ALL:
My Web pages are being currently reformed and I want to make a page on
Disney comics, including the most applicable links. Therefore, if you
keep a Disney comics Web page or know where are good related pages,
please let me informed. Thanks!
The next step: how about a Disney Comics WWW Ring, banner trading (I
know Geocities, for instance, doesn't have much taste for banners, but
who cares?) or something similar?

I do not wish to dispute you and Mr. Becattini's findings, but I'm a
little confused here. I don't understand why it would matter what
coloring or markings the cat has as interpretted by different artists
as long as the comic itself acknowledges that this is suppose to be
the cat named Tabby (owned by Donald Duck)? I agree that "Tabby" is
indeed a common name for a cat (especially) in America, but it's not a
common practice (to the best of my knowledge) for the SAME cat owner to
give all of his/her cats the exact same name (unless your name is Lisa
Simpson and your dead cat was named "Snowball"). ;-) Seriously though,
I have seen the image of Figaro (a little black & white kitten) owned by
everyone from Donald, Alice in Wonderland, Mickey, etc.except the name
is always specific to that cat (for example, even though the film "Alice
in Wonderland" depicted a little orange and yellow kitten named Dinah,
in one comic book version I have, Dinah is still her name, but she is
the spitting image of Figaro. Again, Mickey owns a little black & white
cat named Leeza Belle, etc. To me, it makes perfect sense that Disney
artists (especially those not privy to previous model sheets used) might
interpret Tabby or any other cat used to look any way they decide they
want to depict it. This is unfortunate, but I don't understand why a
different rendering of Tabby would necessitate it becoming a different
Tabby? IMHO as long as the cat in question is owned by Donald and is
named "Tabby" shouldn't that cat *be* the one and only Tabby (as owned
by Donald?). It is also true that a "Tabby Cat" is a particular *type*
of cat, but those cats usually have stripes, something none of the
versions of Tabby I've seen have. As for the versions I've seen where
it is my understanding that the cat in question is indeed "Tabby" he
has been colored orange, white, cream, tan and brown. The *white*
Italian versions are about the most consistent renderings I've seen.
I wish artists would be more consistent, but even Bolivar the St.
Bernard, Butch the bulldog and Fifi the Pekingese have changed from
artist to artist. Sightings of Ratty the Beagle Boys cat or Spitfire
Madam Mim's cat seem to be much more consistent.
Please enlighten me on this. Thanks.

Hey! I finally got caught up reading my digests. Great! I learned that
there is some lawsuit going on about Carl Barks. I would be very
grateful if somebody would explain to me what exactly is going on. If
that has alrady happened on the list, please send it to my private
e-mail address. Thanks you very much.
Also I have noticed that Disney seems to have purposely "banned"
Donald and the other Duck characters in the USA. All you ever see is
that Mouse and the characters of their recnt movies. I don`t really
understand that, because Donald used to be far more popular than the
Mouse in all concerns, meaning more busines$$ for the Walt Disney
Company. I just hope they'll leave their evil hands off the comic
books...

To my mind this is an interesting and very important question.
I think the answer is that few standards are immutable, though the
most important stand the test of time, while still others are
forgotten only to be rediscovered. I think a reasonable
understanding of recorded history bears that out.
So regarding contemporary or future vogues, ideologies and truths,
I think social discourse decides these things when (if) they are
perceived as needed. It is an unclear, hurly burly process at
best. Rarely are such decisions codified, and even these are
subject to change.
Often such distinctions are regional, cultural, or theological, to
list just a few out of the enormous number of possible groupings.
The distinctions between one grouping and another often differ on
a given subject (though one may be a happy member of each) and a
general distinction supported by a group, on inspection, splinters
into individual disagreement when one becomes specific enough.
Ultimately, I think the distinctions are never distinct.
Rather there is a roiling confluence of opinion which moves along
in eternal reformation, the direction of which is most conspicuous
in retrospect.
But that's one measure of the health of a society: it's ability to
examine and weigh individual viewpoints, and endure.
In today's world I find it especially important (doubly so online)
to distinguish between fact (independently observable, replicable,
attributable viewpoints) and opinion (reputed, vague and anonymous
assertions).
Or put another way, though everyone is equally entitled to their
individual view, not all views are equally well formed; else "the
world is flat" and "the world is rounded" would be of equal
weight.
I would rather hear from a thoughtful person with whom I
disagreed, than from one who seems thoughtless, or disagreeable.
Everything I said above I believe applies to the decisions
regarding the (on) topic of "What is appropriate or not for Disney
character comics?"
But since I've spent a lot of time thinking about such things,
I've tried to say it in a way that is abstract enough to be
applicable to all aspects of apprehended existence.
I view that as part of my social obligation as one lucky enough to
be allowed to tell stories from my particular view.

