Steve:
> I think a posting I made saying welcome to Alberto never showed up
I received that posting. I get separate messages here, and I can't check
now whether the message was in a digest as well.
Alberto has configures his mailer in a way that it sends his message
twice: in plain text and in HTML. Some mailers apparently interpret the
HTML for the entire digest, while my mailer simply prints a lot of
rubbish with Alberto's messages.
ALBERTO: could you please configure your mailer in a way that it sends
plain text only??

Ah, yes. But actually D 92547, "The Excuse," while indeed a
Vicar story set in the Stone Age, is not featuring Princess Oona. (How'd
this mixup happen?)
The others are indeed Oona stories:
D 93505 "Princess Oona"
D 93506 "Oona Goes Shopping"
D 96246 "Working Girl"
All by Unn and Stefan Printz-Pahlson, with art by Vicar. I've
actually called Unn in here to sit beside me as I write this, and she
points out that any similarities between Oona and "An Education for
Thursday" are purely cooincidental or entirely subconscious! ;-)
Oona's still in the Printz-Pahlsons' Duckburg, so she'll be back
again, too, although not for a while. Keep your eyes open for flying
clubs!

Hi, all.
In my last letter I said...
> Ah, yes. But actually D 92547, "The Excuse," while indeed a
Vicar story set in the Stone Age, >is not featuring Princess Oona.
(How'd this mixup happen?)
Oops. D 92547 is set in the *Viking* age, another favorite era
here at Egmont. (But hey, just the same, caveduck Princess Oona isn't in
it. I was right about *that!*)

I just got a new issue of the Danish Donald Duck weekly comic, ANDERS AND. I
don't have it in front of me, so I can't give the cover date, but its the one
with Donald skiing on the cover, having just triumphantly crossed the finish
line (under a big sign that says "Maal," or goal), not realizing he's about to
ski straight into a tree. And the stories in this issue have credits! If this
isn't the first week the credits started appearing, I just didn't notice them
before. I was at the Egmont seminar in Copenhagen last September when the new
policy was announced, but I guess it took this long to go into effect...
actually, I was expecting to see names in the comics at the first of the year.
Data trackers will note that one writer, Per Hedman, a Swede living in Denmark,
is quite prolific with 10- and 12-page Duck stories. He turned in a nice one
this issue with his yarn of Scrooge's ingenious scheme for shipping a load of
gold to Duckburg right under the Beagle Boys' noses. Oddly, it starts in an
American Wild West sort of ghost town and ends up in a very European railroad
station....
I have to admit the cover made me cringe a bit. By an unfortunate coincidence,
two prominent Americans recently died about a week apart in skiing accidents of
the "Watch out for that treeeee--!" sort Donald is two seconds away from. (And
if only to show that Death plays no favorites, they were well-known politicians
each representing one of America's two major political parties. One was a
Kennedy and the other Sonny of Sonny & Cher fame.) Naturally, the Donald cover
was done long ago without any thought of fatal American celebrity ski
accidents, but it still kind of bothered me to see it. It just wasn't funny any
more...

I am considering getting one of the sets of Carl Barks Library
Albums from Gladstone. Would you recommend the Uncle Scrooge, Donald
Duck, or WDC&S sets? Does one set appear to have more acknowledged
Barks classics than the other sets?
On a related topic, is the ten volume Carl Barks Library set
still a worthwhile purchase, or would it make more sense to just get the
three album series mentioned above? Has anyone seen the ten volume set
for sale at a reasonable price recently?
Please forgive this newbie for all the questions. If you feel
it would be more appropriate to e-mail me a response directly, please do
so.
Thanks for your help!

Here in Norway that cover appeared on issue 9. Today I received #11, and it
too contains credits! As far as I can see it's the first issue to do so.
The first story is by William Van Horn, so I didn't exactly have to much
trouble identifying it anyway. :) It's called "De Slag Som Livet Gir", or
roughly translated: "The Knocks That Life Give". I haven't time to read it
right now, so I can't say what it's about...

Here in Norway that cover appeared on issue 9. Today I received #11, and it
too contains credits! As far as I can see it's the first issue to do so.
The first story is by William Van Horn, so I didn't exactly have to much
trouble identifying it anyway. :) It's called "De Slag Som Livet Gir", or
roughly translated: "The Knocks That Life Give". I haven't time to read it
right now, so I can't say what it's about...

I guess by now you must have figured out how it works. When you
subscribed, you got some mails about the Mailing List and how to deal
with it. Please keep these mails somewhere, they can be handy!
The only other advice I can give is: stay with us for a week or so, to
see what this list is about!

