I just read Don's writing on his trip to roma......it was like being there..
good job on the description Don. when I saw Don in Detroit several years
back, it was like he described....... he was drawing beautiful color drawings
for the fans....... unfortunately... I was the last person on the list of
people getting a drawing. But I believe he recognized me from a smaller
comic show about a year earlier in Lansing Michigan, and knew I was an true
life "duck fan" type. (said with a flush)
and he said even though he didn't know if he had time, he would try to get
one done for me. He worked non-stop on about four of them and the show was
almost over . He said since I had stuck around all day, keeping him company,
( probably more likely being a pest ) he would do me a drawing. He stayed
quite some time after the show to finish my $crooge drawing.....its still one
of my favorites ......."one" of my favorites 8-)
Just a short duck fan story..............
NOW..... the reason why he is not mobbed over here......hopefully its just a
matter of time until he is, but...... DISNEY........ (and I am not
refering to Gladstone here....we are lucky to have that bunch of guys around
) but the big monolith that exists in everyones mind but nowhere for
sure......doesn't support comics.......and those three words about sum it up.

Great to hear that Noel Van Horn is about to debut in the
Gladstones. His style is quite similar to his father(!?)
William's - he even uses the mosquito signature. (Does
anyone know an explanation for that BTW?) His charac-
terization of Goofy is absolutely hilarious - 'goofy' and
not just plain 'dumb' as he usually appears. Unfortunately
the story you'll see doesn't feature Goofy, but David's
story is a good one anyway. If I remember correctly it's
the one where Pete manages to credibly threaten Mickey on
his life. More like that, Gladstone, and pull all those
Rosa reprints from WDC. Readers who want reprints can buy
the albums, no?
A big welcome to Denmark, David! The weather these days is
at least as fine as in California and you'll think there's
more sea here than in the Pacific. Am I invited to the
house-warming party or maybe that Egmont get-together in
September BTW? Copenhagen just came an hour closer after
the bridge/tunnel across Storebaelt, so now it's just a
trip instead of a journey over there.

How about, instead of making reprints, you publish a Mickey Mouse serial or
two by Paul Murry that you have not yet published? The new WDC&S seem to have
replaced the traditional Murry serials with serialized versions of Don's
stories, so I believe it would be appropriate to publish the former whenever
the latter are not available.
> WDC&S 620 will reprint "Oolated Luck" from WDC&S 528.
This is one of my favorites. For months, if I wanted to laugh, I'd just say
"oolated squigg" to myself, and I'd start rolling on the floor. Imagine my
surprise when I discovered that this phrase had been invented by Barks, who
had used it in one of those background details that tend to go unnoticed
during the first reading. Don not only noticed this obscure detail, but turned
it into the full-blown story that it deserved!
Does anyone remember which was the story in which oolated squiggs appeared?
I wonder how this phrase was "translated" in other languages. Doing so should
be as difficult as translating "Jabberwocky": on the one hand it's only
gibberish, but on the other hand it manages to convey a meaning.

You aren't dreaming: Barks did write such a story (I don't remember the title
off-hand, though). A few years later, someone raised a ship by pumping it with
plastic foam, with the bubbles in the foam, instead of Barks' ping-pong balls,
providing the lift. When he tried to patent this process, he was turned down
on the grounds that a similar process had been published previously, namely in
Barks' story! Recent reprints of this story mention this amazing fact in an
accompanying article. (Sounds like Barks could have patented this invention,
and made lots of money in the ship-raising business--Don, you'd better hurry
to the patent office and patent your inverted bowl technique; it would be
ideal, e.g., for turning the Titanic into a museum!)

US #219 is the first printing of the *duck* version of the story. Don,
however, had produced an earlier version of the story, starring his own
character, Lance Pertwillaby. To complicate things further, the Pertwillaby
stories had been conceived as Duck stories, but for obvious copyright reasons,
Don was unable to draw them as such. When he got the chance to do a story
starring the ducks, basing it on one of the Pertwillaby stories was
inevitable. (In fact, most of the Pertwillaby stories have now been converted
into duck stories.)

Actually, a Disney monolith really does exist; it's a tall office tower,
often referred to as "the Disney Tower," in Burbank, California. Even so,
Disney is such an enormous global enterprise that it is hard to pin down as
a specific entity.
The American reading public doesn't support comics. There are those that
say comics in America will fade away, to become at best a tiny niche market
served only by the faithful for the faithful. And there are those that say
this has already happened. At least Don receives some of his just due in
some other sectors of the globe!
And I sure hope we never do anything to compromise "Wdposter's" very
generous opinion of us!

Yes, Doug and Zorro are Disney characters.
Zorro is a Disney TV series and some movies produced by Disney in the 50's.
The Doug Funny Tv series and copyrights were bought last year, with the
Jumbo by Disney.
That's all I know. I should have looked at my archives for more and sharper
