Surely not being born doesn't stop a person like Oscar Wilde.
Seriously he appears among the creators as he's credited with the plot
for one story in the Database. You will find William Shakespeare
there as well. As those fellows couldn't work directly for Egmont or
Gladstone or even for Western they had to publish their works in other
ways and then wait for someone else to adapt their stories into Disney
comics stories. Surely not ideal working conditions, but plotting
Disney comics was never easy work.
Taking a look at the index pages for those two I find that they are
empty however, as all stories involved are "unsolved" in the database.
I'll fix it so that creators whose indexes are empty will be excluded
for the creator list.

Hi!
HARRY FLUKS:

Of what I've seen in Italian Disney comics, I noticed that they always keep
the dollar symbols. I think that's the best way. Is that in all Italian
Disney comics?
Maybe they do that, because if Scrooge would have filled his money-
bin with Italian lires, the entire contents of the bin would be worthless? ;-)

That's probably because the Spanish Disney publisher is so busy printing
credits with every story and sending copies of their issues to the creators
of the stories. They don't need to do that in Holland, so that's why they
could comment on your letter so fast! ;-)
Naaaahhh ... this is a sick joke. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!

Are you sure you want to see those? ;-)

In the beginning of the letter, they said that they'll send it by SAL. Is
that the same term as they use in the States? In case it's not: There
are three ways of sending something to foreign countries in the Netherlands.
You can send it all the way by air-mail. Then the package would fly to,
for instance, New York and then with another plane to your place. You could
also send it by SAL, which means that it's going to fly by plane half the
way, until it is in New York, where it will be transported further by land, like
trains! And the last one is the slowest one, where there won't be any
airplanes at all and the package will go by boats, trains and trucks.

What do you mean? When you type a "$" (that's above the letter "4" on my
keyboard), people in Europe get the sign of their own currency? No, that's
not the case! We all get dollarsigns. I think that's because the dollarsign
is number 36 in the ASCII-table and that means that it is the same everywhere!
I think the letters that may be different on other computers are the letters
with the ASCII-codes above 128 (like ë, ô, û and ç), because then they are in
the extended ASCII-set and those can be different elsewhere. Am I right?
HARALD HAVAS:

I've also seen it in the stores in Holland! I have a Panini-album called "Donald
Story" (1991) and for that album, there were lots of stickers with even panels
from Barks-stories. Isn't that the case with "That's Donald"?
For everyone who's not familiar with the Panini albums, there's an article
about Panini on my website in the Special Features-section (choose number 10).

in a story is there because of me. Many people who work in the business
probably won`t understand that, but for me that would really be a great

There is now that kind of pasta, but it did'nt exist (or at least was not
popular at all) when the "scones/stones" story first appeared in Italy. And
anyway the story carries on clearly dealing with pancakes (er... scones) so
the reference to pasta wouldn't have made any sense anyway.

Aha! That was the next one I was going to ask help about!
The italian translation has "alci" ("mooses") everywhere. We readers guess
that somewhere there must be some misunderstanding between $crooge and the
nephews, but I never could say what.
Who's willing to tell me how the pun goes?
And what about other countries? Did they attempt a translation anywhere?
>Puns are a translator's nightmare.
I remember the first time after many years when the UK devalued the pound
sterling. It was, if I remember well, a strip with the Wizard of Id.
Blanche comes in running: "My God, they've devalued the pound! I wonder how
much I'll weigh now!"
In Italy we have two definitively different words for the pound sterling
("sterlina") and the weight unit pound ("libbra"). In the translation of the
strip, they used "libbra", which of course didn't make any sense.

Yeah, sure. That's from WDC 397 (AA 74-49), right?
As others already pointed out, there are several other stories along these
lines. I think the oddest pairing has to be the one where Scamp becomes a
super pup like this. I don't think the characters from the Scamp universe
ever mixed with characters from elsewhere -- except here. This oddity can be
found in WDC 357.

I think you should include Ludvig - besides his Italian appearances
he is quite commonly known in the German speaking araea - and with
about 100 million people this is the biggest language-chunk we have
in Europe. I think a lot of people around here like him because of his
seemingly German name (Prof. Primus von Quack BTW), making him the
only duck with German origins. (In some comics it's even claimed, that
he's from Austria! Yeah!)

