Not a single word. Anyway, it looks like these monographs will mainly be
devoted to ITALIAN Disney artistas, doesn't it? So I guess Lidia is PERFECT

And again, isn't it sort of strange that, say, "Zio Paperone" (January

Anyway, we're hopefully waiting! Certainly it sounds very very good!

Hi,
DAVID:
Here is the story of $crooge's French name.
First to answer your question as to why Picsou is the only one to be called
by his last name two reasons were given to me by the experts:
He is a business man and calling him by his surname is more serious and
most respectfull than calling him by his first name.
Also (and that is whithout a doubt the real, historical reason, even if it
has a lot more to do with the real world than with the imaginary world):
Picsou has been called by two different names and two different surnames
before getting his final name and the one that stuck was Picsou as it was
the funniest and the one that described best his character (Picsou is a pun
meaning "who steal coins").
He received his first name Balthazar only in the early '70s. It was Michel
Mandry, editor of the Journal de Mickey at the time who gave that first
name to him when Picsou Magazine was launched. It was chosen as it was rare
and rich. It was also an hommage to one of the three wise kings. Michel,
by the way is the friend who provided all of the following info.
The first time $crooge appeared in France was in the Summer of 1949 in the
number 15 of the series "Les Belles Histoires de Walt Disney" (published by
Hachette). It was in the story Donald et le Secret du Donjon (Donald Duck
in the Old Castle's Secret - 4 Coulour 189). $crooge was called Oncle
Harpagon.
In number 66 (January 11, 1952) of Mickey Magazine, published in Belgium,
$crooge was called Oncle Jeremie McDuck.
In number 258 (March 2, 1952) of Hardi presente Donald, published in
France, $crooge was called Oncle Edgar.
In number 30 (December 21, 1952) of Le Journal de Mickey, published in
France, $crooge is called for the first time Picsou.
It's Raymond Calame who was the editor of Lectures pour Tous and Hardi
presente Donald and was also in charge of comics for Le Journal de Mickey
who found his name. Making a pun on the character's personality.
In 1972, when Picsou Magazine was launched, sponsored by the French bank
Credit Lyonnais, the commercial department of that bank realised only at
the last minute what the name meant and the decided to remain discreet
during the launch !
The idea of giving him a first name appeared to make Picsou more "human".
But Picsou, in 20 years, was already too well known and could not be
changed as the name by which everybody called $crooge.
We should add that Flairsou (Rocker Duck) is also called by his surname,
his first name (also invented by Michel) being Cresus.
I hope this answers your question.

All these Taliaferro reprints seem to be based on an Italian volume
published in the seventies, containing all of his DD sunday pages from 1936
to the mid 1940's. The title was something with '365 something with DD'
(My Italian isn't that great).
The reason I think all other volumes are based on this book is because
not all sunday pages are present, and oddly enough, all other collections
are missing exactly the same pages. All these collections claim to be
complete, but they aren't!
That was a very annoying discovery, as I was using this volume to date
1930's European reprints of Taliaferro's DD, and was left with '?' marks
in my files.

I think there's an essential difference. When Jippes redrew a story, he started
from scratch on an all-white paper. So every line is his. In many cases
(or so he said), he had to *guess* the contents of a Barks panel, because the
xeroxes he worked from were very dark. So his redrawings are far further from
the original Barks drawings than the restorings you are talking about. (I'm
not saying anything about the amount of effort done in both cases!)
When a story's art is not close to the original, for whatever reason, we like to know.
For instance, most of the story "Darkest Africa" you mention, was *not* redrawn
by Daan Jippes, but by Dick Vlottes, who was less experienced with drawing
Ducks. And it shows. Some panels look terrible. In this case it's good to know that
those drawings were *not* the original Barks drawings.
So it's good to have a list of changes in Barks' artwork in the CBL. Not every tiny
change, of course. Personally, I don't think the re-inserting of previously censored
artwork needs to be mentioned in the list. But a re-inking of entire stories (Africa),
censoring, or change of facial expressions (Toyland) should be noted.
Making a list of them is not a judgement for the makers of the CBL. But it's a lead for
the Barks-fan who wants all the original Barks-lines. And it's a help for scholars who
study Barks' artwork.

Harry Fluks (digest #15) has been "wondering who or what Strindberg is".
On this occasion your level of wondering cannot have been very actively
engaged, Harry: perhaps 8,310,000 Swedes have already phoned in to
tell you this, but (Johan) August Strindberg (1849-1912) was/is a (world)
famous playwright (and novelist). In Scandinavia I would say he is second
only to Henrik (Johan) Ibsen. (Try "The Red Room" or "Miss Julie"
(with French and not Swedish pronunciation in the title!).)
He had a somewhat unpredictable mood, I gather (at least from 1869 onwards,
after failing the entrance examination to the Royal Theatre of Stockholm),
but perhaps he takes some pride (I feel present tense is appropriate here)
in lending his name to the email-address of this distinguished literary
analysis group. (And "ling.uu.se", since Harry wonders, must mean something
like the linguistic department? at the University of Uppsala, in Sweden.)
This footnote contribution to a footnote discussion was triggered by
Don's making "(Email removed)" eternal via his latest Duck story.
Of course "iglou" is the dative form of the Eskimo word "igloo",
as when offering something to an igloo ("Don gave the iglou an icebear").
Staying with Sweden and Don Rosa: delightful story about the Swedish Kalla
Ankas #2-10 that you are lending out to the Lekmuseet! I'm two bits
surprised that this dealer-of-the-old-school you describe didn't sense
in his bones that pristine mint KAs #1-10 were indeed more valuable than
20 dollars.

