The following comic is the beginning (3 pages) of a story from a Topolino, an Italian weekly magazine that publishes comics with Topolino Mickey Mouse, Paperino Donald Duck, Pippo Goofy and other Disney characters. In this story Topolino, Pippo and the dog Pluto do birdwatching.
Comments:
– Il titolo: Pluto e l’incontro ravvicinatissimo. An “incontro ravvicinato” is a close encounter – with aliens. In this case the encounter “ravvicininatissimo” is very close. In fact, further in the story, aliens also come into play.
– Except pettirosso (robin) redbreast, the other bird species like pettigiallo or pettiblu do not exist, they are just invented words.
