I remember Ma Crackshell actually undid her hair curlers and put on real clothes the one time Fenton stood up to her - even if it was to take her to the movies with Gandra. Fenton's maturity happens in baby steps.<br />The episode where she developed psychic powers revealed that she didn't really care if she was kidnapped or used - just so long as she could watch her shows on tv. <br /><br />I believe Gladstone/Gemstone were respectable enough - the comics that came out during the 90's stand out better than Marvel/DC/Image offerings. I never see any of THEIR comics in the 50-cent/quarter bins!<br /><br />I've been reading Aaron's posts on that link - quite an eye-opener! I think SEEING Bulba take down FOWL would've been a more interesting arc than the Duckuthulu/Election stuff - at least it would've cut down on the number of giant monsters.<br /><br />Hilarious that BOOM would think Gemstone was aiming at older readers, yet have no idea what Darkwing Duck was and think that Mickey Mouse was the right horse to bet on.Comicbookrehabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363501054869978524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756369649414088624.post-54497965208600856062011-11-15T20:59:30.680-05:002011-11-15T20:59:30.680-05:00Hey, Anonymous, do you mind me asking...why the an...Hey, Anonymous, do you mind me asking...why the anonymity?<br /><br />And...oh, yeah, you're righ -- I never noticed! Gee, thanks!

I would've attributed it to Gemstone and Gladstone each striving to be respectable! ;)<br /><br /><i>I enjoyed the banter between Scrooge and Darkwing best [...] It was neat how Ian portrayed the two characters as an even match.</i><br /><br />Yeah, there were some moments that were close to being on the mark or that strongly hinted at the clash of wills I an was going for...but awkward, off-"soudning" dialogue was not infrequent... <br /><br /><i>anyone who played the Ducktales video game HAD to enjoy seeing the pogo-cane action one last time</i><br /><br />Oh, jeez...I SO would have never caught that...you darn kids keep your newfangled fancy-schmancy vidyuh games outa my comics! :P (That's not too far off from how I actually feel...the irony being that I was born in 1981...!)<br /><br /><i>The continuity flubs - Ma Crackshell - the t.v. demands too much attention to really remember stuff like that.</i><br /><br />I didn't realize at first that you meant that Ma had forgotten her son was Gizmoduck because the constant boob tube viewing had finally fried her brain!
