Can anyone scan the page of Topolino, as it appears in Mickey and the Gang?

Does in Mickey in the Gang the strip be in Italian or in English?

Thanks,

It's in English, and it's in color. Julius is green for some reason. I can't give you a scan, but I can give you the text:

Mickey sings for Minnie's sake
An aria sweet as chcolate cake
While Minnie, poised in window, rests
And dreams of love's togetherness

But lo! The tryst is not to be!
A rival comes-and fierce is he!
Say Julius Cat,"By saints above!
Minnie is to be my love!"

Nonplussed Mickey leaves the yard.
Julius smirks,"That wasn't hard!"
Full of brass, inside and out,
He journeys forth, his love to shout.

To know our Mickey is to know
That he's one clever so-and-so.
He sees the tuba passing:"Man!
To fool that cat I have a plan!"

Our celebrated little Mouse
At circus stunts brings down the house.
An acrobatic jump and flight,
And he's wedged in the tuba tight.

With sugar in his no-good heart,
Julius Cat prepares to start
His wooing. He will music play
And romance Minnie come what may!

Julius blows a wicked rumba
But what's this? His opposite number
Sails skyward from the bell!
Julius starts to feel unwell.

Wondrous music greets the ear
And open arms of Minnie dear;
Followed by her favorite Mouse.
"Have a kiss, Toots, on the house!"

Mick holds his sweetie at his side,
Thumbs his nose and grins with priode.
"Hi there, Julius-bigwig cat!
Nice plan you had to beat me, that!"

Julius became green to distinguish him from Felix the Cat, for various reasons.
Here's what our version of the strip looked like:

I'd rather not have had to letter the strip in capital letters??but we only had room to reproduce it at a fairly small size, so the caps helped the words stay readable.

In a recent book by David Gerstein (2010), he said that Guastaveglia used Kat Nipp once, but this is the only
Disney Comics by Guastaveglia, why did you haven't called him Nipp and not Julius?
Furthermore, Julius is a good person, while Nipp is "the toughest guy in the country"...

This isn't Guasta's only Disney comic; simply the only one on Inducks (thus far).

Here, for example (borrowed from Luca Boschi via Renato Crociani's blog) is another of Guasta's Mickey strips; note the "Guasta" signature in the last panel. And in this strip Kat Nipp is unquestionably Kat Nipp, complete with his Gottfredson-style clothing and white feet. Guasta calls Nipp Maramao, so Mio Miao is obviously someone else.

Quote:Furthermore, Julius is a good person, while Nipp is "the toughest guy in the county"...
Well, Julius is good to Alice??but he's often mean to mice and rats!

I've always wanted to know what that issue is. Could you scan the Holland parts while you're busy?

I never heard of this Guasta person. Has that story been released in America?

"Guasta"'s real name is Guglielmo Guastaveglia, he is a comic drawer and he drew some Mickey's (unauthorized) strips in 1931 for the newspaper "Il Popolo di Roma".

On INDUCKS, it's indexed only his strip with Mio-Miao/Julius Cat, but he drew some others...

I've tried to color and translate in English for you the other story by "Guasta" I know...

Thanks for the info Sim.

And thanks for the story, Sim. It has an "ancient" charm.

I think to have done a good job with that story, but maybe, in third panel, it sounds better:

<< "This time caught I have you!"
Said Nipp who has arrived...
"You have really to do!"
Said Mickey terrofied! >>

However, thank you and remember, you're welcome! ;)
