It's true he doesn't wear glasses anymore - since he had surgery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-54404806645707766092008-01-03T11:42:00.000-05:002008-01-03T11:42:00.000-05:00Hi Jeff,<BR/><BR/>I hope you know Bootle Beetle is still active (and not at the racetrack under a slightly reorganized name). He joined the cast of Disney's Bucky Bug comic book stories shortly after his debut with Donald, and still appears in the few new ones that are done today... though often without his glasses, an odd alteration.<BR/>Most of today's Bucky Bug stories are produced in Holland, but we did do an original one at Gemstone:<BR/>http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=XU+GEM+107David Gersteinnoreply@blogger.com
