are some really good and really bad ones.
As much as I can't get myself enthused (at all) about the MatS sub-series, Nefarious and his goons DO make the stories worth looking at as they're more interesting and flamboyant than the lead characters combined. Unfortunately, even if he is a decent villain in his own right, it's a shame he wasn't in any stories set in the main canon where he could be something of an actual threat-and-or-foil to what is IMO the better parody character. Odd situation that Professor Nefarious... :)

Hey if you remember the DUck Tales series pretty intimately, in the episode Dr Jeckyll and Mr. McDuck do you think the guy with the cape in that episode coould he be considered a really 'loose' translation of Prof. Nef?
ALbeit he looks like a considerably more dark version of him, if that makes sense not just in the outfit but his personlaity, too.

I find that true in several series too, sometimes some of the one-shot characters can make the whole episode and you end up sort of wishing they would've used them more.
IE: Channcellor Trample from Tale Spin from the 'Road to Macademia' episoe,
Daring Dan Dawson from Tale Spin's 'Stormy Weather' episode,
Sewernose De Bergerac from Chip 'n Dale RR the 'Case of Stage Blight' one
I'm sure I could think of tons more but it's probably sorta OT

In the case of Prof Nef it woulda been nice to see him on his own so to speak, how he might've acted, or handled things differently without the goons :)

Quote from user: Roger NorthSadly Professor Nefarious was only created for the Mickey and the Slueth stories. He considers the Slueth to be his primary adversary. He doesn't give a hoot about Mickey despite the fact that the Slueth can't solve mysteries without him. Yes it would have been nice if other characters from The Mickey Mouse Universe showed up once in a while but that's not how these stories were written unfortunately.
yeah that's why I wish liek crazy that I could draw I have a very small talent for writing but drawing most definitely not :)

'cause then I could remedy that situation that you speak of about the char's, if I could draw...

and yeah, he doens't seem to care about Mickey at all, only interacting at all pretty much if he's forced to.

The Incredibles ?? probably the most intense of all these movies. A very entertaining movie with an interesting comment on society.

You can believe that Scrooge and Grandma are siblings if you want to but I choose to believe what Don Rosa says.
