G'day y'all,
This is my first posting to the mailing list, so be warned. [Warning!!
Inexperienced mailing list user!!]
Anyway, I'm writing from South Australia, and we haven't been getting
any new Gladstone Disney comics since at least last Christmas.
Apparently they are no longer allowed to be imported, but both the comic
shops in town gave me different stories about the reasons why. I'd let
my subscription lapse at the time, and so I'm pretty much in the dark
about why I can no longer read my favourite comics. Basically, the main
reason that I have joined the mailing list is in the hope that someone
can fill me in on what happened to Gladstone's distribution outside of
North America (in detail). I guess that this has probably been discussed
before, but I'd be very much obliged for this information.
Cheers,
Owen Heit

Here's a little question to think about: sometimes AMJ, wear 3 different
colors (eg. red, blue, green or the light color of these) like Huey, Dewey

pink you cannot see the difference, or can you???

Hello all, I'm back from France.
First of all, thanks to all of you who commented on my question on different
comics avaliable in France,
I actually managed to recieve a couple of digests in Luxembourg when I set
up a friend's computer down there
so your comments weren't in vain....
Despite of all the World Cup hysteria I managed to get my hands on PICSOU
#317 and 318 with the French
editions of "super snooper", "on a silver platter" & "eldorado". Luckily, I
can read French so I could fully appreciate the "Silver Platter"-story which
I had never read before (Was it published in Sweden before? If so, I guess
it must have been in the "Musse Pigg & Co"-mag.)
Due to my absence, I was unable to congratulate Don so here we go again...
Happy Birthday Don!
(I didn't know you had dogs, how wonderful ! )
Looking forward to seeing the new chapter of Lo$....

***SPOILERS***
WDC&S 627
"To Bee or Not to Bee" is easily the best Neighbor Jones story that William
Van Horn has done so far. Jones' sudden mechanical expertise and his
temporary ceasfire with Donald to fight against a common enemy made it
original and different from the usual one-on-one-feud stories.
The Mickey Mouse "castaway" gags were interesting at first, but seem dated
and quickly become tiresome. Surely some other great material with the Mouse
could fit into 9 pages.
Paul Murry's Phantom Blot one-pagers were interesting, although I'm not sure
I'd like to see the feature stories from those issues reprinted so urgently.
(Now Super Goof is another matter...)
"Icebox Robbers". Comparing this to its printing in the CBL in Color, I
think it worthy to note that some dialogue has been censored. One page 7,
this was Donald's original war cry (writing from memory):
Panel 4: It's a Jap ambush! To arms!
Panel 5: I see you, you slant-eyed Nips! I'll skewer... [rest of dialogue as
published]
Panel 6: That's it! [as published]...swim back to Japan!
"David Hall's Peter Pan" was great, art-wise, but seemed a little
"off-topic," so to speak.
"Bucky Bug," "Lil Bad Wolf", and Taliaferro's Donald Duck did nothing for me.
"One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" was enjoyable, but not remarkable.
In conclusion, I ask someone to remind me...why am I paying $39.00 a year
for this? ;-(
UNCLE SCROOGE 312
I'm pleased to say this was much more satisfactory. "The Hands of Zeus" was
a great reminder of how great the little-seen Dutch Duck stories can be. I
loved the Greek setting and Scrooge's stinginess. David Gerstein's script
enhanced the quality of the story, with phrases "Jumpin' jacksnipes," the 3
Musketeers reference, and a character with the name of Kriton (sounds
familiar... ;-) ;-) ;-) Thumps up for the Duckmen at the dykes (and the
Yankee at Kobenhavn)!
I winced at first at the cliche'd prospect of a "little green men land on
Earth and only some John Q. Public can stop them" plot, but "Cold Duck"
turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The part where the Ducks sniffed out
the impostors in their midst, with its surprise revelation, was hilarious.
"Bolivar the Beagle Catcher" had no great plot, but the gags within the
story were very good. Daniel Branca drew a somewhat creditable art, too.
I fail to see any good reason for a photo of a Bond girl to appear on the
back cover of an UNCLE SCROOGE comic. Are sales so low that Gladstone must
rely on celebrity product endorsement?
Still, quite a great deal!

