Donald Duck & Co #25/2001

In "Det dovne liv," Mikke comes to the aid of Thalia, one of the immortal mice of Olympus, as she tries to escape a mediocre artist who's exploiting her inspiration to become a famous painter. Written by Pat Block, Shelly Block, and Henning Hagerup, with art by Rodriques and inks by Enriqueta Perea, this 2001 tale blends whimsy and quiet rebellion in a story that’s as much about creative integrity as it is about friendship. The cover, penciled by César Ferioli, captures the tale’s gentle charm.
