P. S. Someone wanted a better recent reprint of "Tralla La" than
US Digest #3. Doesn't anyone know that Disney Comics did 8 albums? I'll
recommend #6 which has not only "Tralla La" but also "Isle of Golden Geese"
both with very beautiful color. (ALSO "Teahouse of the Waggin' Dragon"
which Barks only WROTE, and the art strikes me as excreable even with the
fine colors. It's not a Jippes redraw, since he hadn't done those yet.)
I'll also recommend other Disney Albums except #4 and #8. The
flaws in #4 are particularly painful for Mouse buffs like me and I won't go
into them now.
Glad to be back, folks.

Some extracts of David's last 4 mails:

Yes, I mixed that one up with some other 'Arabian' story by Murry. I think
in English it would be called something like 'Ali Scrooge and the 40
robbers'.
> Sounds like the 32-page Murry story must be "Culprits Inc." which

> that, which is Mickey and Donald together against the Blot for the "Crown
> of Tasbah." For a non-Barks story, this one is actually pretty good.
So it must be VERY good if even you, "bored by Murry", call it 'pretty
good'! 8-)
> In a crowd scene in my first Egmont story I show Scrooge's office
> staff including "Mrs. Quackfaster, Clerkly the accountant and various

I hope mr. Branca knows how to draw Clerkly.

Can you give us the codes of those stories? I'm very curious about the
European (especially Dutch 8-) stories that will be reprinted, and I'm
curious which stories YOU picked.

Before you were on the list, we (at least I) thought there were only 4
Disney albums. And since then, all I know about them is what YOU mailed
on the list. Maybe you can help updating our Disney-comics index?

Good to see the list come alive again after more than a week of
silence! (One week, 11 hours, 50 minutes, and 33 seconds, to be
exact.)
For one thing I needed some messages to see if my new automatic digest
script works. It seems like it does, which is great, because I'll
leave town for a week again. (I'm off to Rome.) I hope the script
behaves and doesn't start mailing around things is shouldn't to people
who don't want it. Shoot me when I'm back if the digests didn't look
like they were supposed to do.
Yeah sure Gilbert, there are sleazy biographies. Don't know about
this one though, as I haven't read it. I'll see. 'Nuff said.
Congrats on selling your dialogue and scripts, David! I'm also
interested in what D- and H-stories you have chosen.
When exchanging letters with Duckburg Times editor Dana Gabbard
earlier, I mentioned disney-comics, and today I got his updated
"Resource Guide For Barks/Disney Fans", where he has included it. He
misspelt the subscription address though, so I'll have to write him
again. Too bad... Re the rumours about Barks painting again he
answered:
> All sorts of rumors about Barks--new paintings, new projects. Not
> with Bruce Hamilton!
There'll be some kind of Disney panel at the San Diego Comic Con by
the way. Anyone going there? (Not me...)
