EIRIK:
The book contains the kind of storys that was present in "Onkel Skrue" in
the beginning of the 80's(though none of these were published at that time).
Very roughly judged i guess. I presume their italian? Their at least not
kind of art you see in Donald Duck & Co.
All the story codes are not visuable, but I assume their all J-marked. F.ex.
J-1027-B.

Doesn't the database take storys marked "J-"? Searching on storys with
J-codes, i got nothing.

My father was an American Baptist minister. My parents met at California
Theological Seminary, and I was raised in its environs for my first few
years, and through reaching my majority counted as friends and mentors
doctoral members of the religious philosophic establishment.
1) The Southern Baptist Convention was founded as a schismatic group,
splintering from the American Baptist Convention, *precisely* over
racist tenets. (e.g. The Southern Baptists *refused* to allow blacks
church membership based on the bizarre theology that blacks were
pre-destined by God to be inferior beings after the Great Flood,
descended as they were, the sons of Ham, begat of Noah and cursed by
him.)
2) It was only *a couple of years ago* that the Southern Baptists
finally renounced their racist origin!
3) Disney allows its health care package to cover the partners of its
employees, and doesn't exclude gays. It's that equitable inclusiveness
(gays allowed the same rights as any one else) that's drawing the ire of
the Southern Baptists. This equitability is what they're labeling as
promotion of "anti-Christian and anti-family" values and of "immoral
ideologies and practices".
4) Currently, the Southern Baptists are simply acting in accord with
their prior long-standing practice of excluding blacks, using "Biblical"
reasoning. And so, the doctrinal history of the Southern Baptists is
entirely consistent whenever using such bigoted exclusionary postulates.
That's what they've always done.
5) The United States Constitution *guarantees* equal application of its
principles to *all* U.S. citizens, gays not excluded. Therefore, it is
"gay-friendly" under the Southern Baptist's twisted logic (that is,
affording gays the same equitable treatment as others amounts to
"favoritism"). It follows in a hilarious ipso facto, then, that the
Southern Baptists must, to be god-fearing by their *own* latest declared
accords, renounce their citizenship immediately! (The irony is that
these American ayatollahs were among the most vociferous "America --
Love It or Leave It!" demagogues of times past.)
It boggles my mind and breaks my heart at how too often religion is
twisted to serve petty hatreds. Isn't it *finally* time the world threw
off the shackles of such pathetically loud ignorance, and laughed out of
existence these remaining pockets of otherwise cancerous intolerance?!
Barks, like his peer, Twain, was a master of popping the popinjays. That
a healthy dose of skepticism is, in each case, laced into their stories
ostensibly for the young is, to my mind, of enormous credit. If I try
(humbly and haltingly) to carry forward any of the spirit of Barks'
work, it's in this vein.
In Christian terms this would be paraphrased, "Of the spirit, not of the
law." Meaning, rigorous formalism may be admirable, but not where it
conflicts with or constrains the greater meaning it contains.
I thank Barks for giving to future creators the delightful legacy of an
open arena in which anything can appear and anything can happen, if in
service to the story, its characters, and the meaning it contains.

Have fun in Yosemite! We were there in early May, mostly in the valley
though, where the falls were all roaring. There was still a lot of flood
damage if you looked closely, though all the greenery had regrown in the
riverbed. One major problem (which may be fixed by now) is that the main
access road, the one that follows the river, was closed for repairs, and we
were only able to get in and out of the park by convoy early in the morning
and late in the evening. Of course, if you're approaching from the east or
south or north, this is not a problem.
JAKOB:
Thanks for the response about the pens. Yes, it would be called Faber-Castell
Technical Pen, and comes in a variety of line weights. It also has a number,
"TG1-S". But first see if they are still available, then I'll email you

Well, if by "classic Scrooge stories" you mean Carl Barks stories and the
like, then no.
The pocketbook contains 21 Scrooge stories by various artists. I don't know
too much about European Disney artists, so I don't know if they're Italian
or not, but some of the stories are certainly by the same people that
regularly contribute to the books. Some of the stories look like(I may be
wrong) they might be slightly older(the eighties perhaps).So basically it's
just an over-sized Scrooge pocketbook. Oh, and it contains a one-page intro
concerning Scrooge and intended for readers not very familiar with him.

A few weeks ago my 9-year-old son was told at his (Roman Catholic) Religion
School to boycott Disney Stores because of the abuse of little children by
Disney in the Emerging Countries in the making of Disney T-shirts.
He told me this, and of course I agreed (we were glad to hear that the
boycott didn't involve Disney Comics...).
The boycott (for different but similar reasons) also involved Nestle. He
took it quite seriously, and I think it's right to start campaigns in
defense of the helpless anywhere.
BUT! Should I hear of a boycott motivated by "gay friendliness"... I'd
certainly ask a show-down with the teacher, and then I'd consider removing
my son from that Religion School.
The Roman Catholic Church is far behind on too many issues, but (thank God

JONATHAN:
While I'm not saying that this is how *I* see it, it isn't *that*
hard to "selectively" adopt DuckTales' happenings into the Barks universe.
Not all the episodes "really" happened, in other words. The episodes that
repeat (or partly repeat) Barks stories are simply fictional.
On the other hand, Egmont simply integrates Launchpad with Barks'
universe, then drops most every other aspect that DuckTales added (except
in some older, D-code-1993-and-earlier stories that try to simulate the
entire DuckTales cast, environment, etc.). One story in particular, Unn
Printz-Pahlson's "Never Say Never" (D 94039, not yet printed in America) is
a standard Vicar Donald ten-pager in which bad luck brings (normal
Barks-style) Donald together with Launchpad, then causes the two to slowly
drive each other completely crazy. It's like Sartre with ducks, and very
different than just assuming that ALL of DuckTales needs to be integrated.
>BTW, there's one angle that I'm surprised noone's pointed out so far: Donald

Not really. Let's say Donald's "real-time" birthdate is in or
around 1920, as Don has suggested. Then... at another time, Byron once
commented to me that in "Circus Roustabout" (1931), Mickey seemed about 14.
So... let's say Mickey was born in, say, 1917 or 1918. That means he's
having his classic late-1930s Gottfredson adventures when he's around 20,
which seems perfect. And he's a responsible thirtysomething by the time he
has the Murry adventures, which (IMHO) seems perfectly accurate. Mickey
remains a few years older than Donald, so this even forges the 1936 Sundays
(where Donald seems to be a pesky younger friend of Mickey) into a timeline
that works.
Of course, the fact that modern Mickey stories seem to be set in
the present (and I'm as guilty of this as anybody) throws all timelines out
the window, but all I'm saying is that it's possible to come UP with one.

>That would be [1949 screen cartoon] "Donald's happy birthday."
And that cartoon was adapted to a comic story by Fred Milton and
Daan Jippes (H 78006). What birthday is shown on the calendar on page 1 in
the Dutch version? In Gladstone (WDC&S 513), the calendar seems
conspicuous in that the kids refer to a birthday, but no specific date is
circled.

>That would be [1949 screen cartoon] "Donald's happy birthday."
And that cartoon was adapted to a comic story by Fred Milton and
Daan Jippes (H 78006). What birthday is shown on the calendar on page 1 in
the Dutch version? In Gladstone (WDC&S 513), the calendar seems
conspicuous in that the kids refer to a birthday, but no specific date is
circled.

I think it *will* work when you remove the '-', and write something like "I 1234-A".
You are using Per's web program. This program tries to make a Database code
out of whatever you type in. In the Database, most Italian codes are stored as
"I" + space + number + "-" + letter.
(BTW: this will change to "I TL 1234-A" in the near future.)
