Quacknik Spinner returns to ‘Mickey Mouse’, the duck version of his alter ego Jannik Sinner. In issue 3650 on newsstands from today, Wednesday 5 November, the weekly comic is preparing to celebrate the adrenaline of the ATP Finals with a new and exciting sports-themed adventure, ‘Paperinik and the final distractions’, written by Roberto Gagnor and designed by Alessandro Perina, also author of the cover dedicated to the tennis champion.
The plot
In this new adventure we find the young tennis ace together with a completely exceptional helper: Paperinik! The two form an unprecedented couple on the court of the PdP Finals, a prestigious tournament reserved for the best tennis players in Calisota sponsored by Uncle Scrooge himself. Between ingenious inventions, publicity stunts and lurking Dachshunds, the competition turns into a contest of cunning and sportsmanship… all to be followed until the last set.
Another Mickey Mouse homage to tennis

Between “forehands and backhands”, the Disney Band takes to the court to tell stories related to the world of tennis with amusing gags, unlikely onomatopoeias and fun curiosities.
