Hello /co/, Since, earlier this month, Steamboat Wilie was finally released into the public domain, I thought sharing this would be appropriate. To give you a little context: This story was released in the Lustiges Taschenbuch #267 ("funny pocket book", a monthly German collection of European Disney comics), the very last issue released in the last millenium. Written by Francesco Artibani and Tito Faraci and drawn by Corrado Mastantuono, it is a sequel/love letter to the original Steamboat Willie cartoon, and one of my favorite Italian Disney comics for a number of reasons. Firstly, it has a certain sentimental or nostalgic vibe, and is one of the funnier Italian comics. Also, the way it's told and composed makes it very cinematic. I totally could see this getting adapted into an animated short. I translated this from the German version. I took a few minor liberties here and there, but tried to keep the overall dialogue intact as best as I could. Now, without further ado, I present you "The Currents of Time", a fun river adventure, in which Mickey Mouse and Peg-Leg Pete raise the famous Steamboat Willie.
