A little shameless self promotion for the mag I work for:
Comic Book Marketplace...issue #40 (Oct)..after slogging through 40+ pages
of the Neal Adams spotlight portion of the magazine there is a two-page
breath of fresh air entitled "Barks & Taliaferro, the dream team of the
DONALD DUCK DAILIES" by yours truly (but not without the invaluable help of
David Gerstein who doggedly pursued an un-named person to provide me with
the Donald strip)
Issue #41 (Nov) has a knockout article by D. Gerstein entitled "CAT 'O FINE
TALES" a wonderful look at Felix with never before seen reproductions in
the color section.
Issue #42 (Dec) will have an article entitled "HEN'S TEETH & DUCK FEATHERS"
looking at my survey (thanks for those who participated) of those pesky
hard to find, and sometimes obscure duck books. This article does NOT look
at the mo$t valuable...just hard to find. Mag should hit the stands
mid-November.
Those wishing back issues, please contact me.

Well, I dont know about the US, but... doing a hard cover for albums
raises the production prize about *gasp* ONE Dollar around here...
All of which doesnt stop publishers to ask for about 10 $ more for the
HC-books...

Are you SURE?!? I mean, about the GERMAN publisher?! As far as I
know, Ehapa-Germany is the only Disney-Comics-producer in Germany,
and they do nothing but reprints. I mean, I never heard of a book
with original art by Ehapa - has anybody else? The only thing that
comes to mind is the "Minnie-Magazin" that has been published by a
small Austrian company before the rights returned to Ehapa.
So the question remains: do they produce comics? And from Jippes
even? The only other explanation I have is that it could be an
advertisement gig - producing short stories for Nestle as freebies
for some products of theirs. Who can investigate this?

Well, me neither. In the character card she's shown with a yellow hat
with two feathers, a green dress (old-fashioned), a yellow necklace,
a red handbag and (one?) blue glove. All this and lipstick too. Her
name's given as "Fraulein Fuchs" (Erika? ;-)
Speaking of this - maybe there IS use for my reading and posting of
the CC (character cards) here after all? Besides obvious nonsense
("What would XY do with a million Taler?") they seem to give accurate
and interesting facts. For example, I forgot that Daisy as heroine
("Super-Daisy"? Still no answer as to her English name) uses
runners/skids(?) on her shoes in order to glide/skate through the
streets (unlikely but inventive). The card reminded me of that fact.
OTOH I received only negative (two - and one neutral) responses as to
if I should continue posting these informations (incl.
zodiac-signs). So, speak up, good people!

Uhm...I think there are some things you need to know about
the Disney comics mailing list.
1. The ML is mainly a gathering of fans and some professionals
who talk about Disney comic books. It is not an official
operation of the Disney organization. I doubt if Disney even
knows about the ML on any official level, though individual
employees might be lurking here.
2. The professionals who post here are mainly writers and
artists for the comic books, which in turn are mainly published
by licensed but independent companies, not by Disney itself. As
far as I know, no one here speaks for the Disney organization.
3. Most of the emphasis here is on the comic books featuring
the classic characters (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, etc.). "Modern"
Disney (that is, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin,
Pocahontas, Hunchback...) doesn't get discussed much, and even
then usually only as far as their comic-book appearances are
concerned.

I'm not an animator, so all I can do is pass along what I've
heard here and there. I guess the important thing is to learn
how to draw. I saw in an article where one animation studio
manager said he was looking for people who can draw -- they can
be taught how to use computers, but they have to know how to
draw in the first place. That includes learning how things
are shaped, how they move in space, how light and shadow affect
the appearance of moving three-dimensional shapes, perspective.
Also: study animated cartoons. Tape them and take a look at them
one frame at a time. Get a feel for limitations as well as
possibilities. See how the professional animators who make their
living at it are solving their problems. Study books, both on how
to draw and on animated cartoons in particular. In fact there's
a new book out by (I think) the animator Milt Gray that specifically
addresses the requirements of becoming an animated cartoonist.
If you don't find it in the art/cartooning section of your local
big bookstore (like Borders or Barnes & Noble), there will be
other books you might find helpful. But for the moment, the first
thing and the simplest advice I can give is learn how to draw. And
draw, draw, draw, draw.

I refer to the mix of astrology and a discussion of Disney comics as
unsuitable from my point of view, since Harald was asking for personal
opinions about how we felt on the subject. If he hadn't made the request,
I certainly wouldn't have bothered to mention it.
As I said, I don't confuse "magic" as presented in the media with false
religious practices that are in wide use, so Magica's antics are okay by
me. But we have presidents of large countries consulting the stars to
discern how to govern, and I find it distasteful to even consider the
giving the subject any pretense of credibility, but that's jsut me and
fellow Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm not going to force anyone else to
subscribe to that.

Dutch, but that means "The Money of Deckselsen Duck," right?

I saw this in a letter in Donald Duck Adventures 27 where you were saying
that "Bartholomew Esteban" was the artist of an uncredited gag in DDA 24.
My reason for agreeing that Esteban was the artist of "On the Ball" and
"Cousin Bruce McDuck" was it looked like "Golden Oldies" in USA 23 which
Gladstone said was drawn by him. OTOH, "The Secret of the Stone" in US 271
which Disney said was Santanach looks nothing like "OtB" and "CBM."
Actually, it just said "Santanach," not "Tino Santanach," so are there two
artists with that last name?

I know he's not a member of this list, but I have this suggestion to
Gladstone: why not just print "landmarks" that are especially important

The story is from Dell Giant Comics 53 (December 1961), art by Tony Strobl
and inks (as usual in those years, I guess) by Liggera. I couldn't find it

In my (Italian) version, LVD says: "my tree will be the most tasteful of all

That "genius" stuff is usual in those early LVD stories, at least it is a

Through the last weeks the norwegian publisher has released two new series
of Disney comics. The first is about Super-Duck. This is one of those
high-tech hypo action things and is called "The time-thief "(Tidstyven). The
last pages is an appendix (a glimps in Super DUcks secret archive)over Super
Ducks weapons and equipment and over some of the main persons, with history
etc. on them (really sci-fi). It hasn't got a story code, but it looks
Italian. Someone who reckons it?
The second is a (ca.)128-pager of The Junior Woodchucks. This also seems to
contain Italian stories, but I haven't checked it out yet. It looks like
Egmont now go heavy on with Italian stories.

Yes, it's Fauntleroy in "Donald gets drafted". You can find it in
print in the book sometimes called "Donald Duck Blue", that is the
blue book really just titled "Donald Duck" by Marcia Blitz.
How "canon" it is you have to decide for yourself, as usual.
But why wouldn't his full name be Donald Fauntleroy Duck? OK, so it
doesn't "have a ring to it" -- maybe that's why he doesn't use that
name himself.
