I have three Colombian Disney comics which are indexed at:
ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/comics/disney/index/colombia/Colombia.issues
I recognize most of the stories in them, but there are some I'm not sure of.
They are:
One page gag by Al Hubbard--Mickey and Goofy are plumbers, and help a cat
out of a tree by building a ladder out of plungers. The database list
"plumbers" in OS 468.
Cover--Donald, wearing a boxing glove, attempts to hit a punching bag, but
his gloved hand smashes through the frame. The db lists CB's "Boxing ball
through wall" in WDC 198.
S 75112--Chip'n'Dale ten-pager, "Joven y Agil," the title means "Young and
Agile." A turtle named Papa William, who talks of having been acquanited
with Napoleon Bonaparte and Lewis Carroll, challenges a rabbit to a rematch
of the legendary tortoise-and-hare race. There is no indication of a story
with this code being printed anywhere else.
Cover--Goofy is a dogcatcher with two dogs running around him in a circle.
Goofy 4-pager, uncoded but looks like S-story--"El Cuc=FA Espantajo," which
means something like "The Frightening Cuckoo." Goofy tries to get away from
alarm clocks, but only finds a field watched over by an immense=
cuckoo-clock.
Tony Strobl one-pager--DD shows HDL the correct way to mount a horse, but
the horse then bucks him and HDL say they don't want get on because they
don't like DD's way of dismounting.

JANE:
Your question is easy to answer! That's "The Second Richest Duck" by Carl
Barks which appeared in UNCLE SCROOGE 15, 1956. The character is Flintheart
Glomgold, who has become a semi-regular appearance since then. More info
about him is at
http://www.update.uu.se/~starback/disney-comics/chars/flintheart.html
GARY:
>By the way, the letter columns will be returning to the newsstand
>Gladstone's early next year.
HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
RICH:
Even the dogs and ducks have names that don't match their
>appearance; the Beagle Boys look nothing like beagles, and another Barks
>character, Katie Mallard, had a white head like Donald and the other ducks.
>(Don't Mallard ducks have *green* heads? Or is that only the males? But I do
>know they don't have *white* heads.)
Which story is Katie Mallard from?
On the subject of Yellow Beak, don't forget Jos? Carioca!
DAVID:
>Weren't some of the lawyers and barristers in the Barks "Heirloom
>Watch" story eagle-people? Barks used moose-people (the Clan McElk seen
>briefly in "Hound of the Whiskervilles"), cat-people (Snake-Eyes McViper in
>WDC&S 108), rat-people (various villains), elephant-people ("The Beauty
>Business," one of the last ten-pagers), monkey-people (WDC&S 63), and so
>on...
In "Heirloom Watch" was also "McHawk, McChicken, and McCrow."
BTW, in his very first story "The Wise Little Hen," even Donald Duck was a
"real" funny-animal!
DON:
In "Hound of the Whiskervilles" was also the "Clan McGoose"--is that Gus
Goose's ancestors through his father Luke?

Thanks! You just made my day. I guess I'll start writing again - as soon

Now if we could just do something about the lettering... ;-) I'm thinking of

My local comics shop at school didn't get their Previews shipped to them

No comment on the artistic side, but we do now know something about the
circulation figures of the title. That's right - it's time for those
statements of circulation!
The most recent issue published to the filing date came in at just
under 9,000 copies. If nothing else, this explains the $7 price tag it
will soon be. Yowch. Anyone remember what the numbers were
last year? I'm too lazy to go look it up... (Actually, I'm too busy
reading a book and a half for Friday's mid-term. =)

Don:
I noticed all the comments that people are making about your (nudge
nudge) plan of selling your ink bottle at auction. I guess this is really a
fair way of getting rid of it. I've seen several $1 bids. (I'll go ahead
and bid $3). It's nice to see you recycling glass...
You know as I wrote the above, I remember the thrill I got, when I got a
brush who's previous owner was Walt Kelly! I'm sure that there are plenty
who would be delighted to get your old bottles. I can't tell how serious you
were (heck, I can't tell how serious I am), but maybe you should auction it.

