Even MORE Disney weasels

[Fatal hilarity]

So did everyone see these? We've got lots this time.

[jebikun]

Maybe it's my internet but this site took sooo long to load so I gave up couple of times.
But finally!! Got to read it all mmmm

Nelly is so cute. President of Roger's fan club sounds cool.
I think Otis is nice hard working guy. I like him!
And looks like it's sort of running gag + Roger's personality that he starts off suspecting
weasels to be bad guys lol. After what he's been thru, kinda understandable.
Nigel is really interesting too. Cool abilities and smart enough to be detective himself!
If only his looks (design) was more appealing...

Thanks for all great comics! You rock

Okay, just wrote new entries. These go right after Mugsy, Pugsy, etc.:

Smarta** clone (1)
Somebunny to Love
As if things couldn’t get more confusing, out comes what appears to be Smarta** himself, making himself a foe once again. A more ignorant fan would probably say, “Hey! Isn’t he the weasel who wore pink in the movie?”
But it doesn’t take a whole lot of thinking to realize that this couldn’t be him, because he died in the movie. First of all, if you read the first issue of this series, you’ll immediately know that the stories take place after the movie, mostly because Eddie says that he isn’t able to take Roger’s case, and Rick Flint- another detective- fills in for him for the rest of the series, probably because Disney didn’t want to pay Bob Hoskins for the use of his likeness. There’s little doubt that Eddie met Roger for the first time in WFRR.
There isn’t complete agreement over whether or not a Dipped toon’s soul ever appears and goes to heaven or hell- many have noticed that Smarta** doesn’t appear as an angel, bringing into question the nature of his death- but everyone seems to agree that it’d take a lot to bring the Toon Patrol back to life, and Disney certainly doesn’t want to. So since Smarta** is dead, who the heck is this poorly-drawn copycat, anyway?
All we know about him is that he works for Hilda Grutsch, a gossip columnist. He’s hanging around Toontown, and spies Nellie Vladeck, the president of Roger’s fanclub, wandering around looking for Roger. This raises the suspicion that Roger is cheating on Jessica, and so this weasel acts as an informant and sends Nellie to Hilda. He then promptly disappears.
From what little we see of him, his personality certainly does match Smarta** well. He apparently has a map of all toon stars’ homes, which likely is his means of spying on them, and seems to be the only reason he knows where Roger lives- unless you really want to infer more from his statement that he and Roger are personal friends. In fact, this statement makes him particularly Smarta**-like, since he’s obviously lying and it makes it sound like they’re actually sworn enemies- which implies that the two have met each other in the past, which further implies that he had something to do with Judge Doom... which is all a big stretch of the imagination, really, but I get the feeling that the writers meant it that way.
But still, Smarta** is dead, so we can only theorize who this fellow is- especially since there is no implication that he was somehow brought back to life whatsoever. The most likely explanation- which at the same time is the most ridiculous sounding- is that he’s deliberately copying Smarta**’s fashion sense and mannerisms in an attempt to emulate him. Could it be that the Toon Patrol is so idolized among weasels that certain weasels copy them?
The idea that the Toon Patrol are considered martyrs of some kind is a strange one. But I guess even weasels have their obsessive nutcases... it might explain the Greasy copycat that comes later.

Nightwing weasels
Stork Raving Mad!
In a blatant attempt to sprinkle some weaselly badness into this story, in order to make it clear that Mr. Doppt (a Sydney Greenstreet wannabe who has recently joined the Lollipop Guild) is the bad guy, these weasels have been dropped into scenes with no further explanation. Whatever role they play within the Nightwing Infant Placement Company (a corrupt stork toon-baby-delivery service) is completely and utterly unknown.
One wears a lime green suit, a matching hat that looks like a cross between a bowler and a fedora, a yellow tie, and a white shirt. The other, who appears less often and out of nowhere, wears a blue checkered newsboy cap and a sweater with squiggly blue and white stripes.

Freep and Freep
Hare Apparent
If there’s one stock comic character that’s also absurdly generalized, it’s corrupt lawyers. Here, we see that weasels are regarded to be none too different from lawyers, as seen by Freep and Freep, two nearly identical weasels who are in charge of overseeing the inheritance of the Vander-Rabbit fortune.
With decidedly large foreheads, banana-like muzzles, baggy eyes, and a tendency to speak in perfect unison, the only difference between these two is that one has a much lighter fur color- one that resembles coffee with a lot of cream, which is unique. What’s also unique is the color of their bellies, which is actually darker than the rest of their fur. They also have lines on their faces that normally indicate a different fur color, but the colorists didn’t bother to make a distinction for some reason. Their outfits match as well, consisting of robin’s-egg blue tuxedo jackets, red bow ties, yellow shirt fronts, and white undershirts. And who can forget the white gloves?
Lawyers and weasels are apparently always “splitting hares”, so when Roger turns out to greatly resemble the late Vander-Rabbit, making him a potential heir, they insist on him being able to fit in with high society- at which he fails miserably. Once a doctor comes and reveals that he doesn’t have the family birthmark and instead only has measles, Freep and Freep try to throw him out- only to be told that the entire mansion is quarantined due to Roger’s measles.
Weasels with the measles... I wonder if that was intentional.

