Has WDC&S #600 come out yet? The comic book store near me at college
(Dewey's Comic City in Madison, NJ - free plug) gets all the Disney
titles and usually has back issues easily available for a couple of
issues afterward. However, when I asked this week they said it hadn't
come out. Is this a case of bad distribution, or just that it hasn't
come yet? (I believe it WAS due out this week...)
Maybe I'm better off this way, though. Save myself some cash. =)

DIGEST #800!!!
GREGER:
Thanks for popping up just now so that I can welcome a special
friend and fellow NAFS(k) member to the group in this 800th edition.
MIKE:
Hadn't I mentioned the date change for my visit to Helsinki? Right,
it will be Nov. 9-13 now. And also thanks for those translations. I'm amazed
they touted that ancient "Mythological Menagerie" story like that. It was my
first DD 10-pager and looks it. They're using it again in the new WDC&S #600
and I would have begged to redraw it for them, but then that would have
defeated the purpose of the issue, I s'pose. (Wince)
LUTZ:
Yes, 28-pagers can be used by Gladstone and in the German albums...
and of course by other non-Egmont companies. But the idea to keep in mind is
that Egmont is arranging work and using a budget for its OWN branches, so
Gladstone's use of the story or other companies' useage would not make a
28-pager seem "worthwhile" in their bookkeeping. Even Ehapa's use in the
German albums doesn't figure into their equation, somehow, being a different
division from the comic publishers. That's why, as much as I'd love to do
nothing BUT long stories, I need to realize these stories are just not of
much use by my "immediate" employer.
JACOB:
I'll probably realize the answer to this as soon as I log off... but
what is BFC? The Swedish Egmont album publisher?

I should have written "BFL". It's short for Bokagrunnur Foroya Lararafelags,
the publishing company of the Faroese teachers union. They are publishing
CBLiC in Faroese in cooperation with Ehapa.

DON:
I've read the first part of "The Incredible Shrinking Tightwad".
Didn't find the D.U.C.K. but I trust it should've been in one of the plagues.
I won't waste your time saying it was great (which it was (now I wasted your
time)) but some questions I might have: A nu-clear-shrinker?-o Used to shrink
weather satellites?! Not very 1955 imho. Nor very scientific. Nor very Scrooge.
Unless the idea of the shrinker was based on an old Barks story, I can't figure
up why would he want to shrink satellites for. And what were the things in his
storage? The ball of string from Transvaal, a saddel from the Badlands, crown
of king Midas from the snow-man, a bottle?!!, guns and pipes (an Indian
story?), a bag (should've they colour it white as in the crocodile story?),
his shoe-shine box from Scotland, a blue machine?!!, a bear-skin from the
Bear Mountain, a miniature drum (seen in Lo$#11. In what Barks story did we
see this too?), square glasses from Plain Awful, a red machine (is this the one
that gives the user the power to control minds?), a telescope coffee-cup and
a make-up donut from two strips, a sled from Klondike, a over-driven coin,
a basket once full of muscot nuts, some books with birds on the cover?!!,
did I miss something? Was this the story which you once asked ideas for? I
remember you mentioning a museum where Scrooge has memorable items. The gag
where the BB joked about HDL all looking the same was great! That's the kind of
thing I read Aku Ankka for. I also noticed you had given them hair (or was this
just the colorer's choice?). What was that toothbrush thing in there? I trust it
was because of the translation I didn't quite get it. And the final question:
How the hell are Donald and Scrooge going to get out of the money-bin?!-O
And I have great trust in the Finnish editors and so I believe we will
_eventually_ see all of your stories. They are now publishing something that
could be called "Carl Barks Library" in Finnish and I wouldn't be surprised
to find "Don Rosa Library" in print soon... Also they publish yearly big
400-page books with Disney comics. A few years ago "The Crocodile Collector"
was published in the year's issue.

The miniature drum first appeared in US 33, "Bongo on the Congo,"
(1960). In the story it was mentioned that it had been given to Scrooge
by a tribal chied, as part of a peace treaty between his mining company
and the natives.

Was it somewhere else than on these pages that I was already saying
that the editors removed the "D.U.C.K." from the splash panel of "The
Incredible Shrinking Tightwad"? I tried to prevent you from looking for what
wasn't there.
I hadn't expected to be asked about all that storeroom stuff tonight
when I sat down here. I'll try to remember to bring a copy of that chapter 1
up to my terminal tomorrow and try to recite all the sources for the items
in the storeroom. I think a few more appear in part 2, and at least one or
two have nothing to do with Ducks... I believe I have Charles Foster Kane's
sled in there somewhere (yes, AGAIN!) as well as things like the Maltese
Falcon (which they miscolored).
The translator omited the small gag about the toothbrush? Why do
they want to confound their readers like that? It wasn't much but at least
it was better than no explanation at all for the toothbrush! (It's hardly
worth explaining -- I think one Beagle Boy was saying he didn't know how
$crooge's grand-nephews could tell whose teeth they were brushing in the
morning, they looked so much alike. Surely the translator wasn't hung on the
idea that the Ducks don't have teeth? That wouldn't matter -- it's the
Beagle Boy talking.)
Well, I'll try to make a storeroom list tomorrow...

"New Toys" and "Best Christmas" were already published in their
original form in the B/W CBL.
Now there are still four give-aways waiting for a good reprint:
"Race to the South Seas", "Darkest Africa", "Atom Bomb" and "Donald
Duck Tells about Kites".
The first printing of those give-aways, back in the 40's, is of a
very good quality. I saw that on xeroxes this week. This really made
me wonder why Another Rainbow didn't reprint them by color-xeroxing
the pages of the original comics (just like they did with a gag in
another set). The B/W CBL also printed other stories (in other sets)
in color, so I don't think colors were a very big problem.

Hi Mouseketeers!
I just finished reading DDA#35, Block & Fernandez's "The Poorest Duck in
Duckburg," the Halloween story that is somewhat of a sequal to last year's
Christmas story -- also featuring Witch Hazel. Y'all know my distaste for
Block & Fernandez's work, although I will say that last year's Christmas
story was my favorite of theirs. "The Poorest Duck" has some of that same
Capra-esque charm, but the story features their trademark disjointedness. I
found the whole premise to be unconvincing. The fact that Scrooge would buy
all the Halloween trimmings in town to keep from having to buy Halloween
trimmings didn't make any sense. Additionally, the Beagle Boys subplot was
pointless. I will say, though, that I did like this story almost as much as
the Christmas one -- certainly much more than the Dragon's Den and that silly
cowboy one they did last year.
