Because the gag is a reprint, you won't find it searching for "WDC 16"
on the web site in Sweden. In stead, you'll have to look in the file
that contains the index of the complete contents (originals + reprints)
of WDC 16 (this can be found on:
http://members.xoom.com/bolderbast/w-WDC-0-49.html).
Unfortunately, we hardly have more information than you have: it's a gag
from 1939, the writer is Merrill De Maris, and the artist is Manuel
Gonzales (says David).
I have never seen the gag in a reprint, so I can't tell the exact date
from other sources.

The Uncle Giddy MM strip you scaned was published in JM 2217 and HM.
It's in the database as:

The date is 3/9/39. The inker credit is from the "Disney Index" (<<ink

There is another similar strip, but earlier, ZM 37-11-14, with "Tonton

another of Goofy's many uncles... it's a farmer who seems to be as
*dynamic* as Uncle Giddy...

Somewhere in Nowhere
Message 471 -

Hello friends.
On the Carl Barks page on the DC pages this appears:
Current work
Barks has made the scenario of a new story, Somewhere in nowhere. The story
is 28 pages, has a script by John Lustig and is drawn by Pat Block, with
Barks himself as editor of all their work.
The story has been offered to both Egmont and GP, but both companies found
the price of the story, as asked by the Barks Studios, too high, so it's
not clear what will happen with it.
The story tells about a trip Donald makes to Alaska that for many reasons
doesn't arrive anywhere. The Pig villain McSwine appears in this story and
Uncle Scrooge has a supporting role.
That was written in feb. 1997, and on a flyer from Bill and Kathie (?the
bad guys!)
What has happened to the story, anyone knows?

Hello
I am just looking through some copies (made by Gutenberghus
in 80'es) of old weeklies from 1949-1951. I found not my single-
most-favorite but two that's among the best. They are simply
two dailyes brought in WDC 80! Made by Al and Bob.
Very old spoilers!
They are with Grandma, and in the first part she divides a
whole cake in three parts, which HDL get, Donald, of course,
does not get anything. In the other one Grandma tells about
her young days on the prairie, where she faught against the
indians, she even has an outfit with feathers and all.
In another one from 1950 I read a story, as in comics and
STORIES; It was about the Easter Bunny! There's pictures
of Goofy and Clara Cluck as a real chicken (that is, not
antropomorphic and as big as Daisy).
Very stupid question?!: Do you believe in the Easter Bunny ;-)

hello all you crazy people ;-)
Weekdays - Very Scandinavian
In Denmark the Disney magazine started in march 1949.
At that time it was monthly (but on which weekday was
it publshed).
In 1957 it went bi-weekly, but I still don't know the
weekday.
The 6th january 1959 was the big day, Donald Duck became
a weekly magazine. (Every dane knows the Slogan: Every
Tuesday, which was the only thing that did not change;
The world changed, but the Tuesday did not.
BUT some year (Which?) it was changed to be published on
Mondays, which made another slogan: Monday is Duckday
(It actually makes sence in DK, as it kind of rhymes)
Then in 1993 it started being published on thursdays,
which it is today (But subscribers, like me, get it on
Wednedays).
I know, that in Norway the Publication day is Tuesday,
has it been that way all the years from 1948 till know?
I think it is published on thursday in Sweden, but has
that been so always or what?

Recently, I found the MM strip on the internet.
http://comics.mercurycenter.com
I thought that this strip was gone years ago. A quick look at the King
Features site doesn't even hint at a MM strip. so, I have a few
questions. Is the MM strip still syndicated? If not, what was the final
day of the MM strip? Are these online strips new or reprints? Who is the
artist on the current dailies? Is there still a Sunday strip?
And on a semi-related subject, is the Donald Duck strip still
syndicated, and can I find it online somewhere?
Thanks for your time and patience. I appreciate it.

Oh, ofcourse I recall that story ... it's even somewhere in my top
50 of favorite Rosa stories!!!! Well, you already gave us the answer,
but I had said either the Beagle Boys climbing the pigeons
and the ducks following them or the BB's falling all over
the unfrozen marbles they'd been standing on ...
> yes, I show the BB's climbing the pigeons
Oh, that's really cool ... Can you already tell us what other

Remember Amy, the girl who accompanied me in visiting
you last month?! She had never read a Disney comic before, but

Oh, that's really cool ... Can you already tell us what other
