I guess his storytelling became a bit mellower and less extreme. But I think 1) the plot is really interesting 2) Goofy shines very strongly and 3) I happen to love the inking by Sandro Del Conte. To me this period of Scarpa is among the most beautiful Mickeys I've ever seen.
But the standalone MM stories from the era are, IMO, very strong. And some of the Cavazzano-inked stuff from the 60s especially just seems too "edgy" for my taste. Case in point : The first two Zenobia stories were printed in a German book that also contains a mid-60s Goofy story by Scarpa, and I think apart from Ubezio, that is actually the least appealing art in the book (which also contains stories by De Vita, later Cavazzano and Perina). Mickey's nose really looks odd in some panels.
