The solicitation for the fourth and final issue of the "Gargoyles"/"Darkwing Duck" crossover has just come out, and reveals that [SPOILER] Demona will be unleashing Paddywhack on the world (or worlds, if the crossover takes the approach that the gargoyles and Darkwing live in separate worlds that are temporarily in contact with each other - which seems the best way of going about it). I had to look up who Paddywhack was, but found out that he'd appeared in the "Darkwing Duck" Boom! comics collected in "Darkwing Duck: the Definitely Dangerous Edition", which I've a copy of, and so looked through it for a refresher - finding out that in it, he merged with Negaduck, and which involved a battle with a lot of alternate Darkwings. (It was a particularly appropriate book to consult, by the way, because of Goliath's cameo-of-a-sort as Negaduck's perch - not to mention who wrote the introduction.) [/SPOILER]

I might add that, [SPOILER] looking back over my list of Shakespeare's plays and how they might fit into "Gargoyles", I'd thought at the time that "A Comedy of Errors" wasn't likely to get any allusions, after the production team's decisions to give Thailog different coloring from Goliath to avoid the "being mistaken for each other" concept. It turns out there were other ways to reference that play, after all.

We also got a mention of the Evil Queen in "Snow White", which feels particularly apt for a Disney project (actually, two Disney projects in a crossover), given that "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was one of Disney's landmark events. [/SPOILER]

Todd Jensen> Well and I did post such on any relevant articles, there was a short from Mickey Mouseworks "A Midsummer Nights Dream" with Goofy as Puck. Plus John Rhys-Davies as the voice of Oberon.

But going to the Disney Afternoon, you might have mentioned it before, but there is Much Ado About Scrooge from the 1987 DuckTales series which had Scrooge's ancestors the subject of the play by William Drakespeare. And an unflattering play at that.

Also, Disney Kids which has been uploading legal free videos of older and more recent older shows has DuckTales slowly added especially said episode:

I was going to post this bit regardless, but in the Darkwing Duck episode "Getting Antsy" when Mr. Mallard notices the fast foot restaurant Hamburger Hippo is small and present at Goofy Golf (The restaurant where Launchpad left his now smaller scarf at), beforr properly changing into DW, he declares this to be a job for William Drakespeare. And just before typing this did I notice the same exact naming from DuckTales.

In other Disney Afternoon news, Intrada Records (known for their releases of classic film scores) announced on their Facebook page that they will be releasing a two-CD set of the DuckTales original series score by Ron Jones. (Jones is best known for the score of Star Trek: TNG, yet another Star Trek connection for Disney TV Animation.) The set is due out 1/27, but doesn't seem to be up for presale yet. It would be nice if maybe Intrada would consider a release of Carl Johnson's Gargoyles score......

I hope the comment room's stable again; it seems to be under attack this evening. (Related to the two bot posts a while ago?)

We've just got a preview of the opening pages of the first issue of the "Gargoyles"/"Darkwing Duck" crossover:

I was particularly delighted to see [SPOILER] another brand new piece of Shakespeare; even a non-canon crossover with another Disney Afternoon property can't keep one out! [/SPOILER]

I backed the Kickstarter primarily due to the SLG trades (in addition to the size issue) not being...optimal in terms of print quality. My copies are literally falling apart, and I haven't exactly used them THAT heavily.

I don't especially care about the old Marvel run, but they'll be fun to own as a novelty and I've never actually read them. Honestly if TGC had come out on DVD, I would've probably bought it too just to support the property and have a feeling of "completeness" on my shelf, even if I never actually rewatched them.

I sprung for the signed-hardcover tier, so I expect I'll be among the last to receive my copies. But I'm greatly looking forward to when I do!

I got the email as well. Obviously, I too have all of the material already (including the Marvel ccomics), but I am most excited to finally read Clan-Building in full size (instead of digest size). Even the early issues that I have individual issues for in full size have been in storage for years, so reading through the SLG stuff is going to be fun, I think. Like watching it on the big screen. Ha.

CRAIG - Thanks. So I suppose the bots will continue to visit the place until/unless the operation (which I still suspect to be a phony business designed to separate people from their money) is closed down.

MATTHEW - I got an e-mail from Dynamite about the Kickstarters as well. I don't plan to purchase them (I already have the trade paperbacks of "Clan-Building" and "Bad Guys", and don't feel any need for the Marvel "Gargoyles" stories), but I'm glad to see they're going forward.

Todd > I'm no expert, but I suppose it would depend in part where the program was stored. All programs, even so-called virtual ones, still require physical servers somewhere. (One of the arguments against AI is how bad it may end up being for the environment, due to the massive data centers required.) I imagine that the bots would eventually be deleted if payments weren't continued for the server space. But if the program wasn't removed and was permitted to keep running indefinitely, then I imagine the bots could indeed turn into Nokkar.

jamesdixon: Welcome :--) I just checked and Hanna-Barbera Wiki is using 1.43, while MediaWiki's latest version is 1.45.1. So anything on MediaWiki should be pretty helpful.

https://hanna-barberawiki.com/wiki/Special:Version

At any rate, to adjust things similar to GargWiki, you'd need to go into the site's local settings.php (which is not an edit that can be casually done online). If you do not have access yourself, I would inquire with whoever does at Grifkuba.

This page from MediaWiki would help in that case: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access

Hope this helps!

Three posts in a row from a bot with the same signature - another definite sign that artificial intelligence is artificial.

(I've been wondering for a while, and hope that those who know more about this sort of thing than I am can answer that: if a phony business (I generally suspect that to be the source of these kinds of bot-posts) was shut down for fraud, could the bots it had created continue going about posting advertisements or links for that, almost in the manner of soldiers who don't realize that the war is over?)

Fifth.

Bringing up Roger Allers, artist, animator and co-director of The Lion King who passed away a couple days ago. Most of us raised on Disney can't understate how influential that movie was to us.

jamesdixon: I'm not with GargWiki, but assuming you're on MediaWiki, have you looked at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights for instructions? It comprehensively discusses permission settings and there are a couple of specific examples there of setting up a special group with edit rights.

Second.

Hi, look, I'm wondering if anybody from GargWiki can help me out? I'm running a Hanna-Barbera Wiki hosted by Grifkuba, and I know that GargWiki only lets people edit after approval, so I was wondering if you anyone there could tell me how that was implemented because I would really like that installed for us (although we're already talking about it on Discord, anyway, I just thought maybe someone can offer some insight).

Thank you.