Otis
The Great Toon Detective
Otis doesn’t really look much like a weasel- he’s one of those rare weasels that further exaggerate the Mr. Toad base, winding up looking more like Wile E. Coyote- but when the dialogue says he’s a weasel, even if it would’ve been otherwise ambiguous, he’s a weasel.
Otis, surprisingly, makes an honest living working at the Miller’s Fireworks factory, which presumably provides fireworks for both humans and cartoon studios, if the presence of a face on one of them is any indication. Of course, just because he works there doesn’t mean he enjoys it.
Otis has broad cheeks, a wriggly muzzle, round eyes, and a uniquely different color on top of his muzzle. He wears a light green work shirt with rolled up sleeves, a white apron with the words “Miller’s Fireworks” on it, dark grey pants, white gloves, and a slate-colored safety helmet.
Otis spends most of the story having to deal Roger’s clumsiness, which causes several skyrockets to go off and does serious damage to the walls. Not only that, Roger automatically assumes that Otis is the person who kidnaps and imprisons them, leaving them for dead as they’re about to get blown up- just because he’s a weasel.
It of course turns to be the president of the company, Mr. Miller, who seems to be intending to blow up Maroon Cartoons because of the money he’s going to lose due to Maroon having the next presidential campaign be on their television station’s commercials, instead of relying on pyrotechnic displays. (It gets even more convoluted than that, if you can believe it.)
Even after getting frustrated with Roger’s destruction and being wrongly accused, it’s doubtful that he gets anything to compensate for it, seeing as the factory will probably shut down and go out of business now that the president has been jailed.

And this comes right after the one about the miscellaneous weasels in video game adaptions of WFRR:

Unconfirmed weasels
Various Roger Rabbit comics
One works for a casino- but with his short snout, squinty eyes, and whiskers, he could be any number of mustelids. He also lacks ears.
The other is far too goofy-looking to truly be a weasel, what with his pencil neck and almost banana-shaped face- and most of all his buck teeth.

And a slight update to this entry:

Smarta** clone (2)
Mickey’s Dangerous Chase (Gameboy)
In this obscure game for Gameboy, we see that one of the enemies is a weasel, wearing a zoot suit get-up similar to Smarta**, with additional pants. One can infer that they’re working for Pete (again), who for God knows what reason steals Minnie’s new pet bird.
This makes the second of six instances of weasels working for Pete- the others being The Prince and the Pauper (and it’s level in Mickey Mania), Legend of Illusion (which was released after this game), The Great Circus Mystery, Magical Tetris Challenge, and the House of Mouse episode “Pete’s House of Villains”. Why Pete? I guess The Prince and the Pauper is to blame.
Because they’re your basic 8-bit enemy, these fellows either walk back and forth or hop around and nothing else, hoping you, the player, will run Mickey into them. In later levels, you see them driving cars, trying to ram you.
“I’m gonna ram ‘im!”

Nice description.
Any chance the events in the comic with Smarty clone and Nellie in it happened BEFORE the movie? Before he got dipped and all...Just a thought.

[Fatal hilarity]

No, I'm afraid not- Rick Flint is in it. You need to read his entry more carefully...

[jebikun]

oops. I did read it thru and I was aware that why Rick is there and stuff...but
got careless just focusing(hoping) on SA's existence. My bad.
So he can't be that SA. Case closed-

[Fatal hilarity]

Yeah, well, don't feel too bad... I was disappointed as well, although I expected the worst, considering how poorly drawn he was.

[Fatal hilarity]

This entry has been updated slightly because I looked at these particular weasels more closely:

moar weezils
House of Mouse season 4, episode #4- “Pete’s House of Villains”
It is truly sad to see the enthusiasm for weasels fade and the variety created by the Toon Patrol disappear. In some ways a lot of Disney weasels nowadays are even more faceless than they were in Mr. Toad! These guys have almost no clothes! Mickey Saves the Day was released just around three years before this episode aired, and they were almost completely naked as well. It’s a strange contrast to the interesting variations seen in the rest of this series... the only thing that’s unique about them is their frighteningly large teeth and long, pointed tails- a first for classic-style weasels.
These guys are particularly disappointing because it was rumored that they were the Toon Patrol themselves. But alas, they are not- so whoever started that rumor was simply being ignorant, assuming that because they have similar body and head shapes and fur color, that they could be nothing else but the Toon Patrol. What that tells us is that the person thought the Toon Patrol weasels were the only weasels, and that their costumes didn’t matter. Sheesh, at least check to see if they wore similar clothing!
But I digress- Pete, who has always been a big blowhard, thinks that the show Mickey is putting on stinks and that he could do better. So what does he do? He appeals to those Disney fans that are obsessed with their villains and hires them to do all of Mickey’s staff’s jobs!
The trouble begins when a group of weasels, who wear nothing but red bow ties, steal gold from one of the customers- Prince John from Robin Hood. When it turns out that the villains Pete hired are ruining costumer satisfaction, he fires them all, but not without some struggle. The weasels replaced the usual waiter penguins (which is more of a direct reference to WFRR than these weasels are, and also explains the bow ties), and they object to being fired- so they drop a safe on Pete.
And the moral of the story is: don’t hire weasels as waiters, or they’ll rob the customers. Also, if you try to fire them, they’ll rebel against you. C’mon, Pete- they’ve been faithful to you so far! Don’t expect them to serve people food when their specialty is crime! Firing them is just gonna tick them off. Where else are they gonna find jobs? Besides cheese stores, I mean.
