Hi!
DON:
Wow! Thanks a lot for the story about what you're working on. Very
interesting stuff. It's incredible to know about all the research you do.
You said: "So, we decided to set that script ..".
Who's "we"? Is that you and Byron Erickson?
MIRANDA:
David told you about the British version of the Dutch "Disneyland".
He didn't know the address of the publisher. Well ... here it is:
Fleetway Editions Ltd,
Egmont House
25-31 Tavistock Place
London WC1H 9SU
I don't know if this English "Disney and Me" has a Winnie the
Pooh-story every time too. I only have one copy of Disney and Me
and that issue only has a Dutch Pooh-story of two pages. "Disneyland"
has a WIN-coded Pooh-story every week, but unfortunately for you, that
magazine is in Dutch!
Bye!

From Minnefornia to Calisota

HARRY:
>No, I didn't start that. I only mentioned the name "Minnefornia" once.
>The slogan discussion was started by Wilmer Rivers ("Who else?" 8-).
Actually, it was Wilmer that I was quoting--or though that I was quoting.
Wilmer said, "Expanding on an idea which Harry (who else!) posted here a
while back, I suppose the slogan could be 'Calisota: Gateway to
Minnefornia!'" So I gather that "Minnefornia" was you idea, but the slogan
idea was Wilmers? (What else? ;-) )
Anyhow, I don't recall your original reference to Minnefornia. Were you
proposing that as an alternative name to Calisota?
TODD:

Well I hadn't thought of that, but it seems like an obvious choice for a
beverage now that you point it out. We have joked from time to time about a
beverage in a smaller pachage named after my home state: "MiniSoda." ;)
NEAL:

Hispanakota is a rare language indeed! I've never heard it spoken
before. Expanding on what you and Wilmer suggested, though, perhaps
"Minnefornia" would be derived from "minne"=water and "fornia"=Fornicate to
give "Wet Sex." <GD&R>
ALL:
I was thinking about radio and telivision call letters; in the US, those
east of the Mississippi start with "W," while those west of the river
start with "K." (States the the river runs through can use both.)
So given Don Rosa's positioning of Calisota, its station call letters
would start with "K."
Some possible stations could be KCUD and KDHR. Anyone have others?

I must admit it took me a while before I found out what you meant
with "KCUD" and "KDHR". These would indeed be good inside-jokes
if a radio station is needed in a story!
(A hint for the still looking: Don's third name is Hugo.)
Here's a non-dcomics question: WHY the letters K and W?

Does anyone know which paintings or lithographs Barks did
after he stopped doing them for Another Rainbow? Our
"oils" list has the following:
CB OIL 141 was the last Barks painting for Another Rainbow.
CB OIL 141 ('94) US D:Rich Finds at Inventory Time
CB OIL 142 ('94) DD D:Surprise Party at Memory Pond
So at least "Invasion of Privacy" should be added. Any more?
Any description of this oil? Or is it another lithograph made of
an old painting?

In Reply to Harry,
In reference to Barks' "Invasion of Privacy," this is a lithograph
of a watercolor, and is not an oil painting. So, I guess you
might want to hold off on adding it to the list of oils (??). It
has Scrooge in his money bin reading a newspaper headline showing
that the Beagle Boys are out of prison. He is looking up with a
surprised expression as a large drill bit emerges upward through
the money, almost nipping him in the derriere.

I can do one better! In one frame in the Gyro story "Mighty But Miserable"
in OS 1184, you can see a bus packed with no less than 13 BB's. Some of them
are only visible as silhouttes, though.

It's the last Junior Woodchuck-story scripted by Barks. It's about a
noisy wrist watch, given to the C.O.D.F.A.T.H.E.R. by the Junior
Woodchucks. For some reason they decide to catch fishes on the sea,
while the noisy watch causes some problems.
It's not a great story IMO, Barks has scripted much better Woodchuck-
stories than this one (there are really some very good ones among them).

I believe that Carl has just finished two new oils both based on "Christmas

and another painting has the bear chasing Scrooge as the theme.
Another watercolor that was available at the recent Museum of Cartoon Art
dinner in NYC was entitled "Food Chain." included DD and the
nephews..Donald was being chased by a variety of wild animals while HD&L
were sitting out of danger on the top of a vehicle
