Fooled you - there's no singing or dancing in this thread at all! :)
However - there is plenty of YUCK.
We've covered the best of the spectrum list wise, so there's only one thing left: what do you think are some of the WORST Disney comics you have ever come across? Like ones where - after you've read it - your only reaction could be "What the holy heck were they thinking?"
List which ones you think are the worst and why.
For me it would have to be anything with the modern characters produced under the Marvel imprint. Now the Disney produced stories and those produced in Disney Adventures (before it started to tank) were not ALL bad. Many were just as fun as I remember them being. There were a few clunkers, some really good stuff, and not much at all that could ever hope to reach classic status but - at their worst - they were arguably no worse off than some of the random varying filler characters of yesteryear (Scamp, Chip and Dale, Lil Hiawatha, Brer Rabbit, Lil Bad Wolf) we've had in Comics and Stories for years. You have your winners, your losers, and your "what the hecks?".
Then there was the Marvel stuff.
Marvel produced 4 books: Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and "The Disney Afternoon" which consisted of new stories from Ducktales to the Timon & Pumbaa years. And every last one of them was utterly HORRIBLE. The artwork was atrocious, the coloring was terribly off (in many stories, Darkwing Duck's beak was the color of wood), and the stories were dumbed down so badly that many of the scripts barely even made sense. I seem to recall one story where the Rescue Rangers were practically human size. It was an utter disgrace. In their letter columns, Marvel themselves seemed to have no idea what the heck they were doing. The books imploded on themselves way less gracefully than Disney ever did and what we wound up with was "Disney Comics Hits" - a terrible anthology book that was just as bad if not worse and concluded with an adaptation of "102 Dalmations".
I'd argue that the entire experiment was on par if not worse than much of latter Gold Key/Whitman era.
The only good things to come out of Marvel was the adaptation of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (produced long before they'd gotten the license to do more work) which was actually beautifully drawn and faithfully adapted by Daan Jippes and Dan Spiegle.
So what is some of the worst Disney material you've ever seen? Come on, don't hold back. :)

LOL! I remember reading "Robot Army"in Disney's WDC&S run and thinking to myself - of all the serials that haven't seen print in years, why in heavens name did they reprint this?!?! Stan Walsh is a terrible artist. In many panels Goofy in particular looked as if he was on drunk and ready to stumble about muttering swears to himself. :)
He also had this thing about drawing all his characters with one eye half closed and this weird expression on their faces that made them all look like creepy ice cream men at a kindergarten schoolyard. XD

I think that "The Wuzzles" was the worst Disney comic story series. I also never liked "Scamp" and Chip 'N Dale. As far as individual stories, "Southern Hospitality was a poor one. There was lots of poor art, to my taste in the squarish Ducks in the 1960s (other than Carl Barks), was some of the worst.
