Hey, you'll never believe this but they had a GMD comic in "Disney Adventures". Starring Olivia and Fidget, no less!
In the comic, a strange gilled mouse dubbed the "Sea Beast" is discovered and aired at the carnvel. Basil is unisterested, dissmissing the case as 'silly'. Olivia catches the flyer that Basil dropps and considers it while Dr. Dawson is arguing with Basil that 'such a mouse could exist'. She decides the only way to form an opinion about it is to see the 'sea beast' for herself. Calling Figdet, the two ride Toby to the carnval.
Livvie asks Fidget if he thinks the beast is real and the bat replieles that "I used to work at the carny myself, Livvy! Nothing's real but the caramel apples!" When Olivia says that some of the acts must be real, Fidget says he's got a bridge in London he can sell her, and explains the trick behind the Fire Eater (chemcials on breath), the Bearded Lady (glue), and the Floating Man (strings). (He looks fairly proud of knowing this)
Stopping in front of a large tank, the 'sea beast' groals at the pair as Fidget declares "Now THAT'S a SIDESHOW act!" Staring at in the mouse's eyes, Olivia seems unsure and answers if he says so. Two mice remark beside the tank that the creature's been a bad mood since they caught him. The beast smashs through the glass, and Fidget covers Olivia from harm. Beast grabs Fidget and climbs a tent growling and holding Fidget up ("Is this another stunt for the papers, bubby? Cuz you better PAY me if it is!"). Thinking fast, Olivia grabbs the bucket of fish-guts the mice were planning to feed the creature with and it's attention. The beast flings Fidget over his shoulder and chases the mousling across the fair to the dock, where Olivia throws the guts into the sea. The beast jumps in after the treat and swims away. She watches him swim away into the night. Figdet (having flown or otherwise saved himself) and Olivia then munch on caramel apples in the last panel where our bat remarks that the sea beast "better not show up again if he knows what's good for him!" while Livvy smiles and says "I'm sure he won't be back...he's- home."
Also, it appears there'll be more comics of these two super-slethes in future Disney Adventures! |
