I don't read the Swedish Disney books regularly, but if I find
something I will tell you all about it. Maybe someone else checks
them regularly? I'd love such information myself, especially if it
appeared when the magazines are still in the stores.

My quote quiz --- the answers
Message 62 -

Those only-X-hours-left-until-deadline warnings were wrong by four
hours, as I had the timezones mixed up. "Time is just an illusion.
Lunch time double so." Oops, a non-Disney quote! Sorry! :-)
Only four people entered my quote quiz, and those brave ducks were, in
the order they submitted their answers, Harry Fluks, Anders Berglund,
Anders Wass, and Jens Abrahamsson. But before looking at how they
did, let's take a look at the correct answers. To make it easier to
find the stories I've added info on any Gladstone reprints of the
stories. Of course I should have mentioned where Disney has reprinted
them even later as well, but I simply don't know that.
1. "Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Angry duck wrecking
dining car at sixth and `D' streets! That is all!"
That is the ending of the story with the square eggs aka "Lost in the
Andes" aka DDOS 223. The angry duck was our friend Donald of course.
(Reprinted in Gladstone's DDA 3)
2. "Down with H'America!"
This is a suspicious-looking spy talking with another spy. The story
is WDC 114, reprinted in DD 253 as "Ski Samaritan".
3. "I demand that you give a *billion dollars* to the L.T.A.B.!"
"The L.T.A.B.? What's that?" --- "The League To Abolish Billionaires!
*Down with the rich!*" This is from the beginning of US 6 (Tralla
La). Reprinted in US Digest 3.
4. "Life won't be worth *living* without my starfish!"
Donald's dried star fish is gone, because a pack rat exchanged it for
an old civil war button. WDC 52.
5. "Notice the powerful action of the ejector! Yet see how
gently it places decorations on the frosting!"
A cake froster salesman in WDC 83. He is demonstrating his product on
Donald's face. Reprinted in M&D 7 as "Sales Resistance". Nobody got
this.
6. "Now I'll grind up the *rabbit*!"
Donald Duck performs magic tricks with a live rabbit and a grinder.
Pretty scary scene from WDC 82, reprinted in M&D 8.
7. "Plinky plinky --- feep week --- womp bomp --- squeek squeek"
Jens thought this was the sound of Donald's car, which I think was a
good guess, but actually it's what Huey, Dewey, and Louie are supposed
to learn to play with their string trio in WDC 85, reprinted in M&D 12
as "The Masters of Melody".
8. "Regional artifacts of the early rhubarbian era contain the
most interesting worm holes --- blah --- blah!"
This is from a very interesting speech at the museum club banquet that
Donald is forced to go to with Daisy in "Big-Top Bedlam". DDOS 300
reprinted in DD 261.
9. "Tantalium! Youguessium! Nosuchium!"
Youguessium right. That was Uncle Scrooge looking at minerals in "Land
of the Pygmy Indians", US 18. Reprinted in USA 10.
10. "That's it! Jump in the ocean and swim back to Japan!"
An old WDC again. Seems like a lot of them showed up in this quiz.
This is WDC 56 from May 1945, where Donald is walking in his sleep.
When the boys try to wake him up he thinks that they are a "Jap
ambush", and throws them out the window. This was the second one that
nobody got.
11. "Two hundred cawrs, ninety kerwawks, four thousand tweets,
eight tillion twitters, and sixty chuk chuks south by
southeast!"
Magica's raven reporting where Scrooge is to Magica in "The Many Faces
of Magica de Spell" (US 48). He is hiding in the valley of the
faceless people. Reprinted in Giant Album 6.
12. "Waitah, what's the swankiest dish your cook can sling
together?"
Donald is tired of hot dogs, and takes his nephews "to a fancy joint
for a change". The waiter's response is "*Frogs' legs*, sir!", but
they are *three dollars* a serving, so the ducks end up chasing frogs
on their own. And then... Nah, that would be telling. :-) WDC 108.
13. "You'd be a pip on my radar --- A wow on the video! ---
We could sing bebop in a helicop' --- on our way to a movie show!"
A song that Rolando the Vaquero learned from the ducks and then sang
to sweet Panchita back in 1848. Her comment: "The words don't make
sense, Rolando! --- But *sing some more*!" The story is "Old
California", DDOS 328. Reprinted in DD 244.

Pretty hard, eh? There were two quotes that nobody got, and only one
contestant got more than half of them. I hope noone refrained from
entering because they only knew one or two quotes and thought that
wasn't good enough.
Harry had the right answers to 1, 6-9, 11, 13; Anders B. to 1-2, 4,
7-9; Anders W. to 3, 8, 11-12; and Jens finally to question 11 (but
many interesting guesses to some of the other ones). As you may
remember the score you get for a correct answer is the inverse of the
number of correct answers for that quote and that yields the following
scores:
Harry 4-1/6
Anders B. 3-5/6
Anders W. 2-2/3
Jens 1/3
All you other 0
Note that the order is the same as the order of submitting their
answers, so remember to answer really early next time! :-)
The prize (a virtual peanut) is on its way to Harry. Congratulations!

