RICH:

I guess only if I send you a copy, which can be done only if that partuclar
issue is still available, which in turn is usually not the case when I come
to speak about it in this ML :-(
BUT if enough of you tell me that they are interested, I might consider
putting a scanned copy of "Daisy's dazed days" on my WWW pages. AND if only
a few are interested, I might send you that same scanned copy as an
attachment...
and while we are discussing the subject,
FRANCOIS (welcome aboard!) :
>
>This story has the title "La graziosa temeraria" in "The Complete Carl
>Barks -- Cronologie". What was the title you decided to choose?
>
Whose <Cronologie>? Not Fossati's. He has it as #442 but just calls it
"Diario rebus di Paperina" thus describing it but not trying to translate
the original title. Aren't you confusing it with the last Duck story ever
drawn by Barks, "The Dainty Daredevil", from WALT DISNEY COMICS DIGEST 5,
11/1968 ?
There is nothing "temeraria" (daredevil) in DDD! Contrarywise...
You ask me how I translated the title. Well, badly. I knew I couldn't give
in Italian the same effect of three words sounding almost the same, and I
then I tried to find an allitterative effect, but this too was in vain (how
do you translate "days" and "Daisy" in Italian starting with the same
letter???) so at last I ended up with a literal translation of the meaning,
period. It was: "Le giornate storte di Paperina".
On the phone, Lidia referred to the page as "Le giornate papere di Paperina"
but honestly I shall not be envious if it will turn out that this has been
chosen as the best title ;-)
Now on to different subjects.
FRANCOIS again:

>I'm French, I'm twenty years old and I'm interested in Disney comics,

I am getting more and more persuaded that there is a link between scientific
interests [Mathematics, Engeneering ;-), etc. etc.] and Duck fondness.

Disregarding racism and fear of the word "Indian," I think we can do
better than that. How about this:
In an issue of National Geographic, Scrooge sees a picture of members of
a recently discovered tribe of Indians in Borneo. They bear a
remarkable resemblance to the Space Apaches he left on the "Island in
the Sky" asteroid. These Indians have a legend that says they came to
Earth thousands of years ago from the stars, and arrived in a golden
ship.
Scrooge's curiosity is piqued, especially about the gold, and he travels
with D and HD&L to Borneo, and after locating the tribe, find an
inscription that leads them into the jungle where they discover the
scarce remains of a wrecked space vehicle, apparently the one the
Indians used. It is not made of gold, but within the wreckage they find
references to the mother-ship that brought them to Earth: an artificial
world that can travel between the stars, but which looks like an
asteroid. It was powered from within, and in order to provide a home for
the Indians while they were in transit, was covered with grass, trees,
lakes and air. It was also said to be sealed with a thick shell of
gold.
Scrooge realizes he once visited such an asteroid while scouting
locations in space for his money bin, the same asteroid he used to save
the lives of a tribe of space Indians that resembled the ones they were
visiting on Earth. But he didn't know then about the gold.
Scrooge decides to return to the asteroid of the Space Apaches using the
space freighter he had built in "The 24-Carat Moon," so he could haul
lots of gold. On arriving he finds the Space Apaches doing well, but
realizes that to extract the gold from the shell of the asteroid, he
will have to destroy their world.
While thinking over what he should do, Scrooge finds an edifice the
Space Apaches have constructed, a non-working full-sized model of his
old Sky Fish Space Wagon, built from leaves, branches and grass. Scrooge
realizes that the Space Apaches regard him as a delivering god, have
been hoping he would return, and that to destroy their world for gold
would be unethical even for him.
Now Scrooge really begins to wonder what he should do. He would like to
relocate the Indians to Earth, mine the gold, and sell the huge space
ship/asteroid for scrap, or at least set the whole planetoid up as a
vacation resort for tourists.
Then while exploring, HD&L find ruins on the asteroid that lead to an
underground command bridge. There they find that their is no gold shell
composing the asteroid's walls after all, and that the asteroid itself
is serving as a beacon to the stars, signaling to the descendants of the
Space Apaches. They also learn that a huge 24-carat moon-sized vehicle
was used to transport members of the tribe from the asteroid to Earth
long ago, and was left in a tidally locked orbit beyond Earth's moon.
Scrooge realizes he has already acquired the 24-carat moon once located
beyond Earth's moon (in Uncle Scrooge 24), and returns instead to Space
Wheel 5, where they charge $1,000 a pint for regular. HD&L have hot
dogs, Scrooge and D have coffee.

