. . . it is a mouse in a cheese warehouse. SELF CONTROL epitomizes how no one connected to Dizzy has any of the title virtue. From giving everyone around him the evil eye to smashing a radio to bits in his ultimate temper tantrum, Dizzy's dopey duck destroys everything he's around, just as his parent Mega Corporation does in Real Life. For instance, Night Line used to provide nightly updates on America's hostages in Iran. Now it only delivers nightly promos for fifth-rate ABC shows and fake celebrities. ESPN used to feature mostly sports, instead of blowhards yakking endlessly about has-been's and never was's. The M-puppets used to mirror America, instead of bogus United Nations enclaves. Star Wars once was thrilling, and the Marvel Multiverse was comprehensible. Too bad America lacked the SELF CONTROL to cut the cheese supply to these rapacious rodents in the 1930's.