Colouring
Message 63 -
1992-08-22 at 18:51:03
Quack!
I have noticed that the colouring differs between the Scandinavian Duck
magazine and the American ones. It seems that the American colourists
do their job better. For example they colour Donald's eyes light blue,
while the Scandinavian duck usually has got white ones. When reading through
Donald Duck adventures number 28, the first one I've ever seen, the
quality of the colouring amazed me. Also, I remember that I once compared
the colouring of the Swedish and American Versions of "The Golden Helmet".
I then discovered that the colours were different, yellow instead of light
brown, and so on. I even believe that Donald's buttons were a wee bit
orange in the American comic book.
I would like to know how come the colouring differs between the countries,
and I'm pretty sure you guys know the answer! :-)

Query from Per Starback:

Per,
"DISNEY ADVENTURES" is sort of a "magazine for kids" (by it's own
definition). I don't know if you are familiar with "SEVENTEEN" magazine or
other teenager-type magazines geared towards younger audiences, but that's
along the lines of what it is. It is definitely not just a comic book. I
covers a wide range of information with the idea of basically informing young
kids on various topics (i.e. ecology, entertainment, hobbies, etc.). Also
kids are encouraged to send in their artwork, there's contests, etc. While
they do feature actors and other celebrities that have nothing to do with the
Disney company (i.e. feature films, etc.) they do tend to focus heavily on
ones that do. They also run little by-lines and promos for Disney
productions, but then, "hey, it is their magazine!" so why not?
As far as the portion that concerns this list, the comics, usually get
reprinted in Disney's COLOSSAL COMICS COLLECTION. Both Disney Adventures &
Colossal Comics are "digest" size magazines. The nice thing about DA is that
the comics are not just Disney Afternoon stories, but also Roger Rabbit, and
occasionally Adventures (i.e. western stories, etc.) this latest issue did
run a Goof Troop story. Other stories presented were an outerspace
Mickey/Minnie/Goofy/Pete story (3 parts long and nicely 'painted'). I haven't
seen any Roger Rabbit stories reprinted in Colossal so I think Colossal is
primarily interested in furthering stories about characters from the Disney
Afternoon. There has been a promise from the editor of Colossal that they
will run some new stories and not just reprints from Disney Adventures. The
latest issues have kept that promise.
As for the "volumes" question. I believe DA went through a format change a
few months ago and thus moved from Volume 1 to Volume 2, but the numbering
sequence stayed the same (though I could be wrong on this since I would think
that there have been more than 12 issues so far).
I hope this helps.

Well, this is _my_ Rosa list. I tried to make it as compact as possible.
This means it is wider than 80 characters per line, on a few places..
There are some things I don't know (yet?):
- What do the covers marked with '...' look like?
- Are there covers (in Scandinavia) that are not on the list?
- What is the title of the Rosa album that will be published in september (?) ?
- Is the Scandinavian column complete? (e.g. was the cover of "Treasure
under glass" not published in Scan.?)
- ...
Any help, as always, very welcome.
Here it comes. (Per: discover the differences! 8-)

Not only that, but there are differences within the same country as
well, so that e.g., American reprints often don't have the same
colouring as the original. You might think it would save work to
reuse a colouring when it's done, but I guess it isn't.
In Mickey and Donald #5 there was a letter that asked why Gladstone
didn't always use the original colouring. The answer was that with
rare exceptions they *did* use the original colour schemes, but to do
that they teared up two copies of the old comics to send to the colour
separators. When they didn't use the original colour scheme it was
because they didn't have access to any old (probably valuable) stuff
they wanted to tear apart, or they thought the original colouring was
bad.
This is not entirely true though, because Gladstone made at least one
consistent change. They made the stripes on Donald's jacket yellow
instead of white, as before. On covers they were always yellow, but
the jacket was blue instead of black! Donald's nephews are also often
coloured in a strange way on covers.
The colourists in different countries seem to have created their own
traditions. In Scandinavia those stripes are blue, Donald's car is
red instead of yellow and the Beagle Boys always have red sweaters.

Disney started with the light blue eyes when they took over. I don't
think the ducks have ever had anything else than white eyes in the
comics before. They did have light blue eyes on the screen though, so
I guess that's why they changed it. I think it looks a bit strange,
but I guess that's just because I'm not used to it.

In reply to Jens Abrahamsson and Per Starback:
Jens> I have noticed that the colouring differs between the Scandinavian
Jens> Duck magazine and the American ones.
When the European editors buy USA stories, they usually don't buy the coloring.
American coloring was inferior to the European standards, so they re-coloured
the stories in Europe. In Holland, there was also the problem that some text
balloons had to be re-sized to fit the translation, so they couldn't use the
original color anyway.
When Disney took over from Gladstone, they (finally) gave the comics colors
that Europeans are used to for years.
In Holland, it depends on the comic whether or not original colours/colors
are used: in 'DD Extra' (monthly), Danish stories are published, using the
original Danish colouring. Also some Van Horn stories from Disney are
published with original USA colors.
In the (better looking) 'Donald Duck' (weekly), they *always* re-colour the
stories.
In the pocket editions, they use the colours (partly B&W) from the German
pocket books 'Lustige Taschenbuecher'.

