Well, if Gladstone isn't around to print it in English, that would be a moot
point. But I will definitely call them Harpies in my script.
Another sequel I've wanted to do for 10 years is to have $crooge go and try
to capture the dinosaurs in Forbidden Valley. But I am afraid of that since
Barks' original ending pretty is pretty much the end-all of any possible
dinosaur tale. Any other ending to a donosaur story would seem to pale by
comparison!

Is there a D.U.C.K. dedication on the drawing you did
for the latest Picsou (#319) with a scene from Cash Flow?! I have
been searching for it everywhere but I can't find it and I'm wondering
if there is one at all!
I have *also* been searching!!!! I can't find one either, so I guess this is
another of the times that I pencilled the "D.U.C.K." into the scene, but
that it was hidden so well that I failed to notice it while inking! And I do
those PICSOU pin-ups at the last possible moment to meet their deadline, so
I don't have the art laying around long enough to realize my error.
By the way, I did a scene to accompany their use of "Race to the South
Seas", but they had some trouble getting stats to that art and they bumped
that story and pin-up... so there will soon be an issue without a Rosa page,
just so you'll be expecting it. The editor said that they dropped "The Old
Castles's Secret" into the slot, and are using my cover to U$#285 ("Lo$" #1)
to accompany it.
Yesterday I sent in a pin-up to accompany "On Stolen Time". I sometimes have
trouble thinking of what scene from a story to depict in a cover or pin-up,
and also when to twist accuracy a bit to make the scene better. What scene
would you use from "On Stolen Time" (if you recall that story)?

OK, I think I'll try to round off this discussion about leap years
(somewhat off topic, but interesting anyway).
This is what I can remember from my days studying astronomy:
(Time and the definition of a year and thus calendars are a part this science)
Every year dividable by four is a leap year. Examples: 1992, 1996
Except every year dividable by 100. Examples: 1700, 1800, 1900 were not
leap years.
Except again every year dividable by 400. Examples: 1600, 2000. They are
leap years.
The average length of a year over a full 400 year cycle is thus 365.2425 days.
Not 365.25 like someone on this list mentioned as the true length of the year.
Even 365.2425 is not exact. It's not possible to get it exact anyway
because it's not a fixed figure. But when the error will need thousands of
years to add up to a day, who cares!
The difference between 365.25 and 365.2425 is significant though. This was
the reason they changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in the
1500s. The Julian calendar had a leap year every fourth year with no
exceptions, making the average year 365.25. This calendar was used all over
Europe for centuries, and when they came up to the 1500s they noticed that
equinox came earlier and earlier on the calendar. This meant that they
were celebrating the religious holidays like Easter on the wrong time. That
could not be accepted, and the new calendar was constructed. Pope Gregory
something made that calendar the official one in all catholic countries and
at the same time announced that "the day after 4th of October shall be
called the 15th of October" to correct the accumulated error. I can't
remember exactly which year but I think it was in th 1580s. For the study
of history this is a problem because protestant countries continued to use
the Julian calendar, changing to the Gregorian at different times. So a
specified date in one country was the same day as another date in another
country. In the end it lead to the October revolution being celebrated in
November. (By 1917 Russia still used the Julian calendar, so that the
revolution in Russian October was in our November. When did the Soviet
Union change?)

I'm now 100% sure this is the first time that Scrooge was identified as the
richest something in the world.
About the richest *man*:
In "The Sunken Yacht" WDC 104 we can read the following:
Page 2, panel 5:
Donald: "Hey kids! It belongs to our uncle Scrooge McDuck!"
Nephew: "The *richest man* in the world!"
Page 3, panel 2:
Scrooge: "Nephew, I didn't become the world's richest man by being dumb!.."
So Scrooge has even said in his own words.
To the discussion about the second richest:
The maharajah of Howduyoustan was broke after the statue contest. Anyway,
he didn't even come close as Scrooge only used a small fraction of his
money. Flinty has been able to combat Scrooge to what is for all practical
purposes a draw twice. The first time the difference was only a few inches
of string, and the second time around the difference was a few silver
coins. I can't imagine that somebody would be in between, be it duck, dog,
man or pig!

An untitled story called "Worm Weary" in the Carl Barks Library in Color
springs to mind. The story was first published in "Walt Disney's Comics &
Stories" 153 in June 1953. In this story Donald is looking for worms that
are better for fishing than his standard red worms. He meets Gyro who tells
him about his new special worms. Gyro says something like this: "I've been
working on improving worms for years! Finally I have them perfected!" The
worms are super worms that swim into the water, catch the fish and land it
all by themselves! The story says nothing about the method Gyro used to
develop the worms, but it says a lot about the possible hazards of letting
genetically altered species loose in nature!

