This is interesting, since, at least I think so, there are a lot of black people in France as well. In Germany they stayed black as well.Huweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605254873308883631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-7806047645531388782018-04-17T21:57:49.375-04:002018-04-17T21:57:49.375-04:00I really liked the contemplative nature of this bo...I really liked the contemplative nature of this book. It gives it almost a literary feel to it that we seldom see in Disney comics. Mickey Mouse and most of his friends (except maybe Donald) seem less like cartoon archetypes and more like real people in this story. This book really should have gotten more attention than it did.Debbie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648307522331962265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-55819667370874468852018-04-17T06:54:24.952-04:002018-04-17T06:54:24.952-04:00While I woudn't named "shy" as Minni...While I woudn't named "shy" as Minnie's key trades she is usualy play up as very tender, delicate and sensitive (and for lack of better term "girly") in more modern tv cartoons like "House of Mouse"/"Mickey Mouse works","The Three musketeers", "Minnie's Bowtique", "Mickey and the Roadster racers" or even to over-the-top efect in the cool "Mickey Mouse" shorts - usualy as contrast to Daisy's whos's often presented as big-ego, atentnion-seaking, self-absorbe and tad ditzy/zany annoying best friend... when she's not yelling at Donald of course ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22S7pchs_kI cute Daisy/Minnie short btw)<br /><br />So I guess it's fits. Haven't read this book yet btw but it look interesting. I did like "Café Zombo" by Regis Loisel which is made in simial vain and "Mickey Craziest Adventures" even if I'll admit I was hoping they will make much, much more with the concept...Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-53853035120309738382018-04-17T06:51:42.302-04:002018-04-17T06:51:42.302-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-49363688748881636772018-04-16T17:58:56.830-04:002018-04-16T17:58:56.830-04:00I didn't know it was "Mickey by Glenat,&q...I didn't know it was "Mickey by Glenat," but in that case an obvious companion series suggests itself. <br /><br />Interesting business about Minnie and Mickey being perpetually engaged in French.

Another neat reference.<br /><br />About the engagement: well, yeah, you're supposed to assume they're engaged in every other appearance. Possibly because French editors were iffy with the idea of perpetual boyfriend/girlfriend "romances" among adults that never ended in lawful marriage, both Donald and Daisy and Mickey and Minnie are referred to as each other's fiancé in the French translations where the originals just say "boyfriend" and "girlfriend". No doubt this is what Cosey remembered and wanted to explain.<br /><br />Minnie being shy — umm… now that you mention it, it <i>doesn't</i> appear much in the comics, does it? But it certainly seems consistent with how she often acts in the old cartoons. I don't have any particular example in mind, I just remember a lot of blushing and mincing and flustering from her in the way she was animated.Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.com