Donald's car *should* be red, and not yellow. I have never seen a comic where
Donald's car (the now famous 313) is yellow...

Hmm... I guess you're right, and that it is red now, but is has had
other colours as well. Here are some data from Walt Disney's Comics &
Stories: Dell: 189 blue; Gold Key: 379, 403 red; 422 yellow; 429
red; 450, 454, 455 yellow; 456 red; 469 yellow; 471 red; Whitman: 487,
491 yellow; 504 blue. Judging by that small sample it seems like
yellow was the most common colour during a period at least. What
colour do you Americans think the car really has?
Harry> I think the USA coloring is a bit overdone..
I'm not that fond of very fancy colouring myself. E.g., I didn't like
the colouring in _Uncle Scrooge McDuck His Life And Times_. At the
end of it (p. 373) Carl Barks's colour guide for one page of "Back To
the Klondike" is reproduced, and I think it's better in almost every
way to the one that actually appeared in the book (p. 42).

Hi fans,
just a question I'm not sure about. Didn't Barks' wife Gare do much of his
coloring ? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have to agree on this one. There is another problem in Germany where a few
years ago the Ehapa Verlag started reprints of Barks material in an own album
series called 'Die besten Geschichten mit Donald Duck' (The best stories with
Donald Duck). The format of this albums is larger than the original prints - a
bit over DIN A4 (which is 210mm by 297mm for our Americans :) ). Fine lines are
often missing in these prints what can be more annoying than strange colors.
The colors are not the best, either. But at least there is a series with Barks
name printed on the cover - it took long time to see this.

Gladstone Publishing Company has just started advertising a new series
of 6 albums featuring Gyro Gearloose. In the copy for this ad, they
describe Gyro as an "inventing chicken". This got me to wondering: in
what story, or stories, is Gyro ever referred to as a chicken? Rather
than go back and look them up, I thought I would take the easy way out
and ask the experts on this group. Anyway, I'm looking forward to
receiving the albums. In case you haven't seen the ad, you might want
to know that Gladstone is packaging these 6 Gyro albums with the 2
Scrooge albums of 1-page stories and an album of Barks Christmas
material (originally distributed by Firestone) as a 9-issue subscription
for $65.

Gare' did the lettering and backgrounds inking, starting with the "Omelette"
story. No Barks ever colored a Barks story.
This fact is used as an excuse by the publishers of The Carl Barks Library.
They say _that_ is why they published the CBL in black&white..

This series is inspired by the very successful Dutch series "De beste verhalen
van Donald Duck" (The best stories of [not with] Donald Duck). This series
started in 1975 as a co-production of Denmark and Holland. After 2 issues,
the co-production ended and Holland continued the series. They now reached
number 72. They also published 30 issues of "Oom Dagobert" (Uncle Scrooge).
In both series, Carl Barks was always mentioned as the author of the
stories (though not on the front cover).
The size of these albums is the same as the German. They all contain 46 to
54 pages of Barks stories, and a Jippes cover (except number 1). Number 1
had a cover showing Donald as fireman. This cover idea was later used by
Another Rainbow for CBL (the cover was re-made for CBL: a background drawing

I remember having seen a German version of number 1 of this series. It may
not have been so successful, so they stopped the series then, to start again
about 15 years later.
Anyway, since then, lots of Barks stories have been reprinted in Germany in
the "Sonderheft" series. They mostly used Danish and Dutch copies of the
stories. The Danish copies often had detail lines missing (or vague)...

Gare' did the lettering and backgrounds inking, starting with the "Omelette"
story. No Barks ever colored a Barks story.
This fact is used as an excuse by the publishers of The Carl Barks Library.
They say _that_ is why they published the CBL in black&white..

This series is inspired by the very successful Dutch series "De beste verhalen
van Donald Duck" (The best stories of [not with] Donald Duck). This series
started in 1975 as a co-production of Denmark and Holland. After 2 issues,
the co-production ended and Holland continued the series. They now reached
number 72. They also published 30 issues of "Oom Dagobert" (Uncle Scrooge).
In both series, Carl Barks was always mentioned as the author of the
stories (though not on the front cover).
The size of these albums is the same as the German. They all contain 46 to
54 pages of Barks stories, and a Jippes cover (except number 1). Number 1
had a cover showing Donald as fireman. This cover idea was later used by
Another Rainbow for CBL (the cover was re-made for CBL: a background drawing
by Barks was added).

Yes, I'm working on a complete Rosa list. I just got back from vacation,
so it's been delayed a bit. I should have it within a few weeks. I'll
post it on here naturally.

I always thought Gyro was a crane [Dutch "kraanvogel"; I got the English
word from a dictionary].
The Dutch publisher once answered that to a letter of a reader.