Which story is your favorite
Message 431 -

Hi all!
About the subject "which is your favourite story" (I know I'm a bit late
for this, but I was on holiday last week), I'd like to add my 2-cent
opinion.
Of course, there are thousands of stories I like very much, and hundreds I
like VERY VERY much, and many I really really love. But if I had to choose
only ONE story, I would probably vote for "The Golden Fleecing" bu Barks. I
really love this story, which is amusing, moving, and full of adventure.
The gag when Scrooge pretends to love the food the harpie has made for him
is wonderful. In the italian version the food was "sformato di assafetida"
(which I have no idea on how to translate), what was it in the original?
I also love the mithological setting, since I have always loved the greek
mithology (although there are some differences between the original mith of
the golden fleece as I know it and the one told by Barks).
The never-sleeping dragon is one of the most worderful creatures ever
appeared in a Disney story. When I was 10 I kept copying and drawing it
again and again (and dragons are still among my favourite subjects for
drawing!).
So I'm happy to hear that Don Rosa is thinking about a sequel to this
story. Please do it, Don! (and if you could put the dragon in it, I'd be
ecstatic!! ;-)
Though "The Golden Fleecing" is #1, I also want to quote some other stories
I never get tired of:
-The story featuring Joe Piper, drawn by Floyd Gottfredson (what is the
title? "Topolino e la banda dei piombatori" is the italian one)
-"Paperoga e il peso della gloria" by Cavazzano
-"Zio Paperone e la gara da 100 dollari" by Scarpa
-"Paperino e il doppio doping" by -ehm.. Bottaro?
-"Zio Paperone e Marzipan della giungla" by G.B.Carpi
(sorry for the Italian titles above)
-And, talking about more recent stories, I laughed to tears while reading
"A Matter of Some Gravity" and "The Guardians of The Lost Library" by Don
Rosa, and many others...
Sorry if I've bored you,
Claudia

I'll have to admit that I did not read the story untill it was mentioned

I just slipped trough it and thought: Long John Silver with a dog nose!
I am about a year behind really reading my danish weeklies so....
It's a great story which could also give the idea to the possible child,
that he/
she should read the books where the persons are mentioned. I remmembered
the place where Mickey went very fast; I have the cartoon Bongo and Mickey
and the bean---- (something) on videotape; But of cause he is named Hans
(in
DK) in the original tale, I think i knew that.

Hello
Thanks to a dear fellow student i just got Picsou Mag. 319 today.=20
For free, but it is actually cheep, 15 franc for 100 pages (It must=20
be around 2,5 $, and the WDC cost 6,95 (in prestige edition)
Well the mag. has a lot of editorials, but it's the stories I like:=20
Don Rosa's Cash Flow (L'argent coule =E0 flots); it has been=20
published in France eleven years ago, but with two comic=20
pages on one single page =3D very small. There's an example=20
from page 19 in the story, very small in 1987. I thougt it was=20
only Barks' masterpieces that were mistrteated in that way,=20
not Rosa's too!?!?=20
Les autres histories (OOPS FRENCH!) The other stories are:=20
Barks' The Mummies ring, the story is on half pages that you=20
can take out, and then make to a little booklet, but You'll need=20
an adult so you don't hurt your fingers with a needle!!!
The last story is FC 29 - Too many pets, a story that I don't=20
have elsewhere - GREAT.
On the last pages, called kids: those numbers after the letters=20
to the editor, are those ages?=20
75, 91, 76, 83 and 91 that is certainly some "old" readers!!
BTW it is a great picture of the truck from Rosas Eldorado=20
story and the "original?".
The inside-cover-idea is great, but someone has mentioned that.=20
All in all the magazine seems to be an all-Barks and Rosa issue,=20
and it's my impressions that it is often that way with Zio Paperone=20
and Komix (Greece) too?

pages on one single page =3D very small. There's an example=20
from page 19 in the story, very small in 1987. I thougt it was=20
only Barks' masterpieces that were mistrteated in that way,=20
not Rosa's too!?!?=20
Les autres histories (OOPS FRENCH!) The other stories are:=20
Barks' The Mummies ring, the story is on half pages that you=20
can take out, and then make to a little booklet, but You'll need=20
an adult so you don't hurt your fingers with a needle!!!
The last story is FC 29 - Too many pets, a story that I don't=20
have elsewhere - GREAT.
On the last pages, called kids: those numbers after the letters=20
to the editor, are those ages?=20
75, 91, 76, 83 and 91 that is certainly some "old" readers!!
BTW it is a great picture of the truck from Rosas Eldorado=20
story and the "original?".
The inside-cover-idea is great, but someone has mentioned that.=20
All in all the magazine seems to be an all-Barks and Rosa issue,=20
and it's my impressions that it is often that way with Zio Paperone=20
and Komix (Greece) too?

They're called spats. In the olden days, gentlemen wore them on their
shoes (to keep the mud of the street from spattering their footwear). Scrooge
may be the only figure in comics who wears spats but doesn't wear shoes!