Banning, redrawing: questions
Message 202 -
1997-01-20 at 23:03:35
There have been recent discussions here about redrawing occasions of Barks
art in the CB Library/CB Library in Color. Byron Erickson and others
have been explaining relevant reasons and aspects of this.
Two questions:
Is there a list somewhere (hopefully a short one) of the instances
where the _originally published art_ (which in this context is 1.5 nuances
away from being the same as Barks' original art) was (CBL)/is (the ongoing
CBLinC) _changed_ (which is 8.3 nuances away from being the same as
redrawn/retouched)? The most famous example would be the ending panel
of the Atom Bomb story (where the 1947 panel is _very different_,
also in character, from what is in CBL/CBLinC). Is this the only
_drastic_ example?
Secondly: Byron E. says that Disney _ordered the proofs destroyed_
for some of the "banned stories", like Darkest Africa (1948).
Surprising & amazing. Ordering destruction is of course much much more
drastic and stalinistic than asking the proofs "not to be used again".
(a) What is the (current) list of such "banned Barks" stories/parts of
stories? I say "current" since some stories _have been_ banned but has
later been published widely (Darkest Africa).
(b) Who has the executing power to say "ban this" & "deban that"
(except the Pope)? Are _reasons_ given for the decisions? Do we know
the extent to which such decisions were actually _debated_ (pros and cons)
in the appropriate fora?
(c) Who had the actual power to destroy proofs? I'm trying to imagine
in my mind a typical secretary at work, destroying proofs of
Darkest Africa -- was there a sense of a Historical Moment briefly
touching her(him) during the autodafe? It's all in a day's work, of course...

Somebody wondered aloud why I didn't send in a message on Sunday. I'll tell
you, since it's interesting (to me, anyway). On Sunday I drove (rode) 2 1/2
hours to the only existing CINERAMA theater in North America (perhaps the
world) and saw the planet's only existing Cinerama print of the 1962 movie
"How the West Was Won". You may have seen this movie(or a tiny part of it)
on TV, but you'll never see this movie as it was filmed unless you go to
Dayton, Ohio, and get there in the next two weeks.
For you youngsters, CINERAMA is a movie process which, in simplest possible
terms, is three totally seperate, but perfectly matched, camera/film images
shown side by side. This means it's a wiiiiiiide darn picture on a special
screen. To describe the process in detail would take far too much space
here. But it had picture width, clarity, color and even sound (7 track!)
better than ANYTHING in existance in 1997.
Between 1952 and 1962 there were 5 travelogues and two actual "story" movies
filmed in this process, and HTWWW was the final one.
List member Dan Shane and I (at his discovery and invitation) went to see
one of the final showings. And it bears mentioning that the recreation of
this temporary Cinerama theater was made possible by aspects of the
Internet, such as letter campaigns and so forth. Quite a bit of movie
history that very few people in the world will be able to experience before
it's lost again.

My dealer friend did not KNOW these were the first ten issues of KALLE ANKA,

would have assumed that Disney comics had existed in Sweden (or whatever
wacky country those comics came from) far longer than just since 1948. For
him to put a price of $20 apiece on what he thought was just average 1948
funny-animal comics, Disney or not, was a VERY high price... normally he
might have just put a few dollars each on them knowing nobody in America
would have an "honest" interest in them. But since they were pristine mint
he put $20 each on them just out of respect for their condition and in hope
that only a serious buyer would pick them up.

Hi,
I am planning to take some vacations in Norway in the near future and I
would have been happy to visit stores in Stavanger or Oslo that might sell
Disney comics or Disney animation documents.
If any kind Nowegian member has an answer to this question please send me
your answer through private mail.
Thanks in advance to all.

When did Tony Strobl die?

Did we ever pinpoint the date of Tony Strobl's death?
The first time it was mentioned on this list was in August 1993,
when I cited a text from somewhere else about this. That text
didn't know exactly when he had died though, but said that his death
was "recently announced". So somewhere in 1993 seems probable.
Gladstone Gazette #1 says that he died in 1994, which I therefore
don't believe. I can't find any other date in print though.
Does anyone know the date?

Not a Disney comic really

I got this enquiry from a random net person, presumably because of the
various Disney things in some of my web pages. I don't have the faintest
clue, and know very well that this isn't a Disney comic in the sense we
mean, but thought that perhaps someone here may have some info that could
be relayed to the poor soul.
