Here in America, we're currently suffering a blistering plague of nouns
being turned into verbs. This appalling disease is being spread by the
pestilent glib-niks in the media and the bureaucracies who are too %(*@#
lazy and/or full of themselves to bother using proper verb forms. And
heaven forbid they should have to conjugate anything!
HARRY:
You have experienced the joys of the "Hypothetically speaking" syndrome:
the minute you posit a premise, there are those who are going to take it
for granted that the premise, however much you disclaim it, applies to you,
and most especially you. In fact, the more strenuously you disclaim it, the
more you're likely to fall victim to the "Methinks he doth protest too
much" syndrome. You just can't win with some people.

Donald in DuckTales
Message 3 -
1997-05-01 at 05:48:23
Everyone:
This is my first posting to the Mailing List. Please bear with me while I
try to get into the flow of what is going on...
To clarify a few points that have recently been brought up regarding Donald's
presence on the "DuckTales" TV show:
1. Donald was not "drafted" into the Navy. He volunteered, telling Uncle
Scrooge in part 1 of the "Treasure of the Golden Suns" serial that he was
joining up because he "wanted to see the world!" (After all those Barks
treasure-hunts, yet...)
2. Donald appeared in the following "DuckTales" episodes (all first-season
episodes, broadcast for the first time during 1987-88): parts 1 and 3 of
"Treasure of the Golden Suns" ("Don't Give Up the Ship" and "Three Ducks of
the Condor"), "Sphinx for the Memories", "Home Sweet Homer", part 2 of the
"firefly fruit" serial ("A Whale of a Bad Time"), "Spies in Their Eyes" (the
episode with the pig villain Victor Luzer), "All Ducks on Deck" (the episode
with the Phantom Blot), and "Till Nephews Do Us Part." In "Homer" and "Till
Nephews," Donald's role was that of a glorified walk-on; in the other
episodes, he had more substantial roles.
3. Donald has appeared in at least a couple of Egmont comic-book stories
together with the "DuckTales" "created for TV" cast members (e.g. Launchpad
McQuack). Judging from the Disney Studio stories that Gladstone ran during
the first incarnation of the DUCKTALES comic, this was not the common
practice elsewhere. Have other companies besides Egmont created comic-book
stories featuring Donald and "made for TV" characters?
4. Everyone seems to be concerned about why Donald left HD&L in Scrooge's
care at the start of "DuckTales". An even more pressing question is, when
exactly did Donald get back to Duckburg and restore the status quo? In an
early-90's Disney Comics UNCLE SCROOGE story, "Coffee, Louie, or Me?", Donald
makes several references to HAVING BEEN in the Navy, so it can be surmised
(as it originally was by my good friend and fellow Duck fan Joe Torcivia)
that this is the first unequivocally post-"DuckTales" Duck story. But no
explanation is forthcoming in the story as to when Donald returned. "Quack
Pack" certainly doesn't discuss this matter, though it does use Donald's
former seaman status as the springboard for one of its episodes, "All Hands
on Duck".
Replies and comments are welcome. I'm glad to be aboard.

Cartoons banned?
Message 5 -

I just happened to watch a German television station (Super RTL)
where a Disney-show was on. They reeled some (very) old cartoons,
including one from the early 30ies, I'd guess:
It's called something like "The Prison Camp" has Pete (peg-legged) as
guard, Mickey and assorted animals as prisoners, barely talk, few and
old-looking colors... and it is VERY un-PC!
Mickey Mouse is in prison (not "very Disney" in itself..), and there is
an awful lot of spitting and hitting and trouser falling going on. And then
the prison guards start shooting (with machine guns too!) on the
panicking prisoners in the court. Not too mention numerous animals
being bent, twisted etc.
I didn't know the early MM-cartoons were this explicit and violent...
But what I found most interesting is that they showed it as kiddie
daytime program... I wonder: would they show something like this in
American contemporary TV too? Or are cartoons like this banned? Like
the early Mickey comic-strips (foreign legion...) Does anybody know?