This sounds a little like a mix of two different comics I have:
1) Mickey Mouse Club Parade #1 (Dell Giant) which includes
the *blanket* story aout the mine which is a thinly veiled
attempt to tie all the stories together. The only new
material in it is actually the *blanket* story mentioned.
The stories intersperced include:
* "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot"
* "The Wise Little Hen"
* "The Adventures of Ambrose the Robber Kitten"
* "Peculiar Penguins"
2) The New Mickey Mouse Club Fun Book (Western) which
doesn't include the above stories, but does have many MMC
profiles which could be the same ones you mentioned, and
a large number of reprinted tales crossing the entire spectrum
of *types* of Disney comics. Each *chapeter* of the book
has a theme (i.e., "Pluto's doggy friends", "silly symphonies",
adventures, etc.):
* Mickey Mouse in "One Foggy Knight" ( from MM#92)
* "Lady and the Enchanted Forest" (LTA#1)
* "Old Trusty" (LTA #1)
* "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (OS#614)
* "The Polar Bear" (N. of T. #842)
* "The Brave Little Tailor" (WR- MMC #1)
* "Three Little Pigs" (WR-MMC #1)
* "The Grasshopper and the Ant" (WR-MMC #1)
* "The Reluctant Dragon" (SS #7)
* "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (SS#2)
* "Pablo the Cold-Blooded Penguin" (SS#3)
* "Niok, The Little One of the Forest" (SS#8)
* "The Flying Gauchito" (SS#3)
* "Mickey Mouse and the Wounderful Wizzix" (WR-MM#100)
Off hand I don't know the storycodes for the original printings
of the comics reprinted in the Dell Giant, but if interested I'm
sure that data can be found in the DC Database, and I'm sure the
comics listed with a "WR" (for Western) are NOT the original
source for those tales, but those are the storycodes listed in
TNMMCFB above. As for the profiles of the MMC members, they
are all for members who were on the TV show in the 1970s (like
Scott, Angel, "Pop", etc.), and not the original members (like
Cubby, Sharon, Annette, etc). However, as these same "WR"
codes indicate, there must be a comic my collection is currently
lacking (aside from all the other ones I don't have) which must
be called "Mickey Mouse Club" #1 published by Western that
is different from the Dell Giant... infact it could be the model from
which the "Clube do Mickey" you have is based. I dunno.
I hope this helps your own research.
ABOUT TABBY:
In my previous posting I said that "Tabby Cats" are usually striped.
Well, before someone rightly corrects me (especially felinophiles),
Yes, I do know that they can also be "spotted", still, it is a matter
of stripes or brindles that marks a cat as being a "tabby", and, aside
from the sometimes "black-tipped" ears I've noticed on Tabby, he
is usually a solid colored cat, except, I presume, in the cases where
his/her markings were similar to Figaro. I guess for many artists at
who work for Disney comics, Figaro is the *default* or *basic*
Disney cat look. I certainly don't mind since Figaro is among my
three favorite Disney characters. ;-)
Actually, the name *tabby* does bring up an interesting question.
Is Tabby a male or female cat? Back to the subject of *tabbies*,
aside from their markings, another definition for a *tabby* is also
it's *gender* which is *female*, however, Donald's Tabby always
seems more masculine to me. Oy!

