DON:
Yes, I also thought "two great stories in one magazine"-idea
in the Finnish Aku Ankka (notice the spelling :) was a bit disturbing,
especially since my 'sweet' little brother lost the issue. And as
far as I know, this was your first story around Asia, which however
seems to be one of Barkses favorites, so that itself didn't trouble me.
And no, you haven't begged me yet, but you can beg now if you
like ;) I only have one copy (if even that) of each of the magazines with
your story in them, but I oughta find more quick if you need them.
The article about fanmail to you was a few months ago in AA.
They even promised to tell people your home address after a while. And
some rumors have been that they will come to your home and kidnap you
and put behind glass cage, but that hasn't been confirmed yet...:)

According to Alberto Becattini's list of Disney artists, your full
name is Keno Don Hugo Rosa. Is that true? This would mean your
first names represent 3 generations of Disney ducks:
Keno = Gioacchino (It.) = Joakim (Danish) = Scrooge
Don = Donald
Hugo = Huey
Could this still be coincidence? 8-)

Inspired by Harry's and Don's discussion of names, specifically "Huey"
and "Hugh", I would like to raise again a subject about which we specu-
lated once before (maybe 2 years ago). We were in fact speculating
about the "real" names of Donald's nephews. We know that Louie once
corrected someone (maybe a butler?) who addressed him as "Louis", but
don't you suppose that his "real" name is actually "Louis" or "Lewis"
and that "Louie" is just a nickname? I feel certain that "Dewey" is
never a genuine Christian name, since I have never seen it used any-
where except as a nickname for "Duane" or "Dwayne". "Huey", however,
is a legitimate name in its own right, isn't it? Such notables as
Louisiana governor Huey Long, rock singer Huey Lewis, Black Panther
leader Huey Newton, and Harvey Comics' Baby Huey are really named
"Huey" rather than "Hugh", I think. However, someone named "Hugh"
could be called "Huey", I suppose, especially if his parents wanted
triplets with rhyming nicknames. So could the names listed on their
birth certificates be "Hugh", "Duane", and "Louis"? I for one would
like to think that the ducklings were given legitimate names at birth
and then called informally by the diminutive versions. (Just like
Donald/Don and Dumbella/Della in the previous generation on their
family tree.) Go ahead and flame me - that's my (completely unfounded)
opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

WILMER:
Why do you think that the Hueys in Long, Newton, Lewis and Baby were not
nicknames for Hugh or Hugo? Have you seen all their birth certificates?
HARRY:
Speaking of birth certificates, mine is typed "Don Hugo Rosa", with the
"Keno" written in at the front several years later.
My grandfather established the American branch of the Rosas when he came
over from Italy in 1905. I was his first male grandchild, but my father chose
not to name me after my grandfather. To an old world Italian, this was the
supreme insult, and he disowned my father (so I'm told) and wouldn't let him
into the family tile business. My father then worked in the city traffic
department or something like that. Near the end of his life, my grandfather
persuaded my father to change my name (or ADD a name) in the early 50's in
return for being UNdisowned and allowed to join my uncle in the very successful
family business AND $1,000. I wasn't aware of any of this, but I did notice when
we moved from a small home in 1959 to an ultra-modern, beautiful, spacious home
in the country on three acres (six hectares?) which was featured in the Sunday
Magazine supplements of the time. It had things like sunken tile bathtubs,
enormous bathrooms of marble, 20 ft. ceramic tile murals in the stairwell (a
Ming Tree, I recall), and terrazzo floors throughout, even in the furnace room
and closets (terrazzo is something you'd never see outside of a fancy office
building or shopping mall). (You might guess that tile and terrazzo were the
subject of the family business.) All that, and I never use the name of Keno.
And I never got a share of that $1,000, so Disney isn't the first one to
screw me out of my royalties.
And... of course I don't mean that English language comics have ever
called $crooge "Joakim", silly. But of all the pages of comic stories ever
printed about the richest Duck in the world, he has been referred to as
"$crooge" in nearly the fewest of them, considering how many more Duck comics
have been published in Europe while they have sputtered along in America.

Hi, Folks.
Gotta make this VERY brief due to schoolwork pressures. But
here's news for you:
Noel Van Horn isn't through with my first MM story ("Digging Up
Trouble", a mountaineering adventure on Mount Fishflake for Mickey
and Horace), but he did send Egmont copies of his finished pencils
for the story, which I was then given a set of as well.
Since the hypnotism story of late last year (which we liked the
art on, anyway) he has improved a hundredfold from even that. Mickey
is bursting with such energy and enthusiasm (not to mention wearing
his old shorts) that he nearly leaps off the page with personality
and inventiveness. Horace looks great, too, and the backgrounds are
full of lush detail and magnificent scenery. It's sort of like Carl
Barks inking Floyd Gottfredson.
In short: WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE THIS ONE, FOLKS. THIS IS A REAL
MICKEY STORY!
Oh, yeah. Last night I also began my first Duck story of the
year. I obtained permission to use Moe in my stories, this one
happens to include him, and I need someone, if they could, to send me
a few Xerox-copied pages of some other story with Moe just so I'll
have a way to show Egmont how to draw him. Any Moe fans out there
willing to give me a hand? I can send something in exchange.
DON: No need to worry. This story will be firmly in the Barks
tradition. I'd never do anything otherwise (well, okay, I guess I've
sinned enough by mentioning that I WOULD pair DD and MM now and
then. >Sigh!<).

P. S. I believe that Dewey is indeed a real first name. Also,
no matter what anyone says, I imagine that "Dumbella" must be
Donald's pet name for his sister from when they were kids. A
nickname for Della (not the other way around). No one could really
name their poor daughter Dumbella. (Note to non-English speakers:
a dumb-bell means a total idiot.)

He is indeed "lovely". He has been used a lot in recent stories in Denmark

Is that "Pjaske"? I was going to ask about this character, which I just
ran into for the first time when I was reading that Danish "Christmas
Classics" collection of Italian stories I picked up in Denmark this
past November. There's a Scrooge story featuring "Onkel Joakim" and
a little-kid duck named Pjaske. Pjaske has a more pointed beak than
the other Ducks and seems younger and more childlike than HD&L. I was
wondering if this character is some Italian creation unknown on the
North American continent? (I don't have the book with me, so "Pjaske"
is from memory -- I may not be spelling it right.)
