THE PHANTOM BLOT - A PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION. Part 1 - Contributed by Jens Terje

 The Phantom Blot

The Phantom Blot is a mysterious enemy of Mickey Mouse who wears a body-length black sheet. Created in 1939 in Floyd Gottfredson's comic strip, the Phantom Blot became a very recurring character in European comics where he is one of Mickey's archenemies, second only to Pete. He was also reused, to a lesser extent, in American stories.

The Phantom Blot prefers being an ominous mastermind in the background, pulling strings and organising schemes, to engaging in physical criminal jobs.

The Phantom Blot is a master of disguise. He uses disguises to fool Mickey Mouse and the police, sometimes even appearing right in front of them without being noticed. When escaping the scene, the Phantom Blot often leaves a trademark "business card" - a sheet of white paper with a black splodge of ink on it.

When unmasked, the Phantom Blot is an anthropomorphic dog. He has a gaunt face with a long nose and a long, thin moustache. Phantom Blot's unmasked look was reportedly based on the features of Walt Disney himself.

The Phantom Blot and Pete are often bitter rivals, as both want to be recognised as the city's greatest criminal mastermind, and to get the most money out of the deal. However, some stories have shown them teaming up with each other.

The Phantom Blot made his animated debut in the DuckTales episode "All Ducks on Deck" voiced by Frank Welker. He is shown to be an agent of F.O.W.L.

The Phantom Blot appears as an antagonist in the TV series Mickey Mouse Works and its spinoff House of Mouse voiced by John O'Hurley.

An altered, monstrous version of the Phantom Blot, known as the "Shadow Blot", serves as the antagonist of the first Epic Mickey game. The Phantom Blot seemingly meets this creature in the city's museum when unlocking a dimensional portal, in the story The Blot and The Blob.

The Phantom Blot made a cameo appearance in the episode "Sock Burglar" from the TV series Mickey Mouse.

The Phantom Blot is a recurring antagonist during the third season of the DuckTales reboot, voiced by Giancarlo Esposito. While his history as a member of F.O.W.L. remains intact, this version came from a village that Magica De Spell attacked.

THE BARON VON MÜNCHHAUSEN COLLECTION - Contributed by Jens Terje

Baron Münchhausen (born May 11, 1720, Bodenwerder, Hanover [Germany]—died February 22, 1797, Bodenwerder) was a Hanoverian storyteller, some of whose tales were the basis for the collection The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Münchhausen served with the Russian army against the Turks and retired to his estates as a country gentleman in 1760. He became famous throughout Hanover as a raconteur of extraordinary tales about his life as a soldier, hunter, and sportsman. A collection of such tales appeared in Vademecum für lustige Leute (1781–83; “Manual for Merry People”), all of them attributed to the baron, though several can be traced to much earlier sources.

Münchhausen, however, was launched as a “type” of tall-story teller by Rudolf Erich Raspe, who used the earlier stories as basic material for a small volume published (anonymously) in London in 1785 under the title Baron Munchausen’s Narrative of His Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. Gottfried August Bürger freely translated Raspe’s volume back into German in 1786, and it was Bürger’s edition that became the most widely known in German. Later and much enlarged editions, none of them having much to do with the historical Baron Münchhausen, became widely known and popular in many languages. They are generally known in English as The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
