comicsalliance: ‘Mickey Mouse’ Editor David Gerstein On Bringing Floyd Gottfredson’s Classic Strips To A Modern Audience By Chris Sims One of my favorite comics of the past year hasn’t really been from the past year at all. The new hardcovers from Fantagraphics of Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse strips from the 1930s — which took this year’s Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection — have been an incredible read. Gottfredson is unquestionably a master, and the adventures he crafted for Mickey often put his contemporaries to shame with their thrills, wit and tight plotting.But bringing those strips for a modern audience isn’t without its challenges, whether it’s presenting Mickey himself as an adventure hero rather than just a comedic funny animal, or in dealing with some of the insensitive racial caricatures that were part and parcel of comics of the time. To find out more, I spoke to editor David Gerstein about his approach to the classic Mickey Mouse strips, as an editor and as a fan. Read more.

‘Mickey Mouse’ Editor David Gerstein On Bringing Floyd Gottfredson’s Classic Strips To A Modern Audience

By Chris Sims

One of my favorite comics of the past year hasn’t really been from the past year at all. The new hardcovers from Fantagraphics of Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse strips from the 1930s — which took this year’s Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection — have been an incredible read.

But bringing those strips for a modern audience isn’t without its challenges, whether it’s presenting Mickey himself as an adventure hero rather than just a comedic funny animal, or in dealing with some of the insensitive racial caricatures that were part and parcel of comics of the time. To find out more, I spoke to editor David Gerstein about his approach to the classic Mickey Mouse strips, as an editor and as a fan.

The Teaclub plot

Hello fellow humans and other creatures,

I have finally have the plot for the comic that I am making. The working title of the comic is “The teaclub”, it is about a ‘typical’ English teahouse and the whatnots that it require. This teahouse is a little diffrent than the others and that is, because it holds a secret that the authorities shouldn’t know about…..

It will take awhile before the first part will be online and everything, but still I hope I all got you curious about it. Let me know what you think?