The Loony Lunar Gold Rush
Message 85 -

I would like to collectively thank all friends who answered my query on
the "Loony Lunar Gold Rush" a couple of weeks ago. I am greatly indebted
to you all for your valuable information. The story was republished
recently by Gladstone in U$A # 45, which I have got now. (It is not U$A
# 24, as several of you indicated; this is probably due to a confusion
with a similar story involving gold and the moon, which is called "The
Twenty-four Carat Moon".)
There is a really remarkable difference between the Arabic version and
the original, in that the Arabic version has 12 pages while the English
original has 17. Some of you have already pointed to this fact. The cuts
were made at several places in the story. The first pages are shortened
considerably, virtually leaving out all the details about Scrooge's
speech to the Junior Woodchucks except the beginning and the end. The
story ends with the panel showing Donald and the kids with the pushcart;
everything that's after that is cut. This gives quite a different flavor
to the story, and the final gag is also different. As already suggested
by some of you, this is certainly due to the fact that the original gag
- the abonimable Junior Woodchuck titles - wouldn't have made much sense
to the Arab mind.
I think the different adaptations of Comics stories and the different
ways of readjusting their language and content for people of different
cultural background - especially non-European - constitutes an excellent
topic for cross-cultural research. Does anybody know any good
publications on that?
Thanks again,

DE GUSTIBUS NON DISPUTANDUM EST were used to say
"my" grandfathers, but Lentils of Babylon is one of my preferred
Disney story, with a great balanced, plot, exilharating gags
(I recall one of the BB disguised like an ancient king and called
"an odalysc" by one of his brothers... or the song Scrooge played in
the restaurant).
Maybe the version you read was not the complete one: many times we
discussed on this list the frequent "modifications" the USA version of

Hello,
About the "screaming cowboy" discussion, I'd like to add my 2cents, or
better my 2 Lire, since the following is the Italian version of the
song:
Quando dovro' morire
[When I'll have to die]
la mia chitarra dovrete seppellire
[You'll have to bury my guitar]
accanto a me nell'oscura tomba
[next to me in the dark grave]
sotto una dalia che ci faccia ombra
[under a shadowing dahlia]
Then it's on four lines, with a recourring dahlia (BTW isn't a dahlia
a very small flower? how can a grave be under his shadow?)
There is even another song, this time by Scrooge, that I'm curious to
see how has been translated outside Italy: it's from Scarpa's "lentils
from Babilonia", at page 2 on second panel:
E il vecchio cow-boy...dloy, dloy, dloy
[And the old cow boy]
Derubato delle sue mandrie... drie', drie', drie'
[Robbed of his herds]
Mori' di fame e di dolor! dlor. dlor, dlor!
[Died for starving and suffering]
I read this story maybe hundred of times, and still this panel makes
me laugh out loud!
So cow boys don't have a very lucky role in Disney comics... ;-)

I have both the Italian Comic Art edition (that reprints the integral
versions) and KOMIX #119 (thanks, Archontis), so I can tell you that
on page 32 on Komix, the first 4 panels are the original ones, then on
the italian edition there are 2 more panels with the Kaibi eating a
lot of sardines, and Scrooge blaming the little bird for not to eat
enough :-)
Then on the other page are the two last panels printed on Komix at
page 32 and the first great panel from page 33.
The two last panels on page 33 are the last two from the first page
from the original version where is another great image of the flying
ship too.
Exception made for this, the story is identical to the original one

lot of sardines, and Scrooge blaming the little bird for not to eat
enough :-)
Then on the other page are the two last panels printed on Komix at
page 32 and the first great panel from page 33.
The two last panels on page 33 are the last two from the first page
from the original version where is another great image of the flying
ship too.
Exception made for this, the story is identical to the original one

Barks -
>stories, and would you mind telling the others and me about it:WDC
275 - Zero Hero,
>WDC 278 - Have Gun, Will Dance or WDC 281 - Feud and Far Between?
They have been "recentely" reprinted on Zio Paperone in Italy on
issues #65 and #66. They are all ten pagers.
In Zero Hero Donald is a street sweeper who wants to become a rich
business man, but a super-computer tells him that he is born to be a
street sweeper, but Donald tries at the same to sell parfumes to the
inhabitants of northern pole and ends with exchanging broken glasses
with reindeer butter.
In Have Gun, Will Dance HD&L win a toy gun that is the exact copy of a
secret weapon of the USA army: whoever is struk by the ray of this
weapon starts to dance.
In Fend (not Feud) and Far Between Donald and Jones have one of their
wars.
