Double Nay

The appeal
While this as a DB sucks ass, this works waaaay better as a DBX, especially considering that Mario and Mickey have been competing in popularity for decades and DBX decides the victor by poll now. Also, this could be a good opportunity for another hand-drawn DBX!

The connections

 * Pioneers of their respective mediums.
 * Iconic optimistic mascots in red who are in a love triangle (Mario is in a love triangle with Bowser and Peach, while Mickey is in a love triangle with Minnie and Pete) and own several jobs.
 * Coincidentally, they both seem to be created in the same way: Walt Disney lost the ip to Oswald, so they decided to make a new character to replace him, while Miyamoto tried to get his hands on Popeye, and we all know how that turned out!
