The best source for information is Leonard Maltin's book Of Mice and
Magic. There are also two books out on Tom and Jerry. One's by
Patrick Brion and was published in French and English. I can't remember
the name of the other author.
Also, if you have web access, there is a Hollywood short cartoon
database at
http://www.lib.shizuoka.ac.jp/bettyb.cgi?key=
You can search for Tom and Jerry. Be aware that there was an
earlier series of Tom and Jerry cartoons featuring humans (sort
of a Mutt and Jeff team) made by the Van Beuren studio, and they'll
turn up in the same search. It will also include later Tom and Jerry
cat and mouse cartoons directed by Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones for
MGM.
Please don't refer to the Tom and Jerry films as having been made by
Fred Quimby. Quimby was a business man in charge of the animated shorts
department at MGM from the late '30's to the early or mid '50's. He
had nothing to do with the content of the cartoons. The Tom and Jerrys
are the work of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera.

DON R:
You have said earlier that you pictured the nephews to be born in 1940. But
they appeared in the Taliaferro comic strips already on October 17, 1937.
Was that a goof on your part or just another example of the general
anachronism of the "Duck Universe"; as time in Duckburg supposedly froze at
a given time somewhere in the 1950s I can understand a 1996 Rosa story
taking place in 1950, but does that mean that the timeline can be reversed.
Neither Barks nor Taliaferro invented any time machine, as far as I know.
You can say the nephews were definitely ahead of their time :-).
It would still be nice to see you do a time-travel story, though. And what
about an own series featuring $crooge's relatives like "The Adventures of
Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck"?
When I was looking for the D.U.C.K. dedication in Donald Duck Adventures 29
instead I found three DONNA's. What's the story?
DAVID (I think this is your department):
Why can't foreign Disney publishers publish the uncensored 1949 version of
"Voodoo Hoodoo" or "Treasure of Marco Polo" if they can still publish
banned Gottfredson stories like "Mickey Mouse Sails For Treasure Island" or
"An Education For Friday" (the latter was printed here in Norway in our
weekly in 1994). Could Gladstone print such stories in, say, an album with
glossy cover 'n'all and labelling it as a "Disney Classic!"? Are some
banned stories more banned than others?

Subject: Jr. Woodchucks
ALL
I've always wondered about the Junior Woodchucks Manual and why someone
didn't come up with some sort of published version of this marvelous book.
Obviously, Barks was ahead of his time and the book actually was on a small,
portable CD-ROM. Not much else could contain that much information.
STEVEN ROWE
I've always been an Al Hubbard fan. His inking style is one of those that
almost is hard not to notice. I truly enjoyed his work on Scamp. A prfect
fit.
DEATH NOTICE
Sort of out of our boundary here, but I'll just note the death of long-time
Archie writer Frank Doyle. Doyle wrote well over 10,000 stories for Archie.
He died in Port St. Lucie of throat cancer. He was 83. I had the chance to
meet and talk with Frank once. Bob Bolling introduced us. He was one of those
long-time comics people that you'd like to just sit down over a weekend of
beers and let him talk.

I could easily make a program for that, but we don't have that
much Swedish info from the 90s. Let me give some statistics again.
Lars Olsson and Anders Engwall listed (with help from Kjell Crone
and Martin Olsen) the following years of Swedish Kalle Anka:
1948 through 1982: all issues
1986 and 1987: all issues
1994: only a few issues
So in fact almost everything *except* from the 90s is indexed. 8-)
> the name Walstaen is not very Celtic and shouldn't be used.
Since it already was used in the first Rota viking story, it should be
used in the second. (I like a little continuity, and I even got a life too.)

Please, no! The story atmospheres and drawing styles are so totally
different. I think both Rosa and Rota fans would dislike a mix-up like
that.
> The fans *love* a cross-over! :)
Well, maybe a minor textual reference. Mentioning "MacDuich" in the
Rota story would be quite OK.

I know, but since it is most unlikely that someone who wrote a lot
*and* drew a lot didn't draw his own stories a lot, I think the outcome
is a good indication for the original question.

Rota was left out because the database doesn't list the writers of
most Rota stories. A credit is only included if we're certain, so a
statement "Rota wrote most of his stories" does not help.

