PER-ERIK (is that spelled right?)
Canada doesn't have it's own Disney comic publisher. Like most forms of
entertainment here, the books come from the States. Gladstone just ships
'em on up here for us to enjoy too!
hmm...this leads me to wonder...
GARY:
Hypothetical question:
Would Gladstone sales suffer much if Canada *did* start up a
Disney-licenced comic publishing company? I guess the question here is,
how much of your sales are made here?

PER-ERIK (asks):

The Disney comics license for Canada is included with the USA license. The
Gladstone editions are the ones published "for" Canada, if not "in" Canada.
HARRY (says of THE KALEVALA):
> How many people do you think ever heard of avatars before they read

I think most everyone had heard the term "avatar" even if they didn't know
what it referred to in Hindu legend/religion. And I could tell the short,
individual characteristics of each of those Avatars in the course of the
adventure of a treasure hunt which really had nothing to do with them. THE
KALEVALA is an entire story and plot in itself which I would need to
explain start to finish *before* I started doing a Duck story based on it.
(At least, that's my view of it.)

In looking back at many of my old Disney Comics I noticed quite a blurring
of the lines between "Disney Universes" as they've come to be called.
We're all relatively accustomed to seeing Gus & Jaq living on Grandma
Duck's Farm, though we all surely know they originated with Disney's
"Cinderella." And we probably never thought anything of the fact that
Peg-leg Pete, Mad Madam Mim (from "Sword in the Stone") and Cap'n
Hook ("Peter Pan") can all team up in a story. Even the fact that the
Aristokittens live in France is no barrier from them meeting up with Scamp
(who lives in "New England" of the USA). Tinker Bell helping out Chip'n
Dale, or Dumbo and Pedro the Little Mail Plane having a flying contest, or
any of numerous combinations... Apparently the only pre-requesite was
that the characters in question were from a Disney film or comic book in
order for the story to happen. Time didn't even matter since most of
Disney's characters live in a realm where real time doesn't exist anyway.
However, I've noted that, at least in the USA, I can't really find an
occassion where any of the characters from different Disney programs ever
meet anymore. Sure Darkwing and GizmoDuck meet, but Launchpad's
very existance provides the bridge from Duckburg to St. Canard, so that
crossover is plausible, but any others seem unlikely these days. I'm am
neither for or against such crossovers, I am merely noticing a modern trend.
We never see stories where the Gummi Bears run into, say Robin Hood
(from Disney's cartoon fame), though the time of reference might make
such an occurance possible, nor do we see a crossover between Aladdin
and the Little Mermaid, though I'm sure about ten years ago that would
have been a certainty. I'm curious why this no longer occurs in Disney
comics. I remind you this is not a request or a complaint, just an
observation. I wonder if the concept of different "Disney Universes"
with an invisible barrier between them preventing such hap-hazard
crossovers has anything to do with the great lengths to which Marvel
Comics did to create a cohesive Marvel Universe. Or when DC Comics
revamped most of their own titles so they, too, belonged to a cohesive
universe. I know that both DC & Marvel also havea plethora of
sub-universes and dimensional pathways, etc. But there is relative order
in Marvel and DC these days, as there is, apparently in Disney as well.
Is this a follow-the-leader type thing in the case of Disney Comics? It
has even come down to Donald and Mickey seemingly living in divergent
universes, though, thankfully we do get the occassional cross-over, but
not like we use to.
Then again, could it be due to tightened lisencing on the part of Disney?
A few years ago, when DC comics had the license to produce STAR
TREK comics, they got in a heap of trouble for introducing and regularly
using Lt. Arex and Lt. M'Ress who were two regular characters from the
STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Apparently Paramount pull the
license from DC until they stopped using characters who, while were really
cool "furries" and definitely part of STAR TREK lore, were not specifically
licensed to DC. In order for DC to use them they would have had to negotiate
an agreement from Paramount to get the rights for the animated series as well
as the original series, as well as the NEXT GENERATION series, not
withstanding individual rights for each seperate movie, despite the fact that
the characters were essentially the same. Is this greed on Paramount's part?
Sheeeeesh! Anyhow, is this the reason we no longer see such crossovers?
Would Gladstone have to purchase the rights to "The Lion King" in order to
have a story where, say Mickey and Goofy are on Safari in the Pride Lands
and Simba helps them when the hyena's have them trapped in the elephant
graveyard? (As silly as that story would probably be). We've even grown
accustomed to the idea that the Duckburg of Launchpad and Webby is NOT
the same Duckburg we see regularly in U$ or DD these days (except where
it specifically states: "DUCKTALES." This trend makes for dopplegangers
that co-exist, having one Uncle $crooge in Duckburg of Earth-Prime and
another Uncle $crooge from Duckburg on Earth-D (for "DuckTales"). This
drove DC crazy in its earlier days. So I guess it basically boils down to:
We
do not see crossover stories because of 1) A trend to divide up Disney
Characters into seperate and independent universes like the big guys at
Marvel and DC, or is it due to 2) licensing agreements which would require
companies like Gladstone and Acclaim to purchase individual rights for every
character or program that they want to use, which is costly and more trouble
than it would be worth (especially if the story with Mickey and Simba was a
"One-Shot")?
Just curious.
BTW< since most or ALL of the stories dealing with Grandma Duck where
Gus & Jaq the Cinderella Mice are living on her farm are reprints, is it safe
to assume that they STILL live on Grandma Duck's farm?

