Probably talking English is not a necessity. There were actually a few
Boer Wars: wars in Southern Africa between the Boers (colonists of Dutch
descent) and the English colonial power. Maybe *the* Boer War was in
1902. At least I remember one Dutch translation where they mentioned "de
Boerenoorlog van 1902". The Dutch probably added "1902" because they
(rightfully) thought that a Dutch child wouldn't know when the Boer War
was...

Vicar is the pseudonym of Victor Jose Arriagada Rios. He must be in the

Eta Beta is the nickname of someone on this list. He named himself after
the Italian name of Eega Beeva. And you seem to name that character Eega
Weega, which is quite a funny variation on his English name.

I thought this overnight. Even I think it is a better idea to remake
everything for CD-ROM, I'm now convinced that we should also boldly scan
old copies of DD stories. Please let me explane:
Since Disney has the copyrights, we cannot distribute the scanned copies.
But, Carl Barks works will become public domain after 75 years from his
death. If people start scanning the old CB stories then, I'm pretty sure
the old copies are more harder to find than now. We have to do it now even
todays people are not gaining from the project. So, I suggest we scan the
stories and keep them out of public for 75+ years.
I'm not sure if the time is related to death of CB because the works
are owned by Disney. Anyone?
Also, the same applies to works of Don Rosa but it takes much longer
(hopefully much much) to his works to become in public domain.
I'm *very sorry* for talking like this about the deaths of persons who
are alive but we should face the facts. My humble apologies to CB and DR.

Beside that, I think that Gladstone could mention it when they make
important changes in the stories. They can simply say that they don't
like Scarpa's original script and that's why they decide to delete one
page!! Or: "for thechnical reasons, one page is missing". Until now, I

He's the same artist. He's in the DB as "Victor Arriagada Rios (Vicar)".
Harry:
The "Amundsen's Talisman" story has a title, but it's shown as small
letters before a sort of introduction to the story. So it can be
considered as either D: or T:... Personally, I'd index it as T:.
BTW, I found an error (?) in the database: W DD 61-05 is a 4-pager
story in the French and Swedish publication, but it's indexed as a
5-pager story. In the "Disney Index", the number of pages is also 4.
Regarding Bradbury's stories, I like his DD stories (more than the ones
featuring MM). I have just read two good DD & DA short stories published
in JM (W DD 27 and 50). But I don't know his C'n'D stories. Anyway, it
must be a good artist, since Comic Art is currently publishing hard
cover books containing Bradbury stories only!
Everyone:
Picsou Magazine # 319 reprints the original version of "Cash Flow", for
the first time in France (+ a new illustration drawing of this story by
Don Rosa). It also contains two stories from One-Shot 29 (?), "The
Mummy's Ring", some parts of an article about it in the CBL and "Too
Many Pets". It is only the 2nd time these stories are published in
France!
There's also a drawing illustration of "Mummy's Ring" that Barks drew
(and colored) as a study (?) for an oil-painting (it was published in
the CBL and in Nemo in 1981) as well as some precisions about the last
Picsou issue sent by a certain Prof. Archontis Pantsios...

Gladstone Albums
Message 370 -

I just finished filling out the latest order form for Diamond Distributors,
and for the first time in years there was no listing for Gladstone albums,
just the Uncle Scrooge and WDC&S prestige format issues. The Carl Barks
reprints are completed (or solicited), so it seems to me this would have been
the time to solicit the Van Horn Albums. As it was, Gladstone released the 4
Van Horn albums at the same time as some of the Barks albums, and as my
pockets aren't that deep, I had to choose between them. I picked Barks, of
course. Seems to me that now would be the best time for Gladstone to put the
Van Horn albums in the Diamond catalog again as "Offered Again."
I'm leaving West Virginia with my family Saturday for a cross-crounty trip to
the Junior Woodchuck, I mean, National Boy Scout training camp in Philmont,
New Mexico, where my boys are likely to earn a quart of awards. We'll be
passing through Louisville, Kentucky, so if we see Don Rosa cutting his grass
we'll wave as we go by.

We have at least two comics presenting Donald in an ooidal
state (U$ #32 "That's No Fable" and FC #1109 - Aug. 1960, last
reprinted in Gladstone's "Donald and Mickey" #25 - Sep. 1994).
In both cases Donald was indeed in an eggshell. In "This
is Your Life..." He actually does a violent hatch showing that
he was *irascible* since birth (hatching), [i.e., not a "learned"
trait, but rather his natural state].
As for cartoons, there was the aforementioned DuckTales episode
which retells a version of the "That's No Fable" story, the
episode of "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" from which
the FC #1109 story was based, and I also remember another episode
where Prof. Ludwig von Drake talks about raising teenagers using
Donald and the Nephewsfor his thesis. In this cartoon there
was a scene where Donald takes the Nephews on a camping trip and
the think they've discovered the Fountain of Youth. I can't
recall all the details, but at one stage, one of the Nephews is
assumed to be Donald in a slightly regressed state, and later the
Nephews think that a large egg is their uncle after too much of
the water. Of course the egg turns out to be an (I believe)
alligator egg, but the point of this is to show that even here
the Nephews believed the EGG to be their uncle, showing that this
must be a common state for Duck folks. I'm sure this segment
was actually a DD cartoon which was incorporated into the LvD
special. Anyone recall the actual title of the toon?

I would have to agree. The term or phrase "Penny Wise"
dates back, perhaps to Ben Franklin's "Poor Man's Almanac"?
(i.e., "Penny wise and pound foolish."). Penny Wise is a good

You forgot "PEGASUS", but I digress.... :-)

By Golly... You're absolutely right! I even have that issue.
Alas Emil only refers to the lad as his "young nephew", so,
at least I now know the lad's name (thanks David).

Thanks Harry! :-)
Does anyone on the LIST have a copy of the above listed comics
from which they could please make a scan or two of Rockerduck's
three nephews for me?

"Villain" club in Wolf stories

That's right. Patty Klein could not have invented this club. It
first appears as the "Foul Fellows' Club" in a 1951 WDC&S, and reappears
quite often over the years. Sometimes it's also known as the
"Badfellows" (i. e. Oddfellows - an *excellent* gag, IMHO).
And besides Brer Fox (who's more often than not club leader) and
Brer Bear (who's less often a member in more recent stories), the club
roll call includes Willy Weasel, Dirty Bill the bulldog, Ricky Rat (a
tiny rat, I kid you not), and some unnamed warthogs, raccoons, and
additional bears.
