Baloo is a bit overwhelmed…

Based on that Sonic surrounded by Amy meme

So I’m currently reading the Freddie Mercury biography “The Show Must Go On” by Rick Sky and I found this photo in the book and just had to share it with you because it’s simply beautiful

Listening

Previously spoke in the Dark Side series about the origin of "Phantom"—formerly known as Rick Sky. Since I mentioned in that version that Baloo didn't find him at sea... did they ever meet?... Yes.

During an assigned mission, he had to obtain specific information from a target he had been tracking for months. One of the places the target frequented was Louie's Place; initially, he went there solely for the mission, but over time, he began visiting more often because he enjoyed the atmosphere. Above all, he loved listening to the gossip among the other pilots—especially the stories Baloo told.

Oh, and regarding the context of the image: Baloo looks bewildered as he listens to some panther pilots discussing Shere Khan's new assistant and speculating on how long the poor soul will last before running away.

Rick (thinking): Just how many assistants has he gone through to warrant a betting pool?

Dark Rick Sky / Phantom

It's been a while since I've drawn anything from the Dark Side, and this one would be Rick Sky from TaleSpin.

What if Rick thawed out beforehand and was found by someone else?

For those who remember or have seen Disney's TaleSpin series, you'll recall Rick Sky, a legendary World War I pilot who disappeared along with his squadron while transporting a shipment of silver. This act branded them as thieves and traitors to the country, making them deeply hated by the population, with the exception of a few.

In this version, the glacier where they were trapped thawed Rick a few years before the series began. As he drifted at sea, he wasn't found by Baloo, but by a spy ship from a small country—and I'm not referring to Thembria.

He was taken prisoner to this land, a small continent located far out at sea, similar to Marvel's Latveria. Despite being frozen for several years, they saw his potential and subjected him to brainwashing experiments to make him loyal. Rick fought hard, but in the end, his mind broke, and he became a completely loyal soldier. Under the pseudonym "Phantom," he has successfully commanded several stealth attacks against the Pirates. and Cape Suzette

There is a bitter final note: during his torture, Rick ended up revealing the location where he and his team were when they were frozen, so a secret expedition was launched to recover the silver, but the remaining members of the squad were left behind in their ice prison.
