Good Luck with that work! They are numerous!

I will look forward to seeing your page.
I can almost say right out that it will be one of my favourites.. :-)

Isn't anyone compiling a homepage dedicated to "in-jokes"?
I know of the "D.u.c.k - hunt", but through the years I have seen
many occurances of characters similar to real people.

Carl Barks included a self-portrait at least once.

In Miquels works you'll find a smiling Barks in one panel.
(I think it's the Matterhorn story, but I can't be sure right now.)

I'm certains that Rota included some real people in the
"Donald Duck - my life in an eggshell" (I don't know the code
since I'm not home, but at the office right now. But you Rota-fans
certainly know what I'm talking about.)

Don Rosa is notourious in this respect. His Lo$ is literally sprinkled
with real historic
characters...

P.S.

Is someone here good at Microsoft Access? Well, it's not
entirely off-topic since I need some help
with a little project I have where I got stuck. I have an extensive
database on various disney-topicsthat I want to turn into homepages. If
someone out there could help me, please feel free to contact me.

And I know you'll send to the list a *very detailed* report of Carl's
impressions about the cards!!!! ;-)

Sad to say but I'm not allowed to take my comics with me at work! ;-)
But, as long as I remember, it seems to me to be "Paperin di Tarascona",
(I TL 156-A) written by Guido Martina, art by Luciano Bottaro. It's a
no-so-faithful parody from "Tartarin di Tarascona" by A. Daudet.

Ciao,

Your art is fine, very funny. It looks as if you know Goldie very well.
But with all those dresses... anyone would tell that Goldie was a
fashion model!
(Just kidding).

Yes, some Bottaro's stories are strange.
I just found one myself, on Almanacco Topolino 1/63,
"Capodanno e la torta papera", featuring nearly the
whole Disney universe.
Some characters are clearly added by Perego, probably at a
later time, and some of the Scrooge and Donald figures seem
like carbon-copied from Barks stories...

However, while Bottaro, Carpi and Chierchini did quite a few
stories together, to the point of confusing them sometimes
(like, is "Archimede e il Signor Scherzo" by Bottaro, Chierchini
or both? I reckon it's Bottaro alone), I don't think Capitanio
ever worked with them... but I might be wrong, of course.
(In fact, Carpi at least wrote one story that was drawn by
Capitanio, in '64).

Coming pretty soon... keep reading ;-)

Well, thanks for the encouragement, guys.
I still think my pages are a bit empty, although they've been on
beta-testing for a while (thanks, Rich), and I won't be able
to make updates for the next month or so (I'll be in London
in a few days), but since you asked... ;-)

"Eega Beeva's Magic Pocket" can be found at

I'll be glad to hear suggestions and comments :-)

Concerning the "new" albums:

When the Gladstone I series of albums was produced, a number of printed
flats were overrun for the purpose of a project that never
materialized=8Anot, anyway, as originally drawn up. So those flats have been
sitting mothballed, awaiting their call to duty.

The "Uncle Scrooge Bargain Book" project is, at last, that call. As some on
the list have surmised, they are not collector-oriented; even so, once
offered into the US direct market, they've proven quite popular. They
didn't even last long enough for me to be able to offer them on our web
site. That's been nice.

SCARPA

I seem to have missed out on something here. Is Scarpas work beeing
reprinted in albums in Italy? Info please!

BOB FOSTER

Found an old comic called Myron Moose Funnies no 1 at a second hand
shop. The indicia says it's printed in 1971. The creator is Bob Foster,
surely this most be the same Bob who was editor during the recent Disney
reign of comic publishing.
The interesting part is that he has redrawn or rather traced the first
pages of OS 356 and 223. The only difference is that Donald and Scrooge
has antlers. Thats the only point to it, weird. The rest of the comic
book shows Dick Moose, Fritz the Moose and Steamboat moose (guess who).
Also some long sequences of Myron picking his nose.
What is the Bob - Moose connection?

GREEDY & MORBID

An article about the G&M controversy was printed in Dagens Naeringsliv
(Norwegian Business today) on Saturday. The article is obviusly written
of and for people who has never heard of CB (who is that in Norway?).
It tells the story from the humble beginnig in Oregon to the big
business of painting and prints today.
Ironically the art covering the top half of two pages is drawn by VVH.

DONALD DUCK SEES SOUTH AMERICA

I'm the fortunate owner of this hardbound book from 1945 (heath). It is
beautiful with colour art on almost everyone of the 134 pages.
Does anybody know who made the art?

Someone reported this before on this mailing list, but we haven't put
any actual stories in the Database. We even haven't thought about which
codes to give to these stories.
In the China case, though, it's quite simple: these are not *Disney*
comics. So they don't need to be listed in the Disney comics Database.

BTW, thanks for the Swedish info on Don Rosa's stories.