* "The Grasshopper and the Ant" (WR-MMC #1)
* "The Reluctant Dragon" (SS #7)
* "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (SS#2)

Off hand I don't know the storycodes for the original printings
of the comics reprinted in the Dell Giant, but if interested I'm
sure that data can be found in the DC Database, and I'm sure the
comics listed with a "WR" (for Western) are NOT the original
source for those tales, but those are the storycodes listed in
TNMMCFB above. As for the profiles of the MMC members, they
are all for members who were on the TV show in the 1970s (like
Scott, Angel, "Pop", etc.), and not the original members (like
Cubby, Sharon, Annette, etc). However, as these same "WR"
codes indicate, there must be a comic my collection is currently
lacking (aside from all the other ones I don't have) which must
be called "Mickey Mouse Club" #1 published by Western that
is different from the Dell Giant... infact it could be the model from
which the "Clube do Mickey" you have is based. I dunno.
I hope this helps your own research.
ABOUT TABBY:
In my previous posting I said that "Tabby Cats" are usually striped.
Well, before someone rightly corrects me (especially felinophiles),
Yes, I do know that they can also be "spotted", still, it is a matter
of stripes or brindles that marks a cat as being a "tabby", and, aside
from the sometimes "black-tipped" ears I've noticed on Tabby, he
is usually a solid colored cat, except, I presume, in the cases where
his/her markings were similar to Figaro. I guess for many artists at
who work for Disney comics, Figaro is the *default* or *basic*
Disney cat look. I certainly don't mind since Figaro is among my
three favorite Disney characters. ;-)
Actually, the name *tabby* does bring up an interesting question.
Is Tabby a male or female cat? Back to the subject of *tabbies*,
aside from their markings, another definition for a *tabby* is also
it's *gender* which is *female*, however, Donald's Tabby always
seems more masculine to me. Oy!

O.K., so to be P.C. comics can't use the following colors: :-)
*Red* can't be used cause it denotes the *evil* Red empire and is derrogative
to Native Americans.
*White* denotes the *evil* caucasian race.
*Yellow* because is is a derogatory term for Asian races, especially Chinese.
*Black* because it is derogatory to Africans and their decendants, because the
'color' denotes "bad" or "evil."
*Pink* because so many folks are scared of it (especially males). ;-)
*Blue* because is it symbolic of depression and suicidal tendancies.
*Green* denotes envy and greed, and selfish materialism.
I can't think of any reasons why Purple, Brown or Orange might be banned.
(Please know I am just kidding)

gentlemen,
A long time ago (probably 20 years or more), I saw in our local =
newspapers (Sao Paulo - BRAZIL) a report about Disney Comics beeing =
published in LATIN, probably in Europe.
My obvious questions are:
1) Does somebody know something about this?
2) Are such Disney comics in LATIN still regularly avaiable for buying?
Or are there, at least, collector files avaiable somewhere?
3) I am looking forward to meet a Disney character again, which we =
called ESQUALIDUS here in Brazil . He was a very thin extraterrestrian =
with a large head and very clever, using the most unusual tools to solve =
the most unusual problems. If I could find that guy in Latin, It would =
be great!
regards
Martin Loebmann

I just read the "The Last Lords of Eldorado" and boyobyoby, was
it great!!
There won't be any spoilers in here, just a little "I've read it,
so nyaahaa"!
You sure have something to look forward to, all you duck lovers
out there.
And I'm glad there are many different opinions on the story too
:-)
I have also made my very first homepage, and although it's not
entirely a Disney comics page, there's some stuff in there about
Don Rosa's trip to Norway. And on another comic strip.
Check it out, and please let me know what you think. I sure need
the feedback to make it better :-)

If there's anyone on this list located in the UK, I'd also be very
grateful if they could pipe up :-)
I just called Fleetway in London to investigate the posibility of
purchasing a subscription to "Mickey and Friends" (the weekly comic book
magazine) but was told that it had been recently cancelled.
The person I spoke with said that Fleetway currently has two
disney-related publications: "Disney & Me" and some Pooh thing.
Does anyone know what these are like? I wanted to get "Mickey &
Friends" because it was basically a weekly comic book with Donald,
Mickey, and $crooge stories in it.
I might be interested in "Disney & Me" if it is also a comic book, but
not if it's an article-based publication, like the U.S.'s "Disney
Adventures".