Jane-- The story you describe is The Second Richest Duck from Uncle Scrooge
#15.
Scrooge and Flintheart battle to the end with their balls of string. The
comic came
out in 1956. I probably Have a copy for sale. Send me a private E-mail and
I will
locate a copy for you.---Barry---

In regards to Jane Lewis' question, it seem s perfectly obvious that the story
is "The second richest Duck" and the "rich bird" is none other than one of my
favorites, Flintheart Glomgold. I think the number was US 15, but I could be
wrong. The number won't do you much good though, since this crucial story is
probably very hard to come by. I'd wait for it to be reprinted in the USA
albums.
In other duck news, did Don Rosa ever reveal who Huey, Dewey, and
Louie's father was. Anyone out there got any clues. And whatever did happen
to Della Duck? I always thought an interesting story could involve a reunion
with the missing Duck and McDuck family members (maybe the've been in hiding in
Castle McDuck). Aside from Della and her husband, maybe Scrooge's sisters
could reappear and maybe there could be a reconciliation between them. That
would be a pretty unique topic for a Disney comic, but I think pioneers like
Rosa have expressed desire to allow the comics to mature.

The comic book you are looking for is
UNCLE SCROOGE issue #15, September-November 1956
and the story itself is
Uncle Scrooge in "The Second-richest Duck"
(20 pages)
so it WAS forty years!
[I guess it would be nice for you to know something about REPRINTS of the
story. For that, I can't help you; unless you are interested in ITALIAN
reprints ;-)]

RICH AND DAVID:
Despite all the examples you wanna give me, I am firmly not a "funny animal"
fan or cartoonist, and I have always had the distinct impression that Barks
wasn't either. He came from a field of cartooning distinctly NOT (!)
"funny-animal" to seek employment with Disney since Disney was doing the
hiring in the Depression, and, according to what I've read, he always
dreamed of getting out of that sort of work and getting into an adventure
newspaper strip like "Terry & the Pirates" or such. When I look at his work,
I see someone fighting against drawing funny-animals... he wanted to use
humans in all the supporting roles until the editors told him to stop, and
afterwards I think you can easilly see that he drew those "dogs" as simply
humans with black noses. He even put human ears on the non-Disney bird
characters. I know some "funny animal" artists like Jim Engel who LIVE to
draw nothing but funny-animals, and Jim also tells me that he never
considered Barks a funny-animal cartoonist -- he called him the "weird
artist" instead of the "good artist", as opposed to the many, many Dell
cartoonists obviously at complete ease and grace drawing in the
"funny-animal" genre. As you guys suggest yourselves, true "funny-animal"
comics are like those DC things or Warner Bros. or most any non-Disney
animal comics where all the animals act and look like the animals they
represent... even as a tiny child, I disliked all funny-animal comics except
Barks', since I could tell those were people, not animals. All the other
tiny bits you site of Barks using other animals were always as one-shot
quick gags for some reason... the wise-owl judge, the legal-eagle, the
rat-lawyer... but clearly not how he saw his preferred cast of characters.
The only point to this is to try to explain how firmly and unwaiveringly I
am NOT a funny-animal guy. I draw comics of humans shaped like Ducks and
people who either have black balls or pig-snouts for noses. I've grown up
with these images of how humans are to be drawn in certain comics and my
mind does not seek explanations for their strange looks. But I firmly and
positively know they are not animals or I would have stayed in the
construction bizniz.

There is a TOM and JERRY strip allright! One Austrian newspaper

slapstick-gags that dont work - Arrrgh!
ARCHIVE/INDEX
Well, another making-an-ass-of-myself-question: could anybody please
explain the basics of the much heralded index to me?. Like, is it on the
net (where), is part of it only ftp, what (format) do I get, when I ftp
it, and so on? I never really went looking, because I was afraid to
get lost and it would take horrible amounts of time - and, YES, we
over here have to pay (BIG) for local phone calls (about $ 5 an hour in
Austria - which ammounts rapidly when surfing I can tell!)
But maybe all this has allready been explained - in a digest, on a
web-site, in an archive document? If so please point me the way...