Wondercon
Message 7 -

The 11th annual Wondercon comic book convention was
held on April 25-27 in Oakland, California. Disney
Comics Mailing List members in attendance included
Don Rosa, Barry Branvold, Michael Naiman, Todd
Klein, and me. Disney Comics enthusiasts without
email access included Scott McAdam, Steven Ng, and
Bill Howard.
Don and Todd were located in "artist's alley," a
section of the exhibit hall where comic book fans
could meet their favorite artists and writers, per-
haps just to share an interesting conversation, or
to obtain autographs or original art. Don, as cor-
dial and accommodating as ever, sat at his table
for all 7 hours on Friday and all 9 hours on Satur-
day, frantically drawing incredibly great sketches
to fill the many requests.
In between rummaging through comic book boxes and
original art portfolios at the dealers booths, I
often wandered through artist's alley. On one oc-
casion, I noticed that a little boy had been sit-
ting in front of Don's table for a long, long time,
watching Don's every move. In interviews, Carl
Barks said that he had never seen a kid buy a Don-
ald Duck or Uncle Scrooge comic book. Come to
think of it, neither had I. So I just had to ask
him, "Do you read his (Don's) comic books -- Don-
ald Duck and Uncle Scrooge?" He replied, "No."
Soon after, a little girl came by, peering with
wonder and amazement at the sight of that person
drawing Donald Duck. She was about 3 feet away
from the front of table, with other people be-
tween her and the table. Me being such a curious
person, I just had to ask her, "Do you read his
(Don's) comic books -- Donald Duck and Uncle
Scrooge?" "Yes!" she replied with a smile and a
nod, as her face lit up. "Would you like to meet
him? He'd love to meet you." I said. "Oh no,
no." (*blush*) (*blush*) she said shyly. After
reassuring her again that Don would love to speak
with her, she again shyly declined. So there you
have it -- the last remaining kid in the U.S. who
reads Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic books
was afraid to meet Don. :)
One highlight of the convention was the original
art auction. The proceeds from the auction are
donated to the Literacy Volunteers of America,
an organization which helps people to learn how
to read. A very worthy cause, especially when
you think of how much enjoyment we have all had
from reading.
The auction was a huge success, thanks in part
to Don and two hecklers in the audience. Don do-
nated two pieces of original art, which sold for
$110 and $525. The two hecklers kept raising
other people's bids in the live auction, while
somehow miraculously managing to avoid winning any
of the items. Can't tell you who the two hecklers
were, though, since Barry and Michael didn't want
everyone on the mailing list to find out about
their exploits. :)
On Saturday night, Don, Barry, Michael, Michael's
friend Alan, Scott, Steven, and I went to have
dinner. Don wanted to eat something Hot Hot Hot,
so we went to a nearby Thai restaurant. The
waiter took our orders and a bit later brought us
our appetizers. Soon after, there appeared to be
some sort of loud commotion in the kitchen area.
Either the waiter had forgotten our orders, or was
in shock at the sight of a customer who just ate
three red hot chili peppers in a row! :)
Hope to see everyone at next year's Wondercon.

The show would be ADVENTURES OF MICKEY AND DONALD, the European
daily TV series of old Disney cartoons. We have no equivalent to it in the
United States -- IMHO, the major reason that the vintage Disney cartoons
aren't more popular here. (The Disney Channel has some shows like it, but
again, the Disney Channel isn't in the majority of homes...)

This is THE CHAIN GANG (1930). It was originally a black-and-white
cartoon -- Disney added color to it for TV around 1990.
>Mickey Mouse is in prison (not "very Disney" in itself..), and there is

Spitting and hitting and trousers-dropping are very standard in
Disney cartoons, so aren't usually cut. Every old cartoon's full of them!

Ah... THIS part is censored on American TV. Some of the scenes are
cut at this point... But we have the complete cartoon on video, on a
laserdisc boxed set of Mickey cartoons (the only one ever issued,
actually).

A Warner Bros. cartoon? Yes, although some of the gunshot scenes
would still be censored. A Disney cartoon? Very seldom. THE CHAIN GANG
gets through because the bloodhounds later in the film were the first use
of Pluto (and an identical double!). It's quite famous for this.

He, he... Blasphemy? Maybe... True nontheless! The story goes
something like this: Jimmy Olsen attends an exhibition of old Gaul
items in a Metropolis museum, when something (magical?) happens and
he and Superman (I dont remenber how he came in) are magically
transported back in time to a small Gaul village...
It gets even more confusing as Superman seems to have lost his memory
and fights alongside the Romans (I think..?) But in the end (even
more confusing) it turns out that the current year is several
hundreds years later than 30 BC and the Gauls and the Romans have
survived in a time bubble and are anachronistic now. Then Jimmy is
hit on the head (thats what started the whole thing in the first
place) and finds himself back in Metropolis. And no one knows for sure
if it was a dream or reality.
BTW: the face of the Gauls are never shown and kept in the shadows...

The issue counts from Disney's DD Adventures and Gladstone's DD
Adventures are crossing!
I got Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures No.38 July 1993 published
monthly by Disney Comiics, Inc.
and
Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures, No. 21, August 1993, published
bimonthly by The Bruce Hamilton Company, under the Gladstone imprint...
Can someone explain this to me?
Did Gladstone not startr all over, not continuing the counbt like at the
WDC, but starting with #21???
There weren't really two series with the same title at a time, or?
How are the different series separated from each other?
DDA 1 / no. 2 and DDA 2 /No. 2 or what?
Or is it a question of luck when mailordering something from a dealer,
which series I get???

