Spaking of Donald Duck, a while ago someone told me that Americans like Mickey Mouse but never really cared for Donald; that it is Europeans who love Donald. I can't help wondering why this would be so.

Perhaps it's because we never had really great cartoon characters like >

Aaterix and Obelix. <g>

Come now, don't diss Donald! He is a creation of genius. It is true that most of the time, it is impossible to understand what he says; there is something of the French philosopher about him; but he really is a magnificent symbol for the unquenchable opitmism and fighting spirit of the little man (or little duck). I agree about Asterix and Obelix being wonderful, of course. But I thought they weren't all that well-known in America?
