I think there might have been one or two stories where they were just a crime syndicate, but in most stories which use the "gigantic worldwide Beagle Boys web" they very much are family.

I wonder how the "You're busted!" pun worked in other languages? <br /><br />Also, I like the Beagle-mask-type outline of the robot's eyes. <br /><br />I think there are loads of stories written for Christmastime issues where the story's connection to the season is tenuous at best. (Hey, the jewels are hidden in a china *Santa*! Of course it's a Christmas story!) At least this one has both the Beagles-as-shakedown-Santas and the giant-robot-as-Christmas-tree.

There is some stuff like Feathry episode, Three Caballeros episode or Bubba Duck episode (which in my opinion actualy make that character wokr thanks to few interesting modification) I would love to hear your thoghts. The Darkwing Duck episode is especialy atention worthy and I think you would genuainly loved that one. <br />Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040860912155201940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-92155116581811543272019-12-11T17:52:01.026-05:002019-12-11T17:52:01.026-05:00Heh.

Te opening dialog remind Me of a fan-parody story I once wrote (must draw it one day) which starts with Glomgold telling Bealges their plans <br />Beagle 1 (whispers) – He said this will be his BEST PLAN YET!<br />Beagle 2 (making face like he is totally mind-blown by possibilities) – Wooooooaaaa….<br /><br />Any way… I do find the stories like this tad confusing when they make Beagle Boys a corporation… So is the idea it’s an organization that’s only hire people who all look alike, have the same personality and have criminals aspirations? I like when they are simply bunch of brothers (or at least cousins) like the Daltons from Lucky Luke series. Here from what I see they wanted to have it both ways and it doesn’t quite work…<br /><br />I do think however the concept of them having one mother (MA BEAGLE) works in the Duck Tales universe where the laws are clearly tad more cartoonish as far how much antromorphic the animals are and if DUCK lay eggs in Ducktales world then Ma Beagle being a bitch is would normally give birth to 8 to 12 puppies at a time. If she hopefully didn’t eat few I can easily find the size of her family plausible. Of course this means there are some age gaps between the Beagles brothers here.<br /><br />I like the line about Beagle family having thing about “Scrooges” funny. Makes you wonder why they didn’t use the robot attack the Money Bin, felt like this would be their number one target after they make some practice looting. <br /><br /><br />FINALLY – Last year we talk that you may try to review “Mickey Once Upon a Christmas”, “Mickey Twice Upon a Christmas” and “Mickey Mouse : Duck the Halls” [tempting voice] The last two have Scroooooge [/tempting voice] The Duck Tales had a pretty fun Christmas special as well ;)<br /><br />Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040860912155201940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-6395708003618926642019-12-11T16:42:43.327-05:002019-12-11T16:42:43.327-05:00(By the way, are you still planning to review Seas...(By the way, are you still planning to review Season 2 of <i>DuckTales 2017</i> on <i>Duck Cartoons Revue</i>?

In fact, for that same reason, it doesn't even fit into the continuity established by <i>Vic Lockman</i> for the Beagle Boys in their solo title. They too had the Theme Beagles, which was all the fun of giant Beagle Boy family gatherings like this one. <br /><br />I also don't think Ma Beagle is supposed to be the mother of <i>all</i> the worldwide Beagles, even in <i>DuckTales</i>. (<i>DuckTales 2017</i> may be another thing entirely, but as you yourself have said, it's not like its Beagle Boys have much of anything to do with the comics-Beagles.)Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.com
