The Beagle Boys #37
Walt Disney’s The Beagle Boys #37, published by Gold Key in 1977. This issue does not feature any skateboarding stories or illustrations outside of another sales club advertisement with a Huffy 24″ Action Tail that you can earn as a prize for selling stuff, thus ending the mystery of what boards were in those illustrations, thanks to the plate-of-shrimp lattice of coincidence and my current lack of freelance work.
Donald Duck Lapel Pin
From the revered line of Disney Lapel pins… I’m not sure what the date is on this, but I’m pretty sure it’s a decade or so old. The pins they are doing now are more elaborate and bigger than this Donald Duck pin.
Who’s Goofy?
I’m combining two goofy posts into one, featuring Goofy and Mike V. Who you calling goofy? I’m certainly not calling you goofy, Mr Vallely, Sir. What we have here are two items that are only marginally related at best, because they both feature the Disney character known as Goofy. There’s a glutton of Goofy products with skateboards, only one of which I’ve featured here before. I’ve got others on deck though. (I slay myself…) On the left, original artwork and press proofs for an 80’s era Aladin lunchbox featuring Goofy and the gang at a skatepark. On the right, someone auctioned off Mike V’s season pass to Disneyland.
Econo Mi-Skate
If Scrooge McDuck is so rich, how come he can only afford a half a skateboard? Piscou is what they call Scrooge McDuck in France. It would be like calling him Tightwad over here.
Friday T&A on S&A: Disney Orgy
By the time this post goes live, the limited edition Disney Paul Krassner & Wally Wood will undoubtedly be sold out or otherwise no longer available from Boom Art, $340 or not. The content aside, the overall package is really well done. This is the way to, uhm… do it. The Disneyland Memorial Orgy illustration is not a tip to 90’s era skate graphics copyright steamrolling, but was originally drawn in 1967 and published in what the hippies called an underground comic. OOPS! Thought I had scheduled this for Friday!
Pad rot smell free with purchase
This is one of those crappy little cinch-style backpacks sold at the online equivalent of one of those stores at the mall that’s filled with 100% character goods, Hello Kitty and the like. I think Donald Duck is going to eat it. Bonus shot of Mickey Mouse in a full on stinkbug style frontside air after the jump.
Disney is shreddin’ up California
This is a recent postcard my son got from his grandmother. By the looks of that Cooper style hockey helmet that Mickey Mouse is wearing it could have been from the 70’s but Donald is sporting a bicycle-style helmet and then there is the web address printed on the back. Somebody call the Department of Child Services, Donald’s nephews aren’t wearing helmets! Mickey is rockin’ som e of those new kingpin-less trucks. In Bizarro World there’s some sort of Californian American anti-defimation league that is upset by the stereotype this postcard perpetuates.
Vintage Goofy skateboarder
Goofy has a history of appearing on skateboards. In Extremely Goofy Movie, Goofy’s son goes to college and enters the “College X Games.” It doesn’t seem that absurd now, actually. Goofy misses his son so much that he goes to college too, and ends up skating for the evil frat boy team against his son. There’s also a toy Goofy figure on a skateboard that was made a few years ago. The shot above is a toy that may date as far back as 1977. It’s from an expired eBay auction, but becasue I love you, and have a problem, you can look at more shots after the jump.
