And what the hell did they need to change that button to a microphone
if the albatross had a one too? And Scrooge can make the money-bin door open
by making a sound of a horse?! Absolutely ridiculous. And then he even has a
horse on the money-bin yard!!! Why would he use a horse carriage anyway?
And in the Barber's... Huey: "The shop doesn't look strange at all."
Louie: "Guess not. Maybe all barbers have a long beard." They have lived too
long with Donald. And when leaving the shop: "I bet they have nothing to do
with the bird who stole Uncle Scrooge's jacket button." A whole bunch of
clues so obvious and they don't even suspect anything!
And then they find the giant horse covered with gold. And Beagleboys
have been lurking inside it all the time! If they really have enough gold to
build a thing like that and set up all that treasure hunting, why the hell
aren't they content with that? Or why don't they just make a horsish sound and
get in the money-bin?

I positively agree with you while saying that he should've had somebody
read the story for him and point the bad parts.

>--- Daniel, still a Barks fan ;-)

Me too. Although I do think this was his worst adventure yet.

The reason HDL call Daisy "Aunt" is probably because she is an elder
woman. And do remember that HDL have had dates with AMJ. If they were cousins,
this would sound pretty, well, censored, in lack of a better word. And in
some stupid stories Daisy, Donald and Gladstone are even all stated as cousins.
But as Don says (good thing somebody finally did) in his family tree, Daisy,
April, May and June are NOT relatives to the Duck family.

MIKE about a center of the earth story:

| There was a pretty poor one published lately in a pocket-book where
| Scrooge, Donald and HDL went to center of the Earth to find "Keeper of Time"
| or something corny like that in order to undo something.

In a pocket book? In Norway this story was published in a new mammoth book
(510 pages). If it was published in a regular pocket book in Finland,
this means that the Egmont pocket books are not the same?

It doesn't matter so much. I just wonder if all the stories that were
published in Germany, at least, before they started to synchronize the
pocket books will ever be published here.

ALL:

At last here is Brazilian _Pato Donald_ #2062. Does anybody know
something about these stories?

"O Cinto Linguarudo" (I.PM. 139) Donald has trouble while using
Gyro's smart-responding belt.

"Baba' de Gato!" (D 93122): DD & HDL take care of neighbor's cat.

"Bingomania" (D 92172): Donald chases a big-prize lottery ticket.

"No Corac,a~o da A'frica) (H 89151): Disguised as U$, Donald meets
tribal king and trades a TV set for a diamond.

Well, it was pocket book #182, which however did have two times as
many pages as an ordinary pocket book. Do you know who is the drawer of that
story? I think he could make some nice art-work if he didn't make them in
such a rush and with poor stories like that.

I need to find Egyptian references in American comics for a possible
paper on Egyptology in the comics. I'd appreciate any references
people could send. I've thought of:

Dr. Fate (Golden Age)
Hawkman (Golden Age)
Thor
Joe Kubert's Bible Stories (or whatever it was called)
Marvel's The Living Monolith
Heru, Son of Aurus
Egypt (DC's current series)
Goofy Adventures (Disney)
Living Mummy (Marvel)

Disney must have something else. Thanks for the help.

Per:
> I answered that I'm not the Disney comics expert on the net

Well, isn't expertise just about to know where to find the knowledge,
rather than to know yourself? 8-)

Mike, about "Horsing Around":
> And what the hell did they need to change that button to a microphone
> if the albatross had a one too?

You will find my explanation to that when you read the past month's mail.

> And then he even has a
> horse on the money-bin yard!!! Why would he use a horse carriage anyway?

That horse was just somewhere in Duckburg, and was attracted by Scrooge's
whinny.

> And in the tailor's... Huey: "The shop doesn't look strange at all."
> A whole bunch of clues so obvious and they don't even suspect anything!

I must admit I found that a quite funny part of the story. But yes,
HDL are not in their usual role.

> And then they find the giant horse covered with gold. And Beagleboys
> have been lurking inside it all the time!

No, they climbed in it after Scrooge shipped it to the Duckburg harbour.
The BB didn't make that horse themselves, BTW.

> I do think this was his worst adventure yet.

Hm.. I can think of a few worse stories... (only a few!)

I got this address from the Internet Yellow Pages. I hope this is right and
I hope you can answer my question

This is a question we discussed last night on night shift where I work, I'd
love it if you could add more to this and compete out list

If Pocohantas is Walt Disney's 33rd full length animated film, what are the
other 32? So far this is what we came up with:

Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Alice in
Wonderland, Robin Hood, The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under, The
Aristocats, 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, Aladdin, THe lion King, THe Little
Mermaid, The Black Cauldron, Beauty and the Beast, Oliver and Company, The
Jungle Book, The Great Mouse Detective, The Fox and The Hound, The Sword and
the Stone, Lady and the Tramp, and Peter Pan

We got a lot of people stating the Don Bluth films he did after leaving
Disney ( Secret of Nihm, Land before Time, American Tale 1&2 and so forth),
but we are looking for the Disney films. Also we got a lot of people stating
Mary Poppins, Roger Rabbit and so forth but they are live action with
animation and I don't think Disney considers them. Also the was some
question about Duck Tales the Movie, The Goofy Movie (with I don't think they
consider). Lastly there are several they don't make a big deal about: the
Winnie Pooh cartoons, Wind and the Willows, Disney Christmas Carol.

Please e-mail me back if you have an answer.
Thanks
