Darkwing Duck #2
The second issue of the new Darkwing Duck series, set early-ish in the crime-fighter's career, gives us Bushroot who takes the place of the substitute teacher at Gosalyn's school just as she tries out (and fails to land) the starring role in the school play. Promising to help her get a larger role if she helps him out in his garden, Gosalyn unwittingly helps the criminal create bushy henchmen in the look of her classmates and also St. Canard's most famous hero.
There's some fun here with none of the characters seeing through a rather lame disguise, Gosalyn lying to her father about getting the starring role, and the villain's plan coming to fruition on opening night leading to a much more action-packed performance than any of the parents expected. Bushroot's deafness to the (several) times Darkwing calls Gosalyn his daughter (all with the villain, and the entire audience, within earshot) is pretty awkward, but there's still fun to be had.
