I'd say he was very active in the development of the character...<br /><br />Psorry you dislike Eega Beeva. You're the first Gottfredson pfan I know who didn't like Eega (and one Eega story, "The Atombrella," takes my vote for the scariest Mickey story ever, which certainly puts it high on the adventure scale too!)ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-14244411215319219402009-12-31T03:59:27.482-08:002009-12-31T03:59:27.482-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-33944473476975772942009-12-15T22:38:51.569-08:002009-12-15T22:38:51.569-08:00Yeah, from what I read he was pretty uninvolved in...Yeah, from what I read he was pretty uninvolved in the shaping of the character or the stories. He even said he liked the cntinuites better than the later gag-a-day situation and I agree. But what an artist! And although the stories were a bit more adventureous in the early forties and I intensly dislike Eega Beeva, this story is pretty weird and it makes for some great designs, including a couple of space monsters to come...Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-71655656473962003422009-12-15T14:57:11.388-08:002009-12-15T14:57:11.388-08:00Over at TadBlog, there's some truly classic wo...Over at <a href="http://thadkomorowski.com/" rel="nofollow">TadBlog</a>, there's some truly classic work by Gottfredson (<a href="http://thadkomorowski.com/2009/12/02/mm-joins-the-foreign-legion-1/" rel="nofollow">pt 1</a> & <a href="http://thadkomorowski.com/2009/12/11/mm-joins-the-foreign-legion-2/" rel="nofollow">pt 2</a>, with more to come). Personally I greatly prefer the Mickey Mouse of the earlier period. I doubt that Gottfredson was given much say in the evolution of the character's appearance nor in what sorts of events were considered unacceptable.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-82780344499683177172009-12-15T10:51:45.374-08:002009-12-15T10:51:45.374-08:00Great.
