I goofed - in that message I just posted, I apparently included all the
mailed header from Wes's original message along with the 2 lines that I
meant to repeat of it. After all the grumbling we have had here about
unnecessary quoting, this takes the cake! Boy, is my face red. Sorry!

These days, you can make your own Uncle Scrooge T-shirt. Just find a b&w
drawing of Scrooge that you like, get it scanned in, color it electronically,
and get it printed out in color onto a T-shirt transfer. If you don't have all
the equipment you need, you can probably find someone who does -- a commercial
service in your area, if nothing else. You wouldn't be able to market it, but
making one just for yourself probably falls under "fair use" of copyrighted
material.

I clearly recall a Barks panel that showed eight Beagles simultaneously.
Not all their numbers were legible. I believe it was in their first starring
performance, "Only a Poor Old Man".
Off-topic just a little: I'm currently hosting my own little forum section in
CompuServe's Funnies Forum, a message board and library devoted to COMICS REVUE
(the monthly anthology of newspaper comics, which I edit). Just to give the
Comics Revue Library a little ongoing activity, I'm uploading KRAZY KAT dailies,
in order, starting with Sept. 8, 1930. I've got a week uploaded now, and will
probably continue them at about half "normal" speed.

ARTHUR:
Our next "project" for our web-foot-site is to wait until we figure out a
way to get more computer space. Right now, the 12 "Lo$" chapters are all we
could fit on, and even then there are a number of additional script pages
and other geegaws that we left out and might try to add later. But once we
find more space, I imagine I will start writing similar (but much shorter!)
discussions of my other stories, in no particular order. I'd probably do the
long adventures first, then work my way down through the short gag stories.
And we'd also see if other writers or artists will have material to upload.
But for the time being, Dan Shane can use a rest. He did a lot of work on
that page, and it's all just a hobby with us, of course... so it would be
less fun if it became too tedious (especially for Dan, who did all the work!).
WES:
As someone else will probably tell you, Calisota was mentioned only one time
by Barks, or by anyone else. It's been used by fan-writers now and then, but
never in the comics until we reintroduced its memory in the "Gladstone Era".
But that one and only use was in "The Gilded Man" in FOUR COLOR #whatsit.
Some postmaster was telling Donald where the letter with the magenta stamp
had been forwarded, and it was "Duckburg, Calisota".
AUGIE:
No, as long as Gladstone has no license to produce Disney T-shirts, they
can't do so even if they put one of their covers on the shirt. Also,
remember it's not Gladstone that owns those cover images, even if they are
the ones who commissioned and paid for them. Those covers are Disney
property. It's probably like the idea of Gladstone posters -- they might be
able to do Gladstone/Disney T-shirts, but only if they gave them away for
free. And we can't expect that in the current marketplace.
But whassa' problem? You can go to a copy-store and make yourself a color
enlargement of your favorite cover, then take that to a T-shirt shop and
have them put it on a T-shirt for you. Or the T-shirt shops probably have
the whole equipment set-up right there. That's okay as long as it's just for
YOU to use. That's done all the time -- T-shirt folks even set up sometimes
at comic conventions and do it on the spot so you can be wearing the cover
of a comic book (or anything else) the same day you bought it.

If you want your favourite cover on a T-shirt, why don't you make that
T-shirt yourself? Here in Holland for example, it's possible to have
your own pictures printed on a T-shirt. If you want to, even a
photograph of yourself. These T-shirts look professional and the costs
are around $20 here. I think I can be pretty sure in saying that
there are lots of such shops in the USA.
So, why wait for Gladstone and/or Disney? They might not even print
your favourite cover.
BTW. I would have such a T-shirt made for me, I would choose for an oil
painting by Barks instead of a cover (if I'd choose for a Barks one). It
would really look beautiful.

Just a few words on these "Disney for grown-ups" (as opposed to "Journal de
Mickey" and "Topolino") in France and Italy.
DAVID:
You ask why in France Tintin, Asterix, Lucky Luke, etc. are far more popular
than the Ducks. Well, I'd say: it's because they are FRENCH! The Frenchmen
value French things (any thing) far far more than non-French things! (Is
there any Frenchman on this list to confirm this?) . Asterix is the most
popular because he defends French integrity! (Yes, I am supposing here that
the French ARE a bit nationalistic. What do you think?).
DON:
You think Zio Paperone is so good. Well, it has great stories, of course,
and is cheap enough; but what terrible translations. After mixing up
Pothole's book with Lo$ in issue #4, do you know what they have done
recently? They dared call $crooge's first dime "FIRST CENT" ! I can't stand
it! Of course YOU can't judge the translations... but now that you know,
what do you think about this?
($crooge's first coin has always been called "dime" ("decino") in Italy in
translations of Barks' stories and in good Italian stories. I must admit
that it was called "cent" in some stories in the 60's -I would say from
Brazil? Or Disney studios? No, no, that can't be; well, if you know them,
those terrible stories with (IMH) bad script and worse art, where Magica and
Madam Mim together
try and get $crogge's first coin... but nevere NEVER could it be a "cent" in
the Lo$!!!!!)

