At least in the Brazilian version -- since the South American tycoon
scam wouldn't make sense -- Donald plays a *Portuguese* tycoon (complete
with typical accent) in his attempt to get a free roast *turkey*.

As far as I remember (again, from the Brazilian translation), the
moustache-less Donald is primarily associated to a foreign nobility member
(maybe the Earl of Something); much probably a wealthy man/duck, but not
exclusively recognized as such.

"The Great Dingbat Hunt", written by Vic Lockman and drawn by Peter
Alvarado, first appeared in MOBY DUCK 20 (1975). The dingbat, named for its
cry of "ding!" is the bird Scrooge for which Scrooge is searching.
**SPOILER**
In the end it is found that Scrooge's dingbat is in fact a dongbat, a bird
of an even rarer species.
**END SPOILER**
I'm glad to see more Moby Duck fans here. He is IMHO easily the best
character created by Western during the late 1960s, and the stories of him
which I've seen from the 70s seem better than most of that period. (Actually
the only pre-1970 MD story I've seen is "Sea Dog's Holiday" from DONALD DUCK
126, which Joe Torcivia informs was a fly in the ointment of Moby's career.)
His Laurel-and-Hardy-style antics with First Mate Dimwitty are hilarious.
Will Gladstone reprint any of his stories (starting with DD 112: "A Whale of
an Adventure")? His early tales might take some flak in today's world for
depicting a whaler as the hero, but I trust readers to understand that these
tales are the products of an era when whaling did not have its only
recently-created ugly connotations. Moby has been unknown for far too long,
having disappeared completely from any Duck comics outside of Scandinavia
since circa 1980. The database reports that Egmont had some use for the
character until around 1990, but then he faded away completely--in fact,
Editor Byron Erickson firmly disapproves of his appearance in any further
stories.
Has any publisher besides Gold Key or Egmont ever written a Moby Duck story?

WOW! Thanks Jeff. It's very odd though! I live in San Jose, California
and the Mercury News is my hometown newspaper (which I receive
daily) and I can vouch for the FACT that among the 25+ comic strips
that they run NONE of the ones printed in the paper are, or have been
for years, Mickey Mouse! I am so surprised, and delighted to see that
they are publishing them on the internet however. This is great news.
Now I must go as far back on line to get as many MM strips as I can.
Since this is all *news* to me (pun intended) I can't answer any of
your questions about syndication. As far as I knew, MM & DD strips
had stopped nationwide (America) years ago, though it is my under-
standing that an ocassional "special" comic is run for holidays, but
I've never seen any of these either! Boy am I happy you shared this! :-)

I don't think Moby ever GOT or even hit a whale (of course this wound NEVER
be allowed to be published); sometimes I've seen him shoot at them, but
never hitting.
I remember a story in which HDL and Scrooge wanted to go to a different
place than Moby, and then showed Moby the *only* whale going in the
direction they wanted, so that Moby would follow it and take them to their
destination.
This story was published more than once in Italy, and in the most recent
re-print one of HDL even said there was absolutely no danger for the whale,
since Moby was a very poor shooter. This was obviously a correction done to
make the story more whale-oriented politically-correct...

I woud trust that too, but I'm afraid editors and publishers don't. So I
don't think we're going to have old Moby Duck stories reprinted :(.

What sortuva hint? Gimmee a hint as to the hint. A hint-hint.
Well, maybe I'll say that it's written rather small, but it's all together
and not really disguised that well... I'm sorta surprised you don't see it.
(Well, I lost sight of it myself for a while, didn't I?) Maybe it's too
tiny? And I'll narrow your search area -- it's in the top half of the scene.
(I'll keep reducing the search area if you don't spot it.)

>>>Oh, ofcourse I recall that story ... it's even somewhere in my top

don't keep count, or a list. When I want to know anything about my own old
stories, I look at "D.U.C.K.Hunt" or one of those other amazing (!!!)
websites!)
>>>Oh, that's really cool ... Can you already tell us what other
drawings are coming up in the next Picsou issues?!
Hm. That "Race to the South Seas" pin-up will appear eventually, but it was
rescheduled due to that problem with finding good stats to the original
story. Maybe the next pin-up will be for "Trick or Treat". PICSOU just
printed that a year or so ago, but now that have the full original version
with "Smorgy" the ogre. And, naturally, he is the centerpiece of the pin-up.
I hid my "D.U.C.K." in a very unusual spot in that scene... actually as a
large part of the drawing rather than lost as a tiny detail. Where I hid it
in the "On Stolen Time" scene is not nearly so clever because, as often
happens, I forgot about it until the scene was almost finished, and I added
it at the last moment. As I said, I always postpone the PICSOU jobs until
the last moment, probably because it's the only "deadline" work I do (though
that would seem to be a good reason to get it done early, eh?).

Well, my criticism is justified as I have demonstrated. I hope they don't
consider my criticism as an insult. I'm digging these bad works (from
a whole bunch of good works) because I hope they make people at there
to look more better what and how they publish. Perhaps I'm a bit too
dramatic, I'm not sure --- at least many people has spend much money
just to find later (if at all) that their stories are not complete.
I have finished the first version of my Finnish CB story listing. It is
available at "http://www.funet.fi/~kouhia/cbs.txt" and typeset with
TeX (but still readable as txt file).
There is still no 1-pagers. No recent publications either --- I don't
have DD magazines between 1980-1996 except a few issues.
I have an intention to improve the listing quite soon but I needed
a break.
To make a listing of all stories published in Finnish DD magazine
would be a major job and I'm not going to do it myself alone. Any
interest? Actually I would like to stop to CB listing but I may help
just because I have a few issues.
Yours,

Paulo Barreto:
- Brazilian version: Portuguese tycoon - roast turkey - wealthy man
- German version: South American tycoon - roast goose - 2.nd rich. man / world
Many,many thanks for your explanation how the Brazilian version is,
(I will think of your explanation when I read this story once again)
maybe interesting how this story (WDC 148 ) appeared in Portugal.
In Germany this tycoon had a accent, too.
with greetings and a nice weekend.

After my last post, about "The Ghost Ship of Captain Crook", I reread the
story, and it occurred to me how unlikely such a story is to be reprinted.
I'm referring, of course, to the ideological about-face the world has taken
with respect to whaling in the last twenty or so years. What a pity so many
Moby Duck tales are unlikely to see the light of day again.