Some more thoughts on newsprint and the "rising paper costs" which supposedly
has led to the decline of the comic book: My LA Times this morning must
weigh over two pounds. A comic book, even with a slick cover, must weigh
maybe one or two OUNCES. The LA Times has color photographs on the front of
every section. A comic book has perhaps twenty 6 1/2" X 10" pages of colored
illustrations, probably no more in total space than my Times. The Times
employs hundreds, if not thousands, of editors, writers, colorists, and
artists. A single comic book is produced by maybe twenty, if you count the
"comptroller", "lithograph manager", "creative development", and all of the
other hangers-on. SO WHY DOES MY LA TIMES COST 50 CENTS, ONE-THIRD AS MUCH
AS A CHEAP COMIC?
Something is very wrong here. I know that collectors and speculators have
had a lot to do with it, but I can't help feeling that the comic industry has
been as mismanaged as the American auto industry and Apple computers.
HARRY FLUKS:
>>I don't see why someone would post anonymously or under an

>>Anyway, I hate to talk to people I don't know the name of.
(Tch, tch. You shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition:>)
My real name IS Robert D. Here on America OnLine we all use "screen names".
Being from the Netherlands, you probably can't fully understand conditions
in America. I have been harrassed, called names, and even had one death
threat leveled against me in the past year. After the death threat I swore
off using anything that resembled my last name. So you're going to have to
be happy with my REAL first name and last initial. Sorry.

Steve mentioned that Jerry Siegel had written a Junior Woodchucks story,
and Don is quoted in "The Comics Journal" #184 for reporting that Siegel
wrote 'surreal' Scrooge and Donald stories for Topolino, Italy.
I remember that description from this list, probably from Fabio,
and though the word 'surreal' is widely misued nowadays, Siegel's Disney
stories are closer to, say, Darkwing Duck (with stress on 'Dark' as in
'Dark Knight') than the usual Disney style.
(The word 'absurd' fits perfectly with Strobl's Fethry stories, though.)
Frank then listed three stories, and I believe "The Heroism Machine",
illustrated by Giorgio Cavazzano from TL 878 September 24.th 1972, was the
very first to be published.
But Siegel wrote many stories for Topolino for most of the important Italian
artists, though to my knowledge none for Marco Rota and none with the JWs.
I've identified 42 published in Danish and intend to spend the weekend reading
them in chronological order.
Anyone interested can mail me a request for the index. Residents of the Egmont
Union can use it with little difficulty in calculating the issues, but all you
Americans would just find it annoying if it was to appear on the mailing list.
BTW, I know Harry could make you a list if you asked, but I haven't sent him
the latest updates yet, so mine is better: I did it by hand BTW, because my
'grep' decided not to recognize "JSg". Wonders never cease...
More news for David: As predicted "The Egg Collector" doesn't seem to
appear in Denmark this year, but a story with Horace, which I first thought
to be yours, partly because of the code, D 94028, was in issue #15.
Goofy and Mickey in their VTOL(!) prevent Horace being robbed by Pete and
an unknown accomplice - a weasel with one of those French hats.
Coincidentally, also today I recieved Dutch #14 with another of those
Horace story Harry described. As always in Duch issues the art is good, but
there's not much room for a deep story-line in 3 pages. There's plenty of
dialogue, though, which would probably go down well in a good translation,
as we usually see them in American editions. (Hi, David & Dwight!)

Robert D. wanted to know why the LA Times was less expensive than a Comic book.
The two, to my mind obvious, answers are
a) circulation
b) advertising.
Make a comparison between how large a proportion of the LA Times is taken up by
ads, as compared to a Gladstone comic book; then go figure how much more the
(probably?!) much larger circulation of the Times allows them to charge per
inch of advertising as compared to small fry like Gladstone.

In our database, we have most of the USA comics and albums
indexed. Only a few (recent) things are missing:
Donald Duck: (293-)
Donald Duck Adventures: 33, (39-)
Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse: 2, 4, (6-)
Donald and Mickey: (31-)
Uncle Scrooge Adventures: 35, (39-)
Walt Disney Giant: 2, 4, (6-)
The CB Library of DD Adventures in Color: 1-5, 7-8, 10-13, 15-
The CB Library of WDC&S in Color: 49-51
The CB Library of U$ Adventures: 1-
If anyone would care to index them for me, I'd be much obliged.
In case of the CB albums, I can guess what's in them, but I would like
someone to comfirm the exact contents.
Also, would someone please send me an updated Norwegian
Don Rosa index?
Thanks in advance.

I sent the Barks-Interview to Per - everything else is up to him.

I will post some key-quotes in the original, when I find the time to
type them from the cassette.
JUNIOR WOODCHUCKS
They published a Book called something like the JW-Handbook in German
back in the 70ies, which was outdoor-activity kind of book (how to
start a fire, hao to recognize trees etc.) with nice illustartions.
It was one i a row of several similar books "Donalds smart book",
"Gyros inventions book" and so on (this is from memory, so errors may
occur) - I'm sure they have been publshed in other (european)
countries too. (I could dig up more info, if somebody's interested).
Currently they run a "JW-Book" in the German "Micky Maus" - this are
cardbord-pages which you are supposed to collect and put in a ring
binder you can order from them. It contains informations about
animals etc.

Thank you for the information!
