I think the point is *supposed* to be that Pilgrim Andy couldn't bear to use the axe on the turkey, so Pilgrim Woody is resigned to eating hot dogs.

But it's drawn so badly that yeah, it looks like Andy isn't sure which bird to execute. Many love the art of Dell's NY team, but... it's really messy.

World War II Mickey comics had Pete working as a spy for the Germans, as an easy way of setting up Mickey to kick some Nazi butt.

• been the guy accidentally undercutting *others* by passing my *own* dated info. Sorry, team

Felix's top strip character began as his friendly rival in a handful of stories—and this cartoon (among others, but it's the only one I could quickly find online).

Normie reviewers had seen fan scanlations floating around and—with everyone describing our line as “IDW’s Disney reprints,” even though they really weren’t—simply barely reviewed the series, agreeing among themselves that it had been published here before (false).
I’d never seen anything like it!
