Unfortunately there are hardware problems with the computer with the
WWW server, so it's down a lot. I've heard we are waiting for spare
parts from the USA, so I hope things will get better then.
It's up right now anyway, but I wouldn't bet on it being for very
long.

I think that's a question for Don to answer, he's the artist who made
"The Life and Times of Uncle Scrooge" (Lo$). The serie tells his
opinion about Scrooge's life. (And I sure agree with his opinion.)
He also made a pedrigee (is that the right word?) of Scrooge's family.

Well, here's my answer...
And here's my question:
Can you tell me/us more about you as (I assume) being a Disney-comics

Why do you think we know Barks personally? At least I don't. Maybe
there are *a few* people here who did *see* him during his tour, but
knowing him personally... I don't think so. Maybe you can say that
Don knew Barks personally, but of what I heard that was only a
correspondence about stories and shaking his hands one time.
But... *if* you had a chance to speak with Barks for a minute and you
would be able to ask him some questions: What questions would you ask?
Me, I don't know what I would have asked him.

I think "ignoring" those copyright laws by only sending you that
tape, would be the same as copying a CD for a friend.
But, copyright laws in other countries, as you say. Gianfranco, what
about copyright laws in Italy? I've heard it's a paradise for
bootleggers there.
> I have an index containing those [Barks] scripts, but not for those
> after 1974.
Did you know that Barks also made a script for a Scrooge cartoon,
back in the fifties? It was about a mouse in his moneybin. He draw
story-board of nine pages, but they are lost now. Only his
accompanying synopsis of that cartoon has survived (published in
C.B.L.). The cartoon was never made.
The animated Scrooge only had a brief appearance in Disney's TV show
in the fifties. He did appear in his own cartoon "Uncle Scrooge
Tells about Money" (1967), but I've heard he wasn't very Barksian
there.
ALL: Is there someone who has that cartoon in his collection?

so, too. And the albums are called "Don Rosa", the "U.S.,his

Yes, I was able to buy that album last week. They stupidly

The back cover had a drawing of Donald and Scrooge in the 313 car,

Maybe Don could do a better job... But then again, this story
would take place 8 years after 1966, which is way after Scrooge
died (in the Rosa universe, at least).

any other way. They are copyrighted Egmont property, and are mainly
here as a reference for our Egmont contingent (you there, folks?) but
everyone can probably profit from them.
_The Donald Duck Universe Guide_ and _The Mickey Mouse Universe
Guide_ are Egmont's official versions for now. Both of these are
l-o-n-g guides listing all the places and characters, major and minor,
in most Barks/Rosa Duck stories and Gottfredson Mickey stories
(excepting some of the later Bill Walsh-written ones). It works like
this: Let's say you're writing a story set in a certain region (the
wilderness, for example) and you'd like to make it "canonical" with
references to, or characters from, old stories. Just look in the guide
and BING! You'll learn about your main character's experiences in the
region and who he/she knows there.
_The Mickey Mouse Universe Guide Part 2: Character Humor
Mechanics and Relationships_ has not yet been edited at Egmont and may
not be for a while, but I got permission to post this tentative version.
The same goes for the character guide to Butch (which Egmont must agree
with most of, because I've characterized Butch just this way in my new
stories).
You can find all this stuff at:

No matter what I've been told now, if Egmont begins to object to
what I'm putting up on WWW for any reason, it's gonna get yanked, folks,
so enjoy it while you can. I'm not about to cause myself to get fired.

Wak! I hope those two incidents aren't connected. What I like about
the Beagle Boys is that they're remarkably friendly for villains.
They're likeable villains, even when they get mean (as in US 7 and 8,
which I have a hunch was an experiment because they're never such
"traditional" villains anywhere else). They're "The Terrible Beagle
Boys," but they only pose a threat to Scrooge's MONEY. They wouldn't
kill SCROOGE, because they'd rather enjoy having him shine their shoes
once they've defeated him. Did you really have the Beagle Boys kill
Scrooge to get his money?

That shouldn't be hard to do. Scrambled, or sunny side up? ;-)

WOW! After all these years I thought Donold Duck never had Parents. I
thought he was an orphan. What about all the other characters? In the
next coming issue have a big family reunan.