JUERGEN/HARRY:
Hey, thanks for the hint. I was able to obtain "Der Donaldist 100/101"
today and the article on Scarpa REALLY was nice (nice cover by Don, too
BTW). I really love those (according to Donaldist and Frank Stajano
so-called) classic Duck and especially Mickey stories. They belong to my
alltime-favourites. It was really depressing to read "not published in
Germany" so often. :-(
The checklist was o.k. for starters. But if my memory doesn't fail me
there were several Scarpa stories printed in the 70's MM and MV, too.
Though I have to admit I haven't read my old issues for years.

Hi you guys at Ehapa. The aforementioned feature in "Der Donaldist
100/101" concludes with "Vielleicht koennten hier die Donaldisten beim
Ehapa Verlag erreichen, daá einige dieser [unveroeffentlichten Scarpa-]
Geschichten veroeffentlicht werden" (Maybe the Donaldists get Ehapa to
publish some of these [unpublished Scarpa] stories).
Any chance we might see some old Scarpa material - preferably classic
stories - in Germany? They are certainly worth it!!!
ALL:
In "Der Donaldist 100/101" also was a nice feature about the details in
Don's art. Does anybody know a website dedicated to those details in
Don's and/or Carl Barks' stories? I know there is one at D.U.C.K Hunt
for Don's D.U.C.K. dedications and mice.
In the 50's there was a terrific Mickey/Donald parody in MAD by Bill
Elder. It was reprinted in a MAD pocket book ("Inside Mad"). Does
anybody know the number of the original issue? I'd like to know because
DC is reprinting the classic MAD issues.

In this MAD story "Darnold Duck" and "Mickey Rodent" go swimming, too.
Darnold asks why Mickey doesn't take his gloves of. Mickey responds:
"... I can't! ... You see ... I had them tatooed on a long time ago!"
That pretty explains it. :-)

Here in sweden they have appeared quite a lot during the ninethies, at

Rich Bellacera asks whether Gus and Jac still live on Grandma
Duck's farm, and if so, does this respresent a "blending" of
separate Disney universes which is no longer permitted in
Disney comics. Do we know for certain that Gus and Jac are the
same mice who appeared in Cinderella? (Do they ever site any
references to their days hanging out with Cindy?) Maybe Gus and
Jac are the 1000th generation descendants of those mice, so they
are "new" characters, who properly belong to the 20th century and
the USA. Disney could then hold licenses for the "old French"
Gus and Jac and for the "new American" Gus and Jac, separately.
Just a thought....

When I saw "The Kalevala" in a heading of this Digest, I just
figured that the writer was referring to the story of the Land of
Pygmy Indians. As I'm sure you all remember, all Peeweegah dialogue
was written in the heavy rhythm of "The Song of Hiawatha". When
Longfellow wrote that work, he had in mind the Finnish epic, which
was also written in that very catchy two-step rhythm. Inasmuch as
Barks made use of that well-known (but heavy) rhythm for the purpose
of augmenting his tale's oddball atmosphere, I think that it would
be of interest if a Barks successor (Rosa?) were to take upon
himself the task of adaptation of "The Kalevala" into "Duck" terms.
It would be appropriate if such a writer used the fine, trochaic
(mirror image of "iambic") rhythm of that epic. U.S. readers might
confuse it with "The Song of Hiawatha", but since there are few of
them it doesn't make a lot of difference. Some, too, might think it
a hardship, writing whole, long stories that way. (I, myself, have
different problems -- when that rhythm gets into my head, I tend to
write things in it. I apologize for any clumsy wording you may see
here. This entire paragraph was written in that very rhythm.)