$ vs. Taler
Yes, the Germans remove all the $-references (on Srooges money-bin
you would find a giant DD - for Dagobert Duck), which is kinda sad,
BUT: "Taler" is an ancient, more or less mythological, currency! For
Cents the translator (Fuchs again) used "Kreuzer" - but the actual
currency in Germany is, of course, Mark and Pfennig. If this was done,
because the German edition also appears in Austria (Schillng and
Groschen) and Switzerland (Franken and Rappen) and German-Speaking
North-Italy (Lira and - now extinct - Centesimi), or just to remove
the whole money-thing from reality, I dont know.
It certainly adds to the "out of this world" feeling the German
Duck-comics radiate, putting Duckburgh on a very mythological plane.
"Taler", BTW is the historical source for - tataa - Dollar...

Scrooge asked for 100 geese, but the letter "g" was burned off
the note, leaving "eese." The nephews assume Scrooge must have
meant 100 "meese," but meese are hard to catch and content
themselves with just the two. The problem here is that the real
plural of moose is moose. One moose, two moose, three moose.
There is no such word as "meese." The joke has to do with
irregular English plurals, since the plural of goose is geese.
It's just not a mistake anybody would make, and it's always
seemed to me a weak part of that story. Harry Fluks mentioned
that the Dutch translation based it on confusion between ganzen
and elanden, with the artwork changed to add another hole in the
note so more letters would be missing, and that seemed to me to
be far more plausible than the original.

Hi!
About UNCLE SCROOGE #300:
They colored the Van Horn-story in this issue a little wrong. The entire
purpose of the story is that the ducks find some guy on an island wearing a
red feather on his hat. The ducks know that the guy's feather is red, because
they've seen and spoke to him on the fourth page. Only problem is, they colored
his feather blue! Hah ... what a joke!
About SINGAPORE COMIC:
Talking about mistakes, I received a Mickey Mouse comic from Singapore
today. Looks terrific. There are reprints from Danish and Dutch stories in it,
including a Dutch story coded H8112. The story is titled "Uncle Scrooge in Hat
Chasing". Only problem is that Scrooge isn't even in that story. The story is
only about Donald. They even printed a line on the cover saying: "Uncle Scrooge
in Hat Chasing". Hah ... what a joke!
About DANIEL VAN EIJMEREN:
I just want to say that Daniel has some problem with his internet provider.
His provider stopped providing, so now he doesn't have internet-access anymore.
We hope that he'll be on-line again soon. Until then, we'll have to do without
him here ... If anyone has any important messages for Daniel, he can write me or
Harry and we'll be able to contact him by phone!
To HARALD HAVAS:
> D.U.C.K.?
It means "Dedicated to Unca Carl from Keno", 'Carl' being Carl Barks and 'Keno'
being Don Rosa and 'from' being an English preposition. It's not only on the
first pages of Rosa's stories, but also on most of his covers.

Did I miss something, or wasn't there supposed to be a reprint of
Walt Kelly's gremlin material in WDC&S 606? Has it been killed
or rescheduled, or has it already appeared? Please let me know.

JONATHAN:
Gladstone has no plans to publish any Superduck stories. This might change
if our Pennywise books prove successful; they, even more than the late but
largely unlamented Walt Disney Giant series, are geared to presenting more
offbeat material than our regular titles.
PEKKA:
I wish I could tell you about The Duck Man video tape, but I haven't seen
it. However, I do know more about the tape cover than anyone else on the
planet!

Hi, OLE! (Sorry to all the others, but I couldn't reach Ole
under his private email address
(Email removed)
since last sunday. So I decided to put this message on
the list, although it is of no common interest.)
You wrote to me on the Disney Comics mailing list:

Yes, you're right. I'm new on the list. I'm there since #196.
Thanks for the information on where to send my Super-Duck
index. I discovered that I have to do some more work on
the index before I can send it to Harry. Namely I have not
written down the story code numbers yet. As I saw from
other indices on the Disney Comics net pages this is
what has to be done. Up to now I could only provide the
German titles of the stories and where they were published.
But that wouldn't suffice. Also you couldn't use this to
'double cross check'.
As soon as I have completed this work, I will send the index
to Harry and to you. But unfortunately this could take some
time, since I have these comics at my parents place (270
km from here) and since I will go for a 10 day holiday on
Friday.
