on its face it's wearing your confused expression where your eyes don't go
So now that school's out, I'm continuing to watch my way through DuckTales (awoo-oo). I somehow managed to leave off last time right before one of the few episodes I actually got to watch as a kid--and, coincidentally, the one that creeped me out on a number of levels. Why? Why. That singing isn't something that I forgot so much as let snuggle down in the folds of my grey matter as a damp, uncomfortable association to certain words like "siren", "Odyssey", "undulation", "eldritch", and "pants-wetting". Always a pleasant surprise before breakfast.
Anyway, in conjunction with having had a nightmare about one of the old-school Mickey Mouse comics the night before (there were these monkey scientists and death rays and...oh, never mind, you had to be there), it reminded me of one of the more bizarre Uncle Scrooge comics I found last fall. Carl Barks never shied away from the unusual and we love him for it, it's true, but this one is really uncomfortably close to Uncanny Valley territory. Now that I know how to convert CDisplay files into JPEGs, I figured it'd be well worth the minimal effort to bring you this rather offbeat offering, just for the halibutand also to recruit some more people into this fandom oh God I'm so lonely. Enjoy.
(Note: Despite the tags, I did not actually scan this. Credit for that goes to some kind anonymous Internet-goer. You know who you are, and we thank you for it.)
(Additional note: Have I mentioned lately how much I want to see Magica DeSpell in a Kingdom Hearts game? Oh God, that would rock so hardcore. So hardcore.)
( The Many Faces of Magica DeSpell )
Next up: Catching up on journals, then brushing the dust off my Screencap Adventure. Until then, peace out.
ETA: *WHEEZE* *WHEEZE* *WHEEEEEEEEEEEEZE*
OH MY GAAAAAAAWD :D :D :D
