KATHY:

On 9 September (a long time ago, I know) you said:

I discovered this question while cleaning up my mailbox by writing
files to a diskette, as far as I know it's not answered.

I can't give you an answer either, but maybe I can when you tell me a
little more about the story?

The quote sounded familiar to me and you made me a bit curious which
story it was.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was already a back-issue. Yes, buy this
comic for me if you want. Normally Harry buys the comics for me
(because he visits those "faraway" comic-shops more often than me),
but I don't know if he bought this comic for me. When he comes back
from his vacation it might be much too late to buy it if he didn't.

I really don't want to miss Don's Family Tree. Especially because we
have a redrawn version here in Holland.

On 1 September I wrote about it (see digest #772):

) I might be slightly wrong, but as far as I know there are no
) specific Mickey comics in the USA. (I'm from Holland.) There was a
) comic called "Mickey and Donald", but that one doesn't exist
) anymore (?).

) So, for Mickey stories, you'll have to read Disney-comics which
) have some Mickey stories included.

Jacob Sparre Andersen commented to this with:

) I have a single issue of a "Mickey Mouse Mysteries" from 1990. So
) there have been something not too long ago. - I didn't like the
) stories in that comic btw.

) There's a "Mickey Mysterier" monthly in Danish, that has some nice
) (imho) stories. The format is 96 (or rather 94) pages pocket book.

And Arthur said:

) Hasn't ["Mickey and Donald"] been changed into "Donald Duck and
) Mickey Mouse"?

For a good place to buy older editions you can try specialized comic-
shops, second-hand shops and comic-conventions.

Daniel,

Oog. Which means I dcan't conjur up the story that went with the quote
which of course would make it easier for me even to find it.

Here is what I am almost positive of: It was from Gladstone's first run,
seems like it was in the splash panel that started the story. It certainly
involved a Donald scam that the nephews frowned on. Pfui (fooey Nero Wolfe
style)!

I will devote this weekend to going through what collection we have. It was
during the stage of Gladstone's first run before we realized that we had
been giving away a national treasure, so we may not have it.

Thank you kindly for offering and remembering my question! If I find out I
will post it.

Kathy

Hi!

>> (approximate) quote is from? Made by Huey, Dewey, and Louie, "There

>> with himself!"

Well, it's a little difficult to guarantee anything when I mostly read
norwegian translations, but it sounds very much like you're talking about
the "April fools" story where the nephews try to fool DD by putting wallets
in front of him on his way to go fishing. After several unsuccesful attempts
where DD gets money each time I think one of HDL comes up with the quoted
sigh as they hang around in the bushes.

Sorry, don't have any story codes or anything here, but I reread that story
a while ago after this question came up and thought it looked familiar.
Didn't realize it never was answered...

P.S.: A curiosity _not_ related to Disney _comics_, but at least still
Disney: At the moment there are a total of 6 movies running at the theatres
in Trondheim allowed for children down to 7 years old. 3 of these are Disney
movies: "Sleeping Beaty", "Pinocchio" and "101 Dalmations"! Just struck me
as beeing a little uni-cultural...

Hi!

I guess TIST will be the acronym for "The Incredible Shrinking Tightwad"? I
read the second part and still am curious as to how this is going to end...

But Don, seems to me you have left the realms of realism in this one? Some
things which I didn't find very realistic (I might be totally wrong, of
course, in which case I'd very much like to know):

- Why should you have trouble seeing big things far away just because you're
small?

- Same for hearing, why shouldn't they hear everything clearly?

- Did you try to calculate how long DD & U$ would use climbing up that pole
at their current size?

- And they would have to be quite strong to hold on to that hand on the way
up...

Not that I mind too much, really, just doesn't fit too well into your other
physics related stories.

I like the way U$ and DD have totally different reactions to the trouble. DD
is the desperate one while U$ attacks every new problem with stubborn
optimism. Looking forward to the last part...

P.S.: Which colour _should_ the Maltese Phalcon have, BTW? Can't remember
what it was made of, but at least it's colored gold in norwegian DD&Co.

Don:
I've got a question from a friend I promised to ask you:
Why did you hide "DONNA" three places on the
D.D.Adv. 29, "Tour de Jour" cover? Was this just an
one-time experiment?

It sounds like a great idea for a story in these emancipated times.
What do you say Don? Could you do "The First Girl Woodchuck" or doesn't
it fit in with Barks good enough?

I can imagine HDL when they're trying to cooperate with the first girl in
their troupe.