I think that's a matter of taste. US, DD and WDC have some of the very
best Barks stories. If I would *have* to make the choice, I think I'd
choose Uncle Scrooge. But I would be very sorry to miss WDC and DD...

If you want to have a *complete* set of Barks stories, you would go for
the b/w CBL. The colour albums do not reprint *all* Barks' stories. On
the other hand, the colour albums sometimes contain a better version of
a story, or an article, or story board drawings, that were not in the
b/w CBL.
If you only want to enjoy the *best* stories of Barks, then the colour
albums would suffice.

But it's a "Viking age" with dinosaurs! I was also going to respond to Eta's

you answered before me, so you could check the details properly with Unn.
I'd like to raise my sailor's cap to all you guys at Egmont Copenhagen.
Whoever's responsible, I'm seeing a lot of good stuff in the weeklies now.
Not only all the "new" writers, but also the kind of reprints that I've been
missing for years - that is, not only Barks, but a diverse choice of
characters and "classic" American artists. I hope these will continue way
beyond the celebrations of the Scandinavian weeklies' 50th anniversary!
Quackings to you all,

Oona and the Time Machine
Message 25 -

Maybe it should be noted that in Oona's first appearance (D 93505), the time
machine clearly is the same one as in the "Time Machine" album series. A
point is even made in the dialog that Gyro finally has repaired his machine,
after so-and-so many years of work with it. This might be a reason to
connect/confuse the different stories, as somebody seemed to suggest. (But
it still doesn't explain what D 92547 has to do with anything!)
So, obviously, the Ducks did return home with the damaged machine, although
we never saw it happen. Who's gonna write that story?

Comic version of The Black Cauldron???

I am very much intrerested in the forgotten Disney movie "The Black
Cauldron", which I saw when I was about seven years old- unfortunately
it has never been re-released on video or in the theaters.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there ever was a comic adaption of
this movie.

I was just surfing around the Net, looking at some of my favorite Disney
comics pages. I happened to notice a few things on Per Starback's
webpages. In the pages on individual stories where Goldie appears (yes,
I know I'm obsessed! ;-) there is something odd.
After Goldie's name in the characters section, it says " (strange) ".
Huh? Strange? Why? What is this supposed to mean? I don't
understand.
Someone please fill me in on this!

HARRY FLUKS --
I grew up in southern Louisiana (the Mississippi Delta
region), which is a bit different, linguistically, from -- well,
from just about any other place in the world, I guess. So it is
statistically insignificant that as a child, the only way I ever
heard "turquoise" pronounced was "TUR-kwahz". It seems to be
different when people from other areas say it.
MICHAEL NAIMAN --
Marc Davis is to be interviewed in the next issue of
HOGAN'S ALLEY (which, according to Tom Heinjes, should be out
around April, but I've heard that before...). Apparently, he's a
great celebrity in animation circles (which I see the periphery
of, but don't actually travel in), so it's not like Grandey and
Morby are promoting somebody they pulled off the street to
stardom. I wonder how it'll work out this time...
Anybody know their history before they sunk their claws
into Barks?
ROBERT P. SKOFF --
Which Barks set contains the "acknowledged classics" is
mostly a matter of which stories you acknowledge as classics.
The easy answer, of course, is they're all classics, so get 'em
all.
If you like the longer adventure stories, go for Uncle
Scrooge. Unless you dislike the Scrooge character, in which case
you should go for Donald Duck Adventures. If you like the shorter
comedies, mostly in a domestic setting, go for the Comics &
Stories collections.
Personally, I like Scrooge best, but maybe that's just
because those are the ones I was reading as they came out. The
Donald series has a lot of good stories too. And I've always
enjoyed the WDC&S stuff as well. Ya pays yer money, ya takes
yer choice.
DWIGHT DECKER --
I'd already had it confirmed by Byron Erickson that
#1998-9 is indeed the first Danish weekly with credits. (The
reason I asked is because I'd heard elsewhere that credits had
already started, and was wondering why I couldn't find them --
turns out it's in Germany that they started two months earlier.)
This is a minor personal disappointment, because it was in
#1998-8 that an Uncle Scrooge story of mine, "Et sporgsmal om
stil" (my title: "The New Look") appeared. But hey -- when I
wrote it, I wasn't expecting ANY chance of being credited for it.
To miss the credits by one week isn't too bad -- if nothing else,
at least my by-line will appear right next to those of Carl
Barks, Don Rosa, et al. in FUTURE issues.