That's why we have fan-fic! I've always wanted to write a spec script, just
for the heck of it, with just such a scenario. But the very idea made me cry.
=) (Yeah, I'd probably get sloppy and sentimental in ending the DuckTales
series. So sue me. I can't tell you how much DuckTales means and meant to me.
Started me off on this wild Duck journey, not to mention my passion for
animation, and a rather large videotape collection filled with cartoons and
science-fiction shows.)

Yes, but Quack Pack is utter blasphemy and should be ignored at all costs.

That's why we have fan-fic! I've always wanted to write a spec script, just
for the heck of it, with just such a scenario. But the very idea made me cry.
=) (Yeah, I'd probably get sloppy and sentimental in ending the DuckTales
series. So sue me. I can't tell you how much DuckTales means and meant to me.
Started me off on this wild Duck journey, not to mention my passion for
animation, and a rather large videotape collection filled with cartoons and
science-fiction shows.)
> explanation is forthcoming in the story as to when Donald returned. "Quack
> Pack" certainly doesn't discuss this matter, though it does use Donald's
Yes, but Quack Pack is utter blasphemy and should be ignored at all costs.
Don't even try to link it to DuckTales. Please. =)
ALL:
And now for what everyone has been waiting for:
Having waded through endless pages of soft-porn advertisements and poor excuses
for comics, I reached, there on page 275, right after the "Girl On Girl"
listing:

Well Eric...at least our hands were up!
I noticed that you seemed to be sitting on yours !!!
Wasn't Don's piece worth it? ;-)
I was surprised that I was the high bidder on the "Uncle Jonah"
piece...probably because no one knew what it was...soon to appear in "The
Untold Tales of Spider-Man" annual.
Also picked up (thanks to Scott McAdam) a 3/4 inch U$ in a bottle!
Carried back on the plane a 24 inch + tall plaster U$ figurine...looks like
the Bully figure carrying the valise with money sticking out...one foot
walking forward with the cane. A wild ride to say the least...I boarded
with the blue hairs, children and infirmed because I told them that this
was a rare and valuable piece and *VERY* fragile (which it was.) I needed
priority boarding!! After refusing to stow it under the seat and being
hassled by the stewardess, I kept it on my lap, covered myself with a
blanket to hide the figurine, and pretended I was asleep for the duration
of the flight! Of course, my wife, who was picking me up, gave me what I
call "the hairy eyeball" upon seeing me drag this U$ through the airport.
(You married guys know what I'm talking about!!)
The first question out of her mouth (after the obligatory "How much did
*THAT* cost?) was "Where do you think that's going in the house? Ahhh...the
joys of collecting AND being married....but after 23 years, she should be
use to it!
There were some very high grade U$ comics there and a nearly perfect
Vacation Parade #1 (I've seen the best & this ranks #2). The VP #1 sold for
a little under Guide.
All in all it was a very good Scrooge show and we did have some tremendous
Thai food and great company. Barry was in rare form despite the tragedy
that had befallen his town and store.
....hey Eric, want some more shellfish?

Incredible as it seems: Superman indeed met Asterix (or sort of). That
story was published in Action Comics 579, may 1986, written by R.J.
Lofficier and drawn by Giffen. Superman and Jimmy Olsen travel back in
time to ancient Gaul etc. etc. etc.
That story was published a few months before the Byrne revamping of
Superman, thus it doesn't belong to the current cronology.
As a Superman AND Asterix fan I found that story quite interesting. Not
blasphemy. A little weird, maybe. But most of the Superman stories from
that period (specially those drawn by Giffen) were like that one.
Hey. Wasn't this list dedicated exclusively to Disney Comics?!

No replys, but a big welcome aboard!!
and if you folks thought that Superman meeting Asterix was odd, then I should
point out that about the same time he also met up with Tintin! (And to
keep these comments on topic- Superman hd no appearances with Uncle Scrooge,
but he did have a money bin cover with someone (Mr. Mxyptlik swimming in a
nice bin of silver cash) And gosh did I spell Mxyptlik correct? I
hope not, that would be too much trivia in my head if I did.

Cristopher (posting info on Duck Tales):
>Replies and comments are welcome.
This is slightly off-topic here (we are supposed to discuss Disney COMICS
only!) but
(1) Since you have so much information, maybe you've got a complete
chronology of the Duck Tales episodes? (or a link to it)? Could you let us
know? Er... if it's a link then you may post it to the Mailing List,
otherwise you'd better reply to me privately lest our ever-too-sympathetic
administrator should for once lose his temper ;-)
(2) As for "when" the episodes told in DT should be placed in Duck
chronology, I sympathize here with Don Rosa's point of view: Duck Tales
should be regarded for what they are, i. e. a fantasy TV serial which draws
inspiration from the REAL life of the world's richest duck; and maybe they
aren't even paying royalties to $crooge!!!! So DT episodes don't belong
really to Duck chronology, not more than "The bold and the beautiful"
belongs to real-life fashion stylists...
