American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Really? That's a pity."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Colin still made a regretful expression on the surface.

After chatting about each other's views, Luo Yin began to talk about cooperation.

The purpose of his trip was simple, mainly to discuss the cooperation between Mickey Mouse and the Courier.

For financial considerations, Walt Disney Studios considered opening up some of the image franchises of Mickey Mouse in comic strips, and Colin's Courier and Courier Comics are currently one of the most popular comic publications in New York, which is why Luo Yin went to the newspaper.

He planned to use the popularity of Superman to reverse the decline in sales of Mickey Mouse peripherals.

After hearing what Luo Yin meant, Colin immediately became interested.

Of course, the subsequent negotiations.

It was not as smooth as expected. Luo Yin Disney's arrival was just to express preliminary opinions.

In the end, after a three-hour conversation.

The Courier and Walt Disney Studios reached a preliminary consensus.

The studio agreed in principle to sell some of Mickey Mouse's franchise rights in newspapers, allowing Colin to serialize a comic story about Mickey Mouse in the Superman comics. However, the plot must be agreed by Walt Disney, and Mickey Mouse in the serialized comics must conform to Disney's animation settings.

In short, Walt Disney Studios attaches great importance to the image of Mickey Mouse. After all, this is the existence that the Walt brothers started with.

What if Colin designed Mickey Mouse as an evil villain in the comics and did things that did not match his image, such as destroying the city.

It would be a huge blow to the Walt Disney Studios, which had just started.

Of course, Walt Disney of this era would never have thought that one day in the future, the animated image of Mickey Mouse would never return to the route of curiosity.

But, speaking of this.

If you watch the "Lake Symphony" series of animations produced by Disney during this period, there are also many curious contents. The first episode of the animation, "The Skeleton Dance", features a group of skeletons dancing in a grave. If this is put in the future, it will definitely be a cult for children.

Of course, in the early days of the Great Depression, Walt Disney's animation audience was actually more for adults.

The transition to children's animation was more after the establishment of Disneyland.

Here, the franchise issue of Mickey Mouse's appearance in the "Superman" comics was finalized.

On the other hand, Colin also took the opportunity to put forward his own request, hoping that the studio could make an animation with "Superman".

Originally, he planned to wait for a while, and it would not be too late to launch the "Superman" series of animations after the technology for making animations matured.

But since Walt Disney himself came to the door, Colin would naturally not miss this opportunity.

Luo Yin was a little hesitant about Colin's request.

"I need to discuss this with the people in the studio before giving you an answer, Mr. Colin Luper."

...

Anti-world, the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, in the submarine Narwhal.

Colin opened his eyes and walked out of the cramped room.

With the help of [Super Hearing], he could hear the conversations of the rebels in the submarine, the roar of the submarine's huge diesel engine, and of course the shrill screams of the nervous octopus in the deep sea, which sounded like a plane whizzing by; the "dongdong" sound of catfish swimming at night like a military drum; the snoring sounds of pufferfish and porcupinefish, which sounded like "snoring" and "snoring".

The sea is not silent, but very lively.

Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to talk to fish.

Shaking his head, he put away his [Super Hearing] ability.

Colin looked in the direction of the submarine's passage.

As a cruiser submarine that has been put into use since World War II, the internal equipment of the Narwhal has long been outdated. Even after being transformed and repaired by the rebels, it cannot cover up the fact that it has been in combat for more than 60 years.

Restricted by the Washington Armistice Agreement, the US military has been required to control the strength of its naval armaments since World War II.

The treaty stipulates that the signatory countries must abandon their respective battleship construction plans and maintain their existing battleships. After the treaty comes into effect, the battleships of the signatory countries that are not stipulated to be retained, whether they are built or not, must be abandoned in accordance with the provisions of the treaty.

Since the signing of the "Armistice Agreement", the US Navy has entered a long era of "Navy Holiday".

With the retirement of various warships, the strength of the US Navy has gradually shrunk, retreating from the original far sea operations to near defense.

If there were not three aircraft carriers that have been in service for more than 60 years, supporting the face of the navy, occasionally showing their faces in the Atlantic, and then returning to the port for maintenance.

Or, the United States would have long been removed from the list of naval powers.

Of course, even if it is not removed, according to the assessment of the New York Times and other media, perhaps in four or five years, as those aircraft carriers that have exceeded their service life are forced to retire, the combat effectiveness of the navy will also be greatly affected.

In fact, because of this incident, the Senate Armed Services Committee has called for a discussion on the possibility of revising the Washington Armistice Agreement, believing that this provision, which has been in place since the beginning of World War II, can no longer adapt to the development of modern society. As a victorious country, Germany should be given a break so that they can build a newer generation of naval warships and equipment.

In the narrow corridor of the submarine, the dim lights flickered faintly, making a sizzling sound of electricity.

Obviously, the power supply system inside the Narwhal was also affected by the water pressure.

Retracting his eyes from the dim light in the corridor, Colin turned his head to look at the corridor plywood on the side.

As the most important cruiser submarine of the US military during World War II, the scale of the Narwhal was not small. The length of more than 100 meters allowed the entire submarine to run under the sea like a behemoth.

However, due to the limitations of technology at the time, although the scale of the Narwhal was huge, a large part of it was to carry its huge engine compartment, which was equipped with four diesel engines and two electric engines.

Excluding the location of the engine compartment, the entire Narwhal had fewer cabins that could actually be used.

At the same time, the large number of reinforcement plates in the submarine made the already narrow submarine even more crowded.

In the Narwhal, the reinforcement plates everywhere blocked everyone's sight.

But they could not block Colin's eyes.

As he looked, the plywood in front of him began to peel off, revealing the old wiring and internal mechanical structure inside.
