MIKKO:

That was also what I was thinking ("The Money Champ", US 27), but
as Per pointed out, that's not the one.

I am working on an update very slowly - Don has mailed a lot during the last
three years, and sorting that all out takes more time than I thought!
When I'm finished, I'll let you (i.e. the list) know; I hope it's somewhere
this year.
VELI-MATTI:
> Does the artmaker paint the colours while the drawing job or do

The colouring is usually done by separate artists. And most of the time,
the Europeans use different colours from the USA, and vice versa.
RIK:

Don hides a dedication in the first panel of every story, and on most of
his covers. It's D.U.C.K. and it means "Dedicated to Unca Carl from Keno"
(Keno is Don's first name, and Unca Carl is Carl Barks).
Sometimes the D.U.C.K. is plain text (like on the sign you mentioned),
but most of the time the letters are hidden somewhere in the background,
and you have to look very hard to recognise them. Check out Dan Shane's
Uncle Scrooge webpages for some examples where D.U.C.K.
can be found.
There are, however, a few stories where D.U.C.K. does *not* appear, so
a search for them *might* be unsuccessful...
ARTHUR:

I tried to download a better one, but your Microsoft link does not
work, and your Netscape link gave me an "unrecoverable application
error". Apparently, my old browser doesn't like it when I try to
download a new one... 8-)
BTW, the GIFs that the non-frame versions of your pages try to

SATU:
> in that company, I don't have any reason to feel inferior!
Having been on this List since its beginning, I can't imagine how
it feels to be new here. For that reason (and because I like the
artist 8-), I recently joined another mailing list, "Amarok" (for
fans of Mike Oldfield). To my amazement, the kinds of discussions
are very similar to the ones on this list (except that Mike is no
member...). Next week, I think I'll write my first message, introducing
myself and asking my first newbie questions... 8-)
To come back to your remark: *noone* has any reason to feel
inferior! *You* know that, but I hope all other list members are aware
of that too!
> Something about myself then: I'm 29 years old female from Finland; I'm not

See my previous remark to Rik. If you're in doubt, just ask!
(Some of the oldest stories have no D.U.C.K., or not in the first panel.)

creators, but I wait as ardently as any fan for each new story. It's not
often I laugh out loud, but you often make visually plausible the most
tortured physical straits (eg. That poor, poor mountie; and Magica with

Lots of things...
Message 168 -
1997-07-18 at 09:50:57
I decided to address a bunch of issues together as one:
Having come across more of Lockman's work, I sorta take back what I
said earlier. While I still don't like what I see, it's not as bad as
I first thought (the first place where I even noticed it was Mailbox
Blues).
Was Walt Disney Giant cancelled? If so, at what issue #?
I read a lot of other "vigilante" comic books as well, and I like them
(the comics I love in general as much Disney are characters created by
Jim Starlin, mainly Adam Warlock, Spawn by Todd McFarlane, Spectre,
...). I feel some of comments made by people like Barks (and many
others who prefer Disney or Asterix or Tintin) about those comic books
are just as close-minded as those people into Spiderman pooh-poohing
Disney comic books. In terms of what I get out of it, which is more
than entertainment, it's basically the same thing to me.
While we're on the topic, my "peers" can't believe I read comic books
at my age (25) and doing what I do. I had to show them all Geoffrey
Blum's psychoanalysing in the Carl Barks Libraries in Colour to argue
that there is merit to this stuff. I presume others have the same
problem?
I am currently trying to round up a full set of the Carl Barks Library
of Walt Disney Comics and Stories in Colour. Are all the issues out
yet? Does anyone have any idea of how long the entire set of Donald
Duck Adventures and Uncle Scrooge Adventurs (I believe they're 25 and
56 issues each?) will be offered for sale? Together with the 9 issue
set which includes the 6 Gyro Gearloose albums, does this cover every
Barks story?
Thanks for any help!

He does have it in most of his stories, but in early Egmont
printings (including Aku Ankka of the early 90's) the editors often
removed the D.U.C.K. because they thought it looked like a signature. In
some more recent stories (such as "Of Ducks and Dimes and Destinies" =
"Onnenlantin tarina") the D.U.C.K. was lost because they had to cut
off a bit of the first panel in order to get the title above it.

