Toma's comic-focused Disney birds sideblog! (20 - She/Her - Brazil - main blog - about) I have very little knowledge on Disney bird lore please bear with me. I share and translate stuff from the Zé Carioca comics sometimes!
Read the full comic here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/KnzM39W3ng1eRFqBA
Here’s part one of the highly anticipated new Gladstone and Magica-centric comic! Magica decides she wants to become lucky and Gladstone suddenly loses his luck…could it be just a coincidence? Read the comic to find out!
And here’s a link to Gladstone and the Solitude of the Four Leaf Clover: https://lettheladylead.tumblr.com/post/644029773409026048/gladstone-and-the-solitude-of-the-four-leaf-clover
On yet another bizarre day in Duckburg, Gladstone is alone and so desperate for companionship that he decides to hang out with the Beagle Boys (he doesn’t know their plans).
They abuse the hell out of his luck and score multiple successful robberies. Gladstone’s so into the hanging-out-with-ma-pals dream that he doesn’t even realize it. The Boys ultimately get busted and go to jail.
Gladstone visits them in jail.
And tells them he doesn’t hate them.
And brings a photo album filled with pictures to look at together and reminisce about their ‘trips’.
if anyone’s been looking for this comic, you can find it Here [link]! It’s in Greek in this version. And in case it gets deleted, on Inducks its “Gastone, i Bassotti e la fortuna invadente”!!
hello! i created this blog mainly to meet people and talk about disney comics, but i'd like to post some scans and scanlations from time to time too! please bear with my english, i know i can be understanded but it's somewhat difficult for me to write complex phrases.
today i bring you a josé carioca comic! it's a childhood favorite, i'm sorry for the rather distasteful mike tyson parody but i hope you can overlook it in favor of a fun and short story. enjoy!
(ah! i'm also willing to colaborate with scanlations, mainly with image editing. hit me up!!)
José Carioca - Tough Interview (Zé Carioca - Entrevista Forçada)
Can you tell me more about the anatomy of Maria Vaz and... and... why is so vastly different in the comics??!
This came out very long and with a lot of images
Okay so, Initially she had a really awful design in the american comics. I’d say she almost looks human if it wasn’t by the bird feet and the fact her dad is a bird.
That was her first appearence and it set “”””standarts””” i guess for her design.
I think the Human/Bird confusion was legit at the time too because when the brazilian comics started I’m pretty sure they pulled a Betty Boop and made her human (Also changed her name to Rosinha. idk why but they did. I guess they didn’t want her to be called Maria because it’s too much of a common name)
Then out of nowhere she started getting drawn with proportions that matched the other characters (kinda)? She still looked human-esque but it was an improvement????? or sorts??
(The right design almost has Jucika vibes, its ??cute? i think?)
I don’t have any theories forthe change in these, It might have been the ‘Código de ética’ thing, Wich was a code based on the Comics Code Authority? But yeah suddenly she looked normal-ish.
And then they finally decided to make her a bird
In this era they kind went back and forth on keeping the design with non-human proportions and starting to make her have more human proportions again. It’s kinda akward to see her design switch between comics so much but at least they aren’t sexualized.
While I do not like the design on the right, I don’t think it’s sexualized? Having a curvy body typed does not mean she is being sexualized, but It’s just so sad that it’s clear artists drew her like this because it was the only way they thought they could communite she’s a woman.
The one on the left is okay? and I would say one of the best designs for her? Like she’s pink enough where she doesn’t look like an uncooked chicken with a wig, and the beak whie still the lipstick color is usually read as a beak. It still isn’t a good design in my opinion, It’s the best one just because the others were/are just awful to look at
Speaking of awful, the hony started
covers vs. comics
Like her design was weird/bad already so now, that I would argue is sexualized, it became even worse. I don’t think I need to say how weird it is to use sex appeal in a childrens comic, but it’s specially gross how her design is even more sexualized on the cover, putting her in bikinis even when the main story doesn’t involve Rosinha or a beach at all? It’s uh! fucked up! But this design stayed like this until the end of the comics.
I need to be clear tho and say that the sexualization isn’t the only problem? Rosinha just looks akward in every drawing because she follows different anatomy and design rules just beacause she’s a female character
For example the first panel and last pannel looks so weird and disconnected, like Rosinha and José aren’t from the same comic. It’s because they insist on doing whatever with José and making him as toony as needed while desperately trying to keep Rosinha human-adjacent, her head looks too small at all times in comparisson to other characters, her beak-lips are weird, she has hair??? and her flesh skintone is off putting. (Middle pannel is there just to show that she can look relatively normal sometimes)
And her having a chest/waist isn’t the issue here either, cause there’s plenty of characters in the comic who do and are not sexualized (middle one has the same issue with the flesh color 😔)
And having a more human body type can look okay too! If everyone on the cast looks like they belong in the same universe (Look how Parceiro and Dickie have more ““realistic”“ body proportions while Netúnia, Olimpia and Ari are more toony, but all of them fit in the same style)
Her new design in the Culturama comics look better but it still has the same issues that it always had (colors/proportions/etc.)
As to why any of her designs were changed I don’t specifically know, but I’d guess it’s to fit whatever role she has on the current story. Although I like these comics, female characters aren’t really treated with the same care as male characters (given that she’s the only recurring woman in the comic and still barely considered part of the main cast)
Rosinha is more of a plot device than a character itself, so her changing, design and personality wise, makes sense on a certain level i suppose
Your header is so cute!!! How'd you find it? I didn't know he had kids! Or are they nephews like Huey Dewey and Louie? Any way it is, it's super cute!✨❤
