We have a new French story with Mickey and Donald trying to have a peaceful vacation, but it doesn't end up so peaceful:
These kind of stories are quite rare I like when authors manage to make the relationship believable, because too many stories are "I haven't seen you in a long time" kind. In my headcanon, Mickey and Goofy live in Duckburg, at least in a neighborhood far from Donald's neighborhood.
What are some other stories you know with Donald and Mickey together?
First disney story I read as an adult was them together on some exotic island and there was pete as some smuggler or something, I think it was wdcs or donald issue, does anyone have idea what it could be, probably an issue from 20th century
French story Shadow Master has Mickey and Minnie as the protagonists, but Scrooge and Donald appear near the beginning, where they go to a shadow-puppetry show.
1994 French story saga Satellite Hunt also has both Mickey, Goofy and Donald trying to find miscellaneous satellites shaped like soccer balls. The last episode has the Ducks appear with the Mice characters.

Pat & Carol McGreal have written a bunch of stories with both Mickey and Donald, including the Mythos Island series, the Millenium Orb series and the On the Road series. The one that sticks in my mind is "A Blighted Birthday."

As you can see from this induck research, MM and DD have met a few times in Italian stories since 2010**. But almost always for special occasions. Most notably: two Xmas stories (one written by Faraci, the other by Gagnor), two stories devoted to the art (as always the 'pedagogic art stories' are written by Gagnor, one seen in WDCS), some single cartoons by Ziche (she is in charge of the cartoon gag opening Topolino every week), and the dottor Jekyll & mister Hyde parody (written by Enna) where Mickey is Jekyll and...well...guess who is Hyde? The only recent 'regular' story featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy as protagonists is this story from 2010 by Faccini.
So in Topolino the rule is probably "they can see each other in special occasions, only in the hand of experienced/top rated writers".
Sometimes, there are cross references. For instance in this Xmas story by Casty Mickey gets a Xmas postcard by Scrooge. And in this Faraci-Cavazzano's (celebrative) story Pete reminds Mickey that they have a soccer game "good guys vs. bad guys" with the Duckburg gang, and Mickey replies remarking that at least the Beagle Boys already have their shirt with a number on it.
[** I take 2010 as a reference because it is the year when the new director/editor-in-chief of Topolino magazine started her job, slowly changing the whole game. In a better way, everyone thinks. Because before Disney Italia was trying to turn Topolino magazine into a too childish publication, on the model of many equivalent Disney publications elsewhere in Europe. This had entailed the departure of many important writers - like Artibani, for instance - and the impossibility for others - like Casty - to develop long stories. Since 2010 things are increasingly getting better.]
Mouse characters appeared a couple of times in Carl Barks stories: - A Mickey adventure:
- Mickey's nephews in a gyro story:
- In "Vacation Time" (https://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+WDC++83-02), Donald says "I should open the door, maybe it's Daisy, or Mickey, or someone I know!"
I mentioned it in my long post here, under "Giorgio Cavazzano". MM and the others are actors enrolled to play in a movie based on their own comics editor-in-grief (by Gottfredson).

Why can't they do the same thing in France... (and also remember that a Disney publication is for Disney comics, not low-hanging-fruit vulgar comic strips.)

I have no problem with Donald having been in lots of Gottfredson Mickey Mouse, and Goofy being with Donald in Taliaferro 3-tier stories. But, that Silly Symphonies-style Donald fits in fine with the Gottfredson Mouse Universe. I don't like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Horace and Clarabelle in Barks' 4-tier Donald Universe. I have enough trouble reconciling or accepting "Duck Universe characters" not drawn by Barks or Jippes/Milton/Verhagen, and stories written by others.

Where's that second image from? Betting the first one's from "Riddle of the Red Hat", since it's the only Mickey story Barks ever wrote and drew, but no clue about the second one.
