I also ...I agree that the two doctors look similar. I also had to check out "The Incredible Black Comet". I can't remember noticing the use of Statics name (and the first name Cosmo) when reading that story. But yeah, the scientist in that story looks a lot like Static!<br /><br />I also noticed that the logo now used on IDW's Mickey Mouse covers was used for the American print of "The Incredible Black Comet".<br />Hexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244652285314152842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941025762488585925.post-21484977214619424972016-02-07T11:45:11.734-08:002016-02-07T11:45:11.734-08:00Valentine's Day comes fairly *early* in Februa...Valentine's Day comes fairly *early* in February. We put "romantic" content in the January issues so they'd have some time to sell before Valentine's Day itself actually hit.<br /><br />As translator, I called the doctor Proctor because his physical appearance (if not outfit) was quite similar to the later Gottfredson character—to a point where I'm not sure another name would have felt appropriate. <br />(Compare with an even better example: Scarpa's "The Incredible Black Comet," in which Mickey's inventor friend was a deadringer for the later Doc Static in looks, costume and personality—when I called this character Static, Static's own creator Cèsar Ferioli agreed with my decision.)ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.com
