Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United States...
Here are some of the countries who have Disney character comics.
What are the others? Is there a comprehensive list somewhere?
How about the languages in which these comics are written?
I wanna know for bragging rights! <grin>
Thanks!

I've heard about Disney comics (Egmont) in Laplandish (is that the word
in English?) isn't there less than 47,800 people speaking that?

Was somebody asking about the icelandic names of our favorite comic
characters? Let's see.
Donald Duck = Andres O"nd
Mickey Mouse = Mikki Mus
Scrooge = Joakim Adalond
Goofy = Guffi
Daisy = Andresina
We mainly got our names from the danish version since that was the
only comics we could read before 1980. When the icelandic Disney
appeared, they only did a light translation of the character names
from danish to icelandic.

Right. If I remember well, our (former?) Faroese member Jacob Sparre Andersen
told me about this. He planned to index them as well, but I haven't heard
from him in months...
So it seems there is no _regular_ comic in Faeroese.

Don't know about the Faeroes, but Disney comics in Norway has been printed
in two alternative languages in the 70s and the 80s. In the 70s, some issues
of Donald Duck & Co. was printed for the Same population up north in their
native language, and in the 80s, some albums were printed in so-called
"New-Norwegian", a very similar language to standard Norwegian. I don't think
these experiments were very profitable, though.

Yes, but American geologists now refer to nonporphyritic phaneritic
(but not typically gabbroic) igneous rock as diabase rather than
dolerite :-)

Disney comics from China and India!
Message 145 -
1995-08-24 at 02:43:50
Hi!
Today I went to Amsterdam, where I found a comic-book store
called "Lambiek". They had quite a lot of Disney comics. I also
saw a photo, hanging on the wall, showing Carl Barks visiting
"Lambiek". The reason I'm telling this is, that I bought both
a Disney comic from China and one from India. The one from China
is very small, and (I think) is titled "Mickey Mouse". It only
has two Mickey stories in it, but they are drawn _really_ bad.
And I mean REALLY bad. I almost think that they are Chinese
stories. Could that be possible? I've never seen anything like it.
It's just like they first took an original Mickey-story by, let's
say, Paul Murry. And then tried to copy it, by hand. I must say,
if they did that, they haven't succeeded. As I said, it looks awfull.
For example: if there's a 'sun' in the background, it's not nearly
round. Even I could make a better sun, without a pair of compasses.
The second comic is one from India. I think the title has 'Disney' in
it, but I'm not sure. Don said it's hard to understand Greek. Well,
this is IMPOSSIBLE to read!
Anyway, now I can add both India and China to my 'Disney-comics-
publishing-countries'-list, and maybe add China to my 'Disney-stories-
publishing-countries'-list.
HARRY:
You said that you always go the your Disney comics store in Amsterdam.
Did you mean the one in the Soembawastraat with that? Or do you also
go to "Lambiek"? I have to admit, "Lambiek" is a great shop. The
pity of it is, that I have to travel for 2 hours by train, to get
there. And 2 hours back! That makes ... uuuhh! ... FOUR hours!

Hi!
PER:
Today I found a book called 'The Golden Directory to the Internet'.
It had thousands of websites, newsgroups and mailing lists in it.
I looked at 'Disney comics' and I found the following Mailing list:
Disney-Comics at student.docs.uu.se
Is that the same as "Disney-Comics at Minsk.docs.uu.se"? Or is it
another mailing list? It also said that this "Disney-Comics at student.
docs.uu.se" was about Disney-comics AND Disney-CARTOONS. Well, THIS
mailing list isn't about cartoons, is it?

Yes! I knew that. I just thought it would be to hard to understand

better than dolerite. I always put diabase in MY cornflakes when
I feel like it. :-)

Yes, it is. It's just a different address of the same mailbox, so to say.
It is clear that that "Golden" book did not get the information from an

This mailing list is about Disney COMICS only. There are other (crowded)
newsgroups and mailing lists about cartoons, theme parks, and Disney on TV.
On this list, one can talk about almost anything, as long as:
- it's about DISNEY, and
- it's about COMICS
(Hm.. Disney-Comics is quite an accurate name for this list...)
