DISNEY BUYS MARVEL

Speaking of evil corporations (see previous posting), The Walt Disney Company is purchasing Marvel Comics for 4.1 billion dollars. I had the impression that the ol' comic book company was doing very well, especially with their film division. (Admittedly I haven't heard a lot, lately.)

Great, now we can see Spiderman take on Donald. It would make a great film; Spiderman Meets the Duck. Sounds like what happened when Universal Studios started making light fun of their 'horror' characters -- in 1948 they released the comedy picture Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

There is concern, to be sure. Look what they did with the RCMP "Mounties". Ahh, what did they do?
