Quite possibly so. I can only tell you that I visited a couple of dozen
smaller shops and kiosks as well as one or two major department stores and
the only things I found were the Olé! Disney albums, Disney story books
and Italian(!) Disney comic books.

I can confirm that observation. When I saw Harry in Holland
last year ago, he brought with him a great pile of Dutch DD
weeklies and let me pick out the ones I wanted. Unfortunately,
David Gerstein had been there earlier and had already picked
out the really good ones...(insert smiling emoticon here --

What? First you insist LVD is Huey, Dewey and Louie's father, and now he is
Scrooge's cousin? Why?
Don Rosa says LVD married Mathilda, which makes him Scrooge's brother-in-law.

There is no original Dutch issue. I said the Dutch reserved a code, but then Don
decided to make the story for Egmont. The Dutch code is only in their internal
files, and was never on a printed story.
BTW: why don't you use the WWW Don Rosa index to update your own index?

DON:
I thought your original idea about getting the Wendigo story
published in USA was to redraw all the Peeweegahs to look a little
different, different nose, different hair-cut, different clothing and
so on and so on. What happened to that option?
MAP OF DUCKBURG:
I think there is at least one published version of the map
of Duckburg. It'd drawn by Dan McIntyre and looks a lot like Donald's
head viewed from the side. I think it contains most of the big landmarks
Barks created like mountains and lakes. (It even has a Barks Pass a bit
south of Duckburg :) The map's bad side, however, is that it's terribly
un-city-like. If Duckburg have that small amount of houses, factories
etc. it would have the population of one thousand or so. (I'll write
down all the Barks landmarks in the map for you, Don!)

Some creators and fans enjoy the exercise of harkening-back to prior
stories. I think these things can be quite fun. Don's brilliant turn on
LIFE OF SCROOGE shows this at its award-winning best. The danger comes
when this becomes the *only* way to tell stories and Don has been
careful to point out that this is just *one way* to tell stories. I
agree with you that what serves the characters, serves the story.
Part of the great charm of Barks' creations was that he was a sly
satirist, and Duckburg was Anywhere USA, and Donald, Gladstone, Daisy,
Scrooge and the nephews were exagerations of folks we all knew in one
form or another. When we laughed at Barks' stories, we were laughing at
ourselves as seen in a Barksian mirror.
That made the steadily encroaching future of real-life a bit less
ponderous because we could see life was just humanity as it had always
been: by turns, ignoble, greedy, small-minded, self-absorbed and
self-pitying, but capable of nobilty, sacrifice and ultimately
surrendering to try and do what's right, even if we can't quite bring it
into being. I really mean no exageration when I claim Barks is on par
with Twain. He is pure Americana, with a love of humanity even at its
most base.
Should continuity cops subvert all that charm with an amber-ossified
canon of facts used to drive out whimsical caprice, it would be a
monumental tragedy, no less that they didn't mean to do so.

I once read (in some Kalle Ankas Pocket) Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" with

Didn't you ever read Rosa's, (ehm, written by *Barks*) "The Pied Piper of
Duckburg"? At least *I* noticed the Ludwig von Drake in panel 3, page 3...

Is there a D.U.C.K somewhere on the tree?? I never knew!! I have to check it
out, hold on a minute.

Eh? I can't find it *anywhere*! Can you tell me where it is? (maybe in
private mail, since there might be other guys out there who *doesn't* want
to know...)
See ya again soon!

Harry has so many Dutch DD weeklies, that he always need to give away lots
and lots of them to have room for more! He never goes anywhere without his
gigantic box, filled to the top with old weeklies! (Am I not right, Harry?)
Seeing him in Holland half a year ago, I couldn't get away with less than
5 of them, though I'll *never* be able to read those comics...
(Still the comics *look* good! ;-) )
See ya again soon (only one digest to go)!

A final hi, folks!

Hmm, this sounds *very* familiar some way!

I think I read something like that just last fall, but this time it was about
some old book! I believe the story was called "Guardians of the Lost Library",
or something. Who was the writer again...?
Rosa! That's it, ROSA!
'Scuse be if I'm sarcastic, but *I* wouldn't find it very interesting to
read a new story on an already used plot. I've done this before in *several*
Disney-comics, and they were just boring. I'm sure it's not only I who has
this opinion. However, the first idea wouldn't be too wrong! Not even for
Rosa himself, who *looooove* making time-travel stories! (I've seen it
myself! In both "Back in Time for a Dime" and that King Arthur story)
DON:
[Harry:]
> The Dutch re-penciled the first page of "On a Silver Platter". Was that the first
> _art_ you submitted to them? And after that, they gave up?
What happened to the first version of that page?
HARRY:

It'd be nice to have this code for my index! Can you get me the original
(Dutch) issue?
Afterthought:
While responding to all those digests, I noticed that many of the things I
answered to had been answered by others (like always). But in order to keep
the beautiful length of my letters I didn't delete those. I'm sure
you understand...
;-)
See ya all within a few days!
