The Quack Parade

 

I finally got my hands on Donald Duck: Vacation Parade , and it was worth the wait.



 Fréderic Brémaud and Federico Bertolucci have created a charming graphic novel that reads like a lost cartoon from the 1950s.


There aren't any words in this comic, but you can hear the sputtering and squawking.



The colors are gorgeous.


The story doesn't need words to flow from panel to panel, like storyboards for a lost classic short cartoon.  Your favorite character and mine, Humphrey Bear makes a triumphant return.


Chip and Dale are here also.


Vacation Parade is a truly all-ages comic.  Little kids who have trouble reading will have no problem following the story and laughing at the gags.  Mature sophisticates like us will enjoy the beautiful art and retro style.  Highly recommended, Disney Weirdness-approved.

That's All, Folks!

 

Well, that's it.  I can officially retire from comic book collecting, because I did it.  I FUCKIN DID IT:


I finally completed my set of  Air Pirates Funnies.

Yes, I know about Dan O'Neill's Comics and Stories, and the Tortoise and the Hare, and Dirty Duck, and the Air Pirates newspaper, but I don't care. Like Ash Katchum, I caught them all.  

Stay tuned for this blog's new focus:  Collecting Loungefly backpacks.