Well, there's probably a completely different reason, but here's my
explanation....
I read an English magazine called "2000AD" which -among others- features
Judge Dredd. The magazine has a letters page, and in it someone once
enquired about roughly the same thing regarding Dredd. The editors
explanation was that the material Dredd was wearing -while being black-
aquired a bluish tint in certain light( like f.eks in Neon light during the
night(of course, Donald isn't up that late ;) ).....
MARK EVANIER:
I know this is off-topic and all, but I just have to ask: Will
you and Sergio be doing any more Groo comics/albums? According to Groo #12

Yeah, I have that story in a swedish pocketbook from 1987 ( Kalle Ankas
Pocket Nr 89 ), and it's definately one of my favourite European Mickey
stories. Is there any particular reason why Gladstone can't use this story
without too much trouble? It would look great in WDC&S... It's registration
number seems to be...J1411, though it's hard to tell. Directly translated
from swedish the name would be "Mickey Mouse And The Magic Ice Sword".
DON ROSA:
Do you know a more exact date for when/where you'll be in Oslo now?
I'd like to go there and meet you again...
DAVID GERSTEIN:
Some digests ago you mentioned that "The Great Orphanage
Robbery" is banned in America. Do you know why? I looked through it (in a
big swedish hardback collecting several old Mickey stories), but couldn't
find anything really offensive. The few things that MIGHT have caused Disney
to ban it seem miniscule considering how entertaining the story is and could
have been edited out easily(I think)...

Mickey's latest poetry

DAVID GERSTEIN:
In your story "Mickey Mouse against the World", recently published in
WDC 616, Mickey writes poems which he collects in a volume called
"Vile Tales of Viler Children", describing children who are messy
housekeepers and the bad things that happen to them. The instructional
poems do encourage the children to be neater, but they also give them
nightmares. Were these poems inspired by one of Shel Silverstein's
famous Uncle Shelby's children's poems (actually a song lyric), "Sarah
Cynthia Sylvia Stout"? For those List members who don't remember it,
the poem is:
"Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
would not take the garbage out!"
[stanza after stanza of truly disgusting descriptions of her garbage
follow, but they will be omitted here for reasons of good taste and
(mainly) copyright laws]
.....
"And there, in the garbage she did hate,
Poor Sarah met an awful fate,
That I cannot right now relate,
Because the hour is much too late.
But children, remember Sarah Stout
And always take the garbage out!"
Was Mickey in fact following in the footsteps of Shel Silverstein here?
If so, can we expect to see him adopt the personna of some other word-
smiths in future stories, such as Dr. Seuss? Now that would be fun! A
blending of the worlds of Mickey Mouse and other (nowdays, better known)
tellers of children's stories.

set in Finland:
Will I ever do a Duck story about Finland? Since my last visit to Finland,
<<I have had an idea in my notes to do a story based on your Finnish epic
tale of THE KALEVALA, but I have two problems: first, the story is so long
and... weird... that I don't have the time to read the whole thing, and
need to find a condensation or a sorta CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED version to help
me (I do lots of research, but I can't allow myself to spend TOO much time
on such research since my pay is not based on the authenticity or
complexity of my stories, just my page count). Secondly, I'm afraid that
no one outside of Finland knows any details of THE KALEVALA if they've even
heard of it (I hadn't)... so the effort might be wasted, except for readers
in Finland (even though, per capita, I think there are more Disney comics
readers in Finland than anywhere else).
So, I *hope* to someday do a Duck story set in Finland.... but don't hold
your breath waiting.>>
Harry Fluks made a point I would have made before he beat me to it -- given
the proper reference material, one can certainly create a good story out of
an unfamiliar mythology. Aside from Don's success with "Ten Avatars," how
many people had heard of most of the legendary creatures the nephews "saw" in
his early ten-pager "Mythological Menagerie"? These two efforts were
certainly not "wasted," given readers' positive reactions.
I wish I could suggest a specific KALEVALA reference for Don's purposes, but
the best advice I can offer is for him to seek out one of those
popular-audience books on famous myths and legends. That would be the most
likely place to find a "simplified" (or "streamlined," if you prefer) version
of the Finnish epic.

PER-ERIK:
Quebec, to my knowledge, does not print it's own comic books featuring
lisenced characters speaking French. Chances are, shops in that province
who don't want to carry English comic books, simply don't. Some shops
probably do. I've never actually visited Quebec, nor do I have any
knowledge of Gladstones shipping destinations in that area of the country,
so I can't tell you for sure.
TARJEI:
In 1880, $crooge arrived in Louisville, not St. Louis, Kentucky.
Louisville is the hometown of the Kentucky Derby, and a certain Duck
artist we all seem to enjoy the work of. Otherwise, great work on the
timeline! I'm going to print it out and use it as a nice reference guide!

Pardon my ignorance, but has Rosa's "Avatars" story been published in the
U.S.? I seem to recall someone saying so, but my subscription is spotty; I
haven't been receiving all my issues, and the comics stores where I live
don't carry much Duck stuff. And here I live only an hour or two out from my
favorite artist!!!!! THIS is irony.
