I also want to point out something about the situation with Marvel, which
doesn't relate to Don Rosa at all. If Marvel and DC had actually bought
the rights to the artwork and not just to reproduce it, they would have
owed New York State a fortune in sales tax for all the art. Apparently,
buying reproduction rights didn't get taxed but buying original art did.
This was one of the main reasons that Marvel and DC started returning
art on a regular basis.

JAMES: Your mention of the "grouping" that Harry was eyeing rang a bell.
I remember seeing them advertised in Comics Buyers' Guide about 2 years
ago. The comic is US 195, a reprint of "Only a Poor Old Man". What drew my
attention was the ad claimed that the near mint copies of US 195 had "been
discovered on a farm in Virginia". This made me chuckle, as they had
obviously come from John Nichols' Bear Mountain Enterprises. Several years
back I bought 100 NM copies of US 195 from John for $.50 each, and
here were more turning up in a limited issue "collectable". They were very
overpriced as I recall.

I'll be going on vacation for a week here in the wilds of Nova Scotia and
will be unable to read my e-mail until I get back here to Halifax. Just
wanted to extend the best of the holiday season to everyone on this mailing
list. Sorry if I wasted too much band width on this, folks, but I get
sentimental this time of year.
Ciao.

HARRY: I know the gag you mean, but can't locate it on my list. Do you
have a reference? Scrooge would remember the "old school friend" if he
owed him money, and be able to instantly calculate the interest. Remember
Goldie's debt in FC 456?
The happy people of Brutopia do not eat ice cream.

Scrooge In Disney Store (Was: Assorted Stuff)

> RE: Uncle Scrooge Tie
Occasionally I will stop by our local Disney store to check for Scrooge items.
Of course it is very rare that I will actually find anything, and even more
rare that I find something worth buying. But I always make a point to bug
one of the employees and ask if they have any Scrooge stuff. I've gotten
various replies including, "we had some t-shirts last week", "we get a lot of
requests for that but don't have anything", and "here's the main Disney
Merchandise number that you can call for more information." I never called,
knowing that I probably couldn't afford anything anyway, but if you're really
desparate you might want to try that route. My hope is that by asking every
once in a while, the demand might filter back up the chain. It hasn't worked
yet.
The one thing I've bought is a little ceramic Scrooge figure that was on
sale for $4. He stands on my desk at work. I would very much like to have
a decent Scrooge tie.

I can't say anything about that. Barks have signed the press-information, but
it's on "Barks Studio" stationary.

Just wanted you to know that there is some items at the disney stores
around the country (world) that carry cartoon figures. There are
production cels from Goof Troop and DuckTales available for purchase
but are usually kept in an animation art binder behind one of the
cash wraps. There is also a Scrooge serigraph cel available.
There is also a limited edition Ron Lee piece of Scrooge McDuck also
available from the stores. The art ranges in price from $250 (US) to
several hundred and the Ron Lee is about $175 (US)
Remember there are stores in Europe now too.
Hope this is useful information

Scrooge merchandise

I empathize with all you ducks who search unsuccessfully for U$ merchandise.
I am a former Disney World employee and over the course of my stay there
very rarely found anything. One thing I have is a small juice sized glass
made by one of the better Japanese glassware manufacturers. This glass was
only available in the large gift shop in the Japan section of World Showcase
at EPCOT Center.
I did see a Scrooge T-shirt at the Disney store in the local mall about a
year ago - purple with U$ embroidered in the pocket area. But I had just
bought a Captain Hook and one or two other T-shirts, and had to pass. I never
saw it again. --- The embroidered character shirts tend to be limited in
number, with new designs periodically replacing the old. Also, two or more
Disney stores in the same geographic area tend to carry slightly different
merchandise. So keep looking.
I picked up one of those 5-packs of DD today - I got #10-14, published by
Disney and decidedly more juvenile than we're used to.
Happy Holidays!

into the list. Next time I get out to the garage, I'll have another look.
Do you really think Scrooge could forget Don's tangle with Glomgold?
ALL: On the subject of Disney merchandise, has anyone ever seen a US
cookie jar? My wife has a large collection, and would like to get one. I
recall seeing a US bank, complete with brass-rimmed spectacles, some years
back, but have never come across a cookie jar. Thanks.

I don't know that I agree with that piece of logic. You might recall an
entire vacation based on one picture, at least all the good parts, but I'll
bet you cannot even recall the face of the person who may have served you
dinner all those years ago. We all tend to remember what we hold precious,
and $crooge COLLECTS money like we collect comics or stamps. I certainly
can't picture all the comic vendors who sold me those issues I hold so dear,
but I know the stories and whn I bought them.

<US remembering all his coins>
Whether it is logical or not that US is able to remember where he got all
his coins is not important. But it is the idea that he does what counts.
The beauty of the idea that US remembers the source of all his coins is, as
an example, what makes US so remarkable. If he wouldn't, he would be just
like us ordinary folks and we wouldn't have to chat so much about him in
internet.

WILLIE: The Barks press release sounds a bit funny. I recall Don saying
that he had consulted with Barks by letter and phone about continuities,
etc. when writing LO$. I wonder if this note is really Barks or just his
manager talking.
DANIEL: Scrooge never forgets an injury; neither does Glomgold. I do
remember Ira Goldstein, at whose store I bought all those great 40's and
50's books in Elizabeth, N.J. I still can't see Scrooge forgetting his run
in with Golmgold, even though he didn't know his name.
Sure snowballed, didn't it?