Well, actually I wrote those texts exclusively for use by Gladstone comics
when they were reprinting the "Life of $crooge". What I was momentarilly
forgetting (SILLY me!) was that ANYTHING that appears in a Gladstone Disney
comic book automatically becomes the property of Disney... and any other
licensed Disney publisher on the planet can use ANY of it, including my
texts, and there's no seeking of permission or extra payments. So, the
texts you see in KOMIX
are actually the same ones written for Gladstone. And I certainly don't
begrudge the Greeks using it... it's Disney that sets these policies, not
KOMIX. Actually, I am very PROUD to have any of my stories or texts appear
in KOMIX -- it's one of the very nicest looking and best editted Disney
comics on this planet! I especially like their other text pieces which are
very well written by the KOMIX editors! You in Greece are lucky to have
such an excellent Disney publisher! They have Disney comics for ALL types
of readers... kiddies through adult collectors. An excellent system managed
by an excellent editorial team.

The story was indeed written by Kurt Behnke according to the Egmont
weekly reports.
By the way, DAVID:
One of your stories (the fifth in France) has been published recently in
Super Picsou: "The Sheepish Rancher", drawn by Vicar. With quite a bad

(Vicar himself?).
DIDER:
Thanks for your kind words...
About Carpi: maybe you can ask him his opinion on recent Disney comics

Disney comics artists think about Disney comics in general...)
HARRY again:
>What exactly do you mean by "unpublished" drawings? Drawings Don did >for other occasions, but that were not published then [...], or >all-new Rosa art especially for the French edition?
I mean brand-new Don Rosa art especially done for Picsou.
Note : the date I gave (october 1997) may change...
They will also reprint old Rosa stories (but I guess this is less
interesting).
>If I'm not mistaken, either the Italians, or Gladstone (or both) have >a complete original version of that story in their archives.
The French have the films of an old Italian reprint, with half of the
pages in black and white (that can be used) and the other half in
colours (that can not be used of course). But the editors in France said
they were sure the Dutch and Danish do have black and white films.
To all the Swedish people here:
Alberto Becattini said in "Disney Comics" that original stories were
created in Sweden in the 30s in "Musse Pig Tidlingen". But no examples
of art are shown in his book. Is there someone from Sweden that knows
these stories (and that can make a short description)?
To MARCO:
>Whose <Cronologie>?
The book is in black and white, has no date, and no authors are given.
It is an index of Barks stories with reprints in the US and Italian
titles. Do you know who made it?
>Aren't you confusing it with the last Duck story ever drawn by Barks, >"The Dainty Daredevil", from WALT DISNEY COMICS DIGEST 5, 11/1968 ?

This was first serialized in Mickey Mouse magazine abbout 20 years ago.
What you read is probably a reprint, where all the chapters of the series
were collected in one volume. The series outlined the adventures of the
duck family through history, starting in ancient Egypt, and ending in
present-day US. Each chapter was an adventure in a different historic
period, involving ancestors of Scrooge, Donald and the boys, and an
ancestor of John Rockerduck. I wonder what Americans would have made of
it, given that Rockerduck is virtually unknown to them.

Actually, the first Disney comics had been published in a series called
"Gelio kai Hara" (laughter and joy), published by the Atlantis publishing
house. This was a title similar to Dell's four-colour series, where
they would print all sorts of stuff. I remember reading Uncle Scrooge
(possibly by Barks), Mickey Mouse (by Murry), Little Bad Wolf (I think
this is the only place I've seen Zeke wolf's name printed in Greece,
though it had been distorted to "Tzeky"), and other stuff like Bugs
Bunny and Little Lulu. You can still buy old reprints of the Little
Lulu stories at Atlantis' bookstore in Athens.

Since the magazine is almost as old as you, *of course* it is old! Others,
however, would say that it is a *new* magazine. :-(

Sounds like these are similar to the Disney Adventures magazine that
is printed in the US. Lots of "other" stuff, and few, low-quality
comics. When my subscription to it expired, I did not renew.
The publishers sent me a couple of letters to inform me of all the
wonderful stuff that "my kid" would be missing, and this only strengthened
my decision not to renew. I am not a kid (even though I am a child at
heart), and even if I were a child, I would not want to be treated as
such: part of the fascination of Disney comics is that they do not talk
down to children, treating them rather as young adults.

Per will give you the definitive answer, but I would think that anything
other than plain English text will only cause problems, especially in
the digests. Thus, no pictures, colors, HTML, fonts, or Greek text,
I'm afraid.

On this topic, a long time ago I had sent Arthur an updated version of
the Greek character names HTML page for his web site, with the names
of all characters I could think of, including the complete Duck family
tree, given in Greek (using small pictures for each individual letter)
and a phonetic equivalent in English. Did anything come out of it?

Given that a cubic acre is a six-dimensional unit of measurement, where
do you base the above estimate?

Um, Gladstone`s back issue department?
