My theory is that Don gets more critique because he is popular. He has a
load of fans, and some of them say that he's The New Barks. Note that
Don himself never said that, nor has he any ambition to become so.
Loads of praising always generate a counter-reaction of severe
criticism, and some of it is more directed to the Rosa-FANS than to Rosa
himself.

I was somewhat surprised myself to learn that I had changed nationality.
However Gladstone managed to put my correct adress under the letter
itself.
To those who thought my letter was a bit cryptic, read Bruce Hamiltons
entry in WDC 609 wich triggered my response. Gladstone actually rewrote
my letter before they put it in!

True enough.
Still though, I felt the possibility of Gladstone being able to distribute
in Europe again was a fairly interesting topic.

The shop I go to isn't actually solely a comics store; it just happens to
have lots of foreign magazines and comics. It's actually more of a kiosk,
and there are numerous people working in it, none of which seem to have any
idea what is going on. As a matter of fact, these guys don't seem very
aware of what comics they are *stocking*! So here it's kind of hard to get

I really enjoyed your story in Donald Duck & Co #12 (D 96382)! You seem to
have a knack for packing in lots and lots of action in a relatively small
amount of pages. One of the more interesting main-stories in the comic so
far this year.
While on the subject of #12, the Goofy story with the dragon (D 97273) is
particularly funny, and I'm really beginning to enjoy Rodriques' art.

Well, it' a good idea, but (for what concerns ME), I don't know
anything about it! Who told about this argument? I'm sure that shall
be IMPOSSIBLE (for what concern ME) that in the next-to-come Lucca
Comics a book about Rota shall come out. No publisher is allowed to
get the Disney pictures to reprint, non line has been written and no
project of this kind exists!
Maybe someone made some confusion with the fact that ZIO PAPERONE just
started to reprint the Andold saga, with some articles of explanations
(the first one is by me, in fact), and that Alberto Becattini just
wrote a complete Rota's Chronology, scheduled (I think) for ZP (but
not immediately);
Indeed, thanks for the idea!

"Sproing" goes to Carl Barks
Message 143 -

Dear readers,
I would like to tell you all that Carl Barks has recieved his second
"Sproing" Award on Friday the 13th of March, 13:13.
In the issue 74 of the digest Nils Lid Hjort sent some information on
the "Sproing" Award. Yet, due to understandable reasons he did not yet
know who would win it.
Here is a shortened reprint of the letter, which you can jump over if
you like:
>The Norwegian Comics Association awards two prizes every year:
>one for the "best" comic book published that year by Norwegian
>artists, and one for the "best" comic book published in Norway
>that year but by non-Norwegian artists.
>
>The award is called a "Sproing" prize, and consists of something
>that looks like it may be broken five minutes later (and sometimes
>does) plus a cash award (?) plus a diploma (I hope). (And, frankly,
>I'm not sure about the mechanisms that lead to the award decisions.
>Somebody on this list should enlighten us.)
>
>Among previous international Sproing prize winners are Carl Barks,
>Don Rosa, and Art Spiegelmann ("Maus"). The rules are such that Barks
>could win with his 1950 story "Ancient Persia" many many years later,
>for example, namely the year in which this story first was published
>in Norway.
So, Carl Barks gracefully wanders away with one more "Sproing" Award.
This time the spiral spring - the main element of the prise - even did
not fall off. It was a representative from Egmont Publishing house, who
recieved the prise and shall handle it over to Carl Barks.
The story, which recieved the prise is called "Marco Polo's treasure" (I
am unsure if it is actually called so in English for it is a rough
translation of the Norwegian title). The story takes place in a slightly
masked Vietnam under a slightly masked Vietnam war. So it is not at all
strange that this story had previously problems with being published in
the US.
This new edition of the story, published by Egmont Publishing house is
somewhat softened, though it still bears the marks, which an angry and
agitated Carl Barks left on it.
What concerns the technical part of the award, I am unsure if there is a
money prise, though there is a diploma, which goes to the publishing
house, which published the winning comics.
Every member of the Norwegian Comics Association
(http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7700/) has a possibility of
voting for one of the 5 reccomended comics. The one that gets most
votes, gets the prise. The comics can get reccomended either my the
directors of the Assosiation or by the members.
That is how much I know...
Stanislav.
PS. Those, who like Don Rosa, can visit

"Frankie" is a nickname for Francisco Figueras, an artist who works for
the Comicup studio (at Barcelona!). "Frankie" pencilled and inked a few
gag pages with "Ellsworth" for France in the "Journal de Mickey", in
1994 (these gags are badly drawn, IMHO). Frankie apparently did a lot of
*inking* work for GP in the Netherlands (with Fred Milton?). Carmen
Perez (also from Comicup) did a few very good stories for Disney-France,
and for the Netherlands too.

In Uncle $crooge in Color, I was under the impression that The Lemonade
King (is this the correct title) had been created by Barks especially for=
that book. I am probably mistaken, though.
What story was created especially for WD's U$, His Life and Times ?
I will have to check back those two books this week-end to sort things ou=
t.
Thanks to all of you for helping me improve my listing, please keep the
info pouring in !

There's also gnash, cache, slash, crash, flash, trash,
smash, clash, thrash, sash, calabash, and, of course, ash. None
of them looked (to me, at that moment) like good candidates for
a first line to the couplet I needed, so I went with a different,
but also appropriate sound effect.
No doubt, I just didn't rack my brain hard enough, and a
dozen people will reply with couplets that would have worked
fine. All I can say is, too bad you guys weren't there when I was
sitting alone with a sharpened pencil, staring at blank word
balloons. No use trying to second-guess me now.
Still, I thought "poop" and "shloop", which is what I
came up with, worked okay.
Quack, Don