The Disney Catalog, which sells all the overly priced merchandise in the

It came in either silver ($250) or gold ($350), and it sounded as if
nickels, dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces, and dollars are to follow. I can't
imagine a true $crooge fan wanting to own "$crooge's First Cent." Only the

Hi!
TIGGER:
Are you interested in "Disneyland"? As Harry said, it is a VERY
childish magazine, with bedtime-stories and everything. And it's all
in Dutch ofcourse! I guess "Disneyland" is published by De Geillustreerde
Pers, just like the other Dutch Disney magazines. The address is:

DAVID:
You said: "Maybe Gladstone can put the early Mickey from Don in one
of those UPC-boxes on the direct market editions of their books?"
This may sound strange, but I never heard of the term "UPC-box"!
Ofcourse, I know what you mean with it, but can you tell me what
they're for, and what "UPC" means? I'd also like to know what the
color on top of every Gladstone-comic is for!
Anyway, thanks for the explanation on the WDG#5 cover. I guess
you're right about the Disney comics not being popular in France. I never
thought about it, but Marco Barlotti is absolutely right about the
nationalistic Frenchmen. In my previous email, I said that some comics
in France had an average readership of 1 million people. I thought that's
a lot, because that's almost the same as in the Netherlands. But I didn't
think of the fact, that the population of France is nearly 60 million,
while in the Netherlands, only 15 million people live.
DON ROSA:
In January I asked you what stories you were doing, had finished
or were planning to do! Back then, you told me that I'd better ask that
in February again. Well, now it's March and do you think now is a good time
to ask you? Did you say you were going to start on the chapter 6-B story?

I love it! Unfortunately, "Minnesota" is derived entirely from the
Dakota language and the "sota" means "cloud like." "Minne" means "water"
and so the name could be interpreted as "Water that reflects the heavens,"
but is more commonly referred to as the "Land of sky-tinted water."
Putting cloud-like on to the "calif" root would give something more like
"Land of Cloud Formation" which is not nearly as fiting as you suggested
above.
Of course, I've been secretly promoting my signature line below as a
possible slogan, but I'm sure everyone here is sick of seeing it by
now. (And I think I even have it spelled correctly this time...) ;)

Hi everyone...I'm new here on the net so please have patience with my
initial contribution.
I'm involved with a magazine called the Comic Book Marketplace...a
nationally distributed monthly 80 page mag for those collectors, readers
and enthusiasts of the Golden and Silver Age of comicbooks. My mission with
the mag is to introduce the legions of American superhero fans to the
wonderful world of ducks. While much of the information is probably old hat
and basic to many of you...you'd be amazed on how many American readers
still think that the Disney ducks are for "children."
Our next issue (#34) will highlight Carl and celebrate his 95th birthday.
We had about two weeks notice that we had to get this info together so I
pulled most of the graphics out of my own duck library...no one else in San
Diego had enough material to utilize.
But I digress... past articles that I have published include interviews
with Carl and Don, "Ducks in Flux" issue #24 (politically correct Disney);
"Collecting Junior Woodchucks issue #27; "Big Little Barks issue #28;
"Disney's Ousted Ogre" issue #29; "Duckburg's Most Wanted" issue #31;
"Gyro's Gizmos" issue #34 (due out next week!)
Back issues are available...inquiries welcome.
I envy you Europeans who get the Rosa material many months (sometimes
years) before we do "across the pond." Luckily I have a buddy in Denmark
who picks them up on a regular basis. I enjoy collecting foreign versions
of Rosa stories and need Italian copies of LO$...will trade or ?????
Looking forward to many hours of surfing enjoyment...later

pulled most of the graphics out of my own duck library...no one else in San
Diego had enough material to utilize.
But I digress... past articles that I have published include interviews
with Carl and Don, "Ducks in Flux" issue #24 (politically correct Disney);
"Collecting Junior Woodchucks issue #27; "Big Little Barks issue #28;
"Disney's Ousted Ogre" issue #29; "Duckburg's Most Wanted" issue #31;
"Gyro's Gizmos" issue #34 (due out next week!)
Back issues are available...inquiries welcome.
I envy you Europeans who get the Rosa material many months (sometimes
years) before we do "across the pond." Luckily I have a buddy in Denmark
who picks them up on a regular basis. I enjoy collecting foreign versions
of Rosa stories and need Italian copies of LO$...will trade or ?????
Looking forward to many hours of surfing enjoyment...later

Jyrki,
>He did the Winnie the Pooh newpaper dailies some years ago.
A Finnish Mac magazine (Macmaailma 9/94) says that Wallu (Harri Vaalio is
his real name) has done ten Winnie the Pooh adventures for the Finnish
Winnie the Pooh magazine. Well Macmaailma isn't a comic magazine so I don't
know how accurate this information is.
Accorting to my calculation Wallu draws/has drawn eight other comic series
in addition to Pooh.
>I think at least some of that stuff has been translated to German also. Am
>I >right?
Yes. I don't know the German name.
Marco,
>(Yes, I am supposing here that the French ARE a bit nationalistic. What do
>you >think?).
The funny thing with this nationalism is: Tintin is Belgian.
