Young Indiana Tales

[arzcena17]

Young Indiana Tales was released on Topolino 3345 as part of Young Donald Duck Universe by Francesco Artibani. It's about the story Indiana Pipps attending in university while the rest of the younger character attended at the boarding school. The story was revealed at Lucca Comic and Games. It gained a slight popularity for views.

Fabio del Prate just replied to me on YouTube comments and Francesco Artibani also replied to me that Young Indiana Tales is a different project of Young Donald Duck and it does fit into the Young Donald Duck Universe.

Hang on, could we get a clear quote on that? Is this confirmation that Young Donald Duck is a parallel universe or what?

Rule #1 when dealing with Italian Disney comics: unless otherwise stated, every story is continuity-free\set in its own universe.

I get the impression that it's more "it's set in the Disney comics universe as you know it, we didn't pay specific attention to details, broadly assume that whatever stories you've read happened, if you want, or don't, it's up to you". 

Which is distinct from "this story is definitively in a parallel universe, I do not intend for this version of Donald's biography to be the past of the character in any adult-Donald story you may happen to have read, it's just a what-if".

I generally agree with what you're saying here, Scrooge MacDuck. Though, when it comes to Young Donald Duck in particular, I also have the impression that it's intended to be set in its own universe, aside from the regular universe of the Italian or other Disney comics.

Worth pointing out that the writer of young Indiana (or Arizona, if you prefer) is none other than Bruno Sarda - who invented the character in the first place. So I'd assume this has far more "canon" worth than YDD.
