Gosalyn, clearly, has not changed much.
This is interesting - it's about as close to a dystopia as DW gets (not counting that whole 'DarkWarrior Duck' thing). All those shots of complacent, sleepy-eyed office workers... it's actually kinda creepy. Clearly, THIS TOWN NEEDS DARKWING DUCK! Cue the music!

You want proof that it's as close as DW gets to a dystopia... look at the inside cover. DW meets Frank Miller. Miller loses!

[psychopathicus_rex]

...wait. You mean it's DW in the STYLE of Frank Miller, or DW VS. Frank Miller in a no-holds-barred to-the-death cagematch? (Or am I extrapolating somewhat too freely...?)

Why wouldn't you count the Darkwarrior Duck? That was the best pre-whoreswhoreswhoreswhores Frank Miller parody ever.

Oh, sure, but that was more in the lines of a 'dark possible future' - it was an extrapolation from the current DW continuity, and not actually part of it, since in the 'real' continuity, Gosalyn stuck around, and DW never went bonkers. This, on the other hand, is the current DW timeline, with all the normal characters in place - and it's STILL a dystopia. So in my mind, that makes it somewhat more of a legitimate dystopia than 'DarkWarrior', awesome as that episode was.