Great to know you're making a new one! I still often read the
first one when I need some information about Don's comics quickly! And I
think it was used as a source for an article in the Finnish hard cover
book of "GotLL". They're publishing a hard cover "Lo$" now and I thought
it might've been interesting to have a modern version of that file for
them to read :)

I've met some great folks from over the water at the show yesterday...
Jakob Hallin (who produces a very professional Duck fan-zine);
Greger Nassen and Germund (can't remember your last name...sorry!)
When Germund came to my booth...my ear detected a Swedish accent
and we struck up a conversation regarding the Disney Duck titles
When I mentioned an acquaintance of mine Per Vedin they all knew
who he was...always amazes me how tightly knit this duck family really is.
Another treat was finding my name in the new Italian Rosa book,
in what little I contributed, I'm still grateful for the acknowledgement.
Also, Don brought me a copy of "A little Something Special"...just can't
wait for the folks at Gladstone to print it...time for the translation
dictionary
Hope to meet more of the fans from overseas in the upcoming days!
If anyone of our overseas attendees are still logging in to the digest
inbetween running around this 24-hour-a-day convention come by and see
me at Booth #2202...I'll give you a special "Digest Discount" on all Disney
stuff.
BTW: Look out Europe...Gerstein is starting to look very "Euro" in his
fashion design!

I don't know is this problem in every other countries, but as Satu said
it is a problem in Finland. The 80's were good(I don't know nothing
about earlyer times, only the The best of Barks are familiar to me), so
were first years of 90's too, but now you can't find any good story of
the week magazines. Otherwise, when in 80's there was hard to find bad
ones. Sad, is it? Are the ideas really so used that now only Rosa can
make good fresh storys.
And now is time for introduse myself: I'm 17 years old male student, I'm
living in Finland, and something about me you can find from my web-page:
http://www.sci.fi/~vessu , and there are my duck's sites also. And I
also like of drawing too, so there is one of pictures in those sites.

were first years of 90's too, but now you can't find any good story of
the week magazines. Otherwise, when in 80's there was hard to find bad
ones. Sad, is it? Are the ideas really so used that now only Rosa can
make good fresh storys.
And now is time for introduse myself: I'm 17 years old male student, I'm
living in Finland, and something about me you can find from my web-page:
http://www.sci.fi/~vessu , and there are my duck's sites also. And I
also like of drawing too, so there is one of pictures in those sites.

I'm a bit behind in my reading; and I just thought that I'd point out that
the Chip "n' Dale story in WDC&S #614 is actually the work of Pete Alvardo,
instead of Jack Bradbury. For those folks who'd like to learn to id
Alvardo's work - start by looking at the fingers, which are very
distinctive. Next check any human characthers, and their hanna-barbarish
body shapes (like a bean). And no, I don't know who inked it...
(I can id no Disney inker).

Marco,
Oh, my, was I disappointed with Disney's "Bambi"! I had read the book by
Felix Salten (as well as "Friends of the Forest") several years before
Disney's cartoon movie adaption came out. You definitely cannot compare
the movie to the book, however, because some of the charm and absurdity
Alice dealt with in Lewis Carroll's books, was actually present in Disney's
cartoon adaption, I expected more from "Bambi" the cartoon. Many of the
characters and interactions I loved in the book were not in the movie and
many were added that I did not care for such as Thumper and Flower. Sorry,
but to me, Thumper barely exists though his cartoon comic separate
character comic short stories are cute. They could be any rabbit though.
I could only stand to watch the movie, "Bambi" once.
In the book by Felix Salten, there was such a mystical relationship between
Bambi and the mysterious White Stag from practically the day he was born.
The reader could not help but thrill with Bambi everytime the White Stag
would make an appearance to him. I guessed early on that the White Stag
might be Bambi's father, but I do not want to be a spoiler in case you
never read it, so I will not say if I was right or wrong.
I was about 7 or 8 when I read "Bambi", "Alice In Wonderland", "Alice
Through the Looking Glass". I saw the movies a couple of years later.
Recently I acquired a copy of "Bambi's Children" by Felix Salten but have
not read it yet, I just enjoy having it to look forward to.
Actually I find Disney's more recent movie cartoon attempts very
uninteresting and unappealing and doubt that I will bother to ever see "The
Beauty and the Beast" (okay - so I bought the comic graphic adaptions),
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "The Lion King", Aladin and His Lamp", and
definitely not "Hercules". While we thrilled to see "Snow White" in my
family as young girls, it was well done and not too far off from the
written versions (and how would you gage it anyway when there are so many
versions published even in different publications of "Grimm's Fairy Tales"
which I was weaned on). Still "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" I did not
enjoy so I guess I stopped with "Pinochio" (oh, the book is so much more
enjoyable but I was young when I saw the movie and read the book later) and
the ones I have already mentioned.

One need only look through their comic book collection and count the number
of engineers, chemists, mathematicians, and other scientists who haven
written letters to Gladstone's comic line to surmise the following must be
very true (and how many more have never written that work in these areas
and grew up reading about Ducks and Mice?). I have also been enjoying
reading what other authors influenced people on the list. Actually Carl
Barks, Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll, are my favorites, followed closely by
others I have mentioned in the past. Then of course there is Rex
Stout...).
