Let's say I know some Diney-charecter-names (translations)
that aren't in the ftp-archieve under names? Who should I tell
them to?
E.g. as every French should now, Picsou's first name is Balthasar.
I found that in a Picsou mag. (the fam. tree), when I was in ...
Greece!!!
Well, that's all, I'll be back!

Treasure of Croesus

Hello
I know I asked Don Rosa privately by Snail-Mail, but maybe
you other nationalities can tell me what Donald is saying on
the last panel of "The Treasure of Croesus", maybe in Am. too.
In Danish he's singing about large cocumbers and Asia
(There's a rhyme or something in Danish).

Gondolier hats *leaves out* most artists, but FBa is *not* one of
those :-) If one thinks a story looks a bit like FBa, and Mickey
appears to be wearing a gondoliers hat, then we should be pretty

700 kHz is usually somewhere is the medium-wave region - mainly
used for inter-ship communication, if I remember correctly. 700
MHz is not not far away from where our mobile telephones
operate, and 700 Hz is a frequency we actually can hear. The
vocal chord is often fixed at a certain frequency (e.g. 100 Hz),
which is low for men and higher for women (and some say very
high for American women). When we speak this tone is modulated
by spoken words from about 300-3000 Hz. When we communicate
via telephones the low 100 Hz tone is in fact *not* transmitted,
however, the brain manages to reestablish that tone (pitch) and
everything sounds much nicer than it should.
Gladly we are in a situation, where homo sapiens seems to have
developed something that could be considered as a functional
brain. And those who make them mobiles are (much to) aware of
that ;-)
Harry:
Which program outputs the internal files, e.g. the important
stories.ins??? I assume that the "^"'s are to substitute zero-
terminated strings - is this true?

Even in another edition on "Oscar Mondadori" Noi Paperi it's a

Sorry about the past week or more of absence, but I was
writing on deadline, and by the time that was over,
something went wrong with my phone line and I couldn't
use e-mail, and there was a strike so I couldn't get it
repaired... It's been like wearing a gag and earplugs.
Anyway, right now, I'm just going to respond to some of
the older Digests, before they get TOO old to deal with
at all. No time to get completely up-to-date just now.
And I have a full schedule this weekend (I'm on a
half-dozen panels at a local science fiction convention),
so it'll be next week before I can get to the more recent
ones.
HARRY FLUKS --
"I thought "Rubbish City" was a wrong translation of
"Puindorp", the Dutch name of "Junkville". "
I've had no opportunity to do wrong translations
-- I never saw the Dutch version at all, but worked from
the artwork and empty word balloons. I used the name
"Rubbish City" because I wanted something different from
"Junkville", that would kind of parallel the name. (And
also rhyme with "pity".)
GARY LEACH --
"Though we first made each other's acquaintance twenty
years ago this summer, I clock in at only(!) 41."
Oh yeah, that's right! I'm having kind of a wave
of 20th anniversaries right now, including that of the
day I met my wife (which was several weeks before you
and I met). I think of those few months in 1978 as "The
Summer That Changed My Life". I was in my early 30s,
coming out of a large personal upheaval, and was meeting
new people and making new connections all over the place.
So, you're 41, huh? And yet, you seemed so
young... (But then, looking back, so did I.)

This month's Dutch "Donald Duck Extra" reprints Don Rosa's "The Last
Lord of Eldorado". As usual, they print the 2-part version, even if it's
all in one comic. I hadn't seen the splash panel on page 16 before, so
(as a Rosa collector) I don't mind too much...
BTW, that splash panel looks suspiciously like the half-page panel on
the previous page...
The Dutch translation of the story is quite literal, though some of the
gags are missing. And they added two references to previous Rosa stories
in footnotes.
Examples of missing gags:
- the "you sound like a recap in a comic" on page 2;
- the reference to the Gilded Man on page 13.
Still, it's always a pleasure to read a Rosa story in my motherlanguage!

He's singing a song called "Lydia the Tattooed Lady", a running
gag throughout the story.
The song, written by E.Y. Harburg and H. Arlen, was made famous
by the late Groucho of Marx Brothers fame in 1939, as performed
in the movie "At the Circus" and in various other occasions, becoming
Groucho's favourite piece for encores in his shows and, later still,
ignored by European translators (sorry folks, but as a Rosa AND Marx
Bros. fan, I'm still disappointed about that... ;-)

It's almost axiomatic that when Donald tries to outfox Scrooge, Scrooge
wins. I know of only one story where Donald decidedly gets the better of
Scrooge: "Duckburg Frog Frolics", where Donald wins the $5000 dollars that
Scrooge wanted. (The story is also unusual, of course, in that Gyro
Gearloose is enthusiastic about breaking the law.) Does anyone know of any
other stories where Donald wins?

CALEB:
The foreign edition means that when the lithos were printed, certain
amount of them (for example 50 copies) were set aside for certain market
(in this case Germany). The litho is exactly same, except for different
numbering (in this example 1 to 50/50) and maybe also the title of the
picture is translated. (For example when a 50 copy Finnish edition of the
litho "Holiday in Duckburg" was issued, in those copies the title was
"Vapaapaiva Ankkalinnassa").
I do wonder about the CoA, though. I have no knowledge that the foreign
editions would come withOUT them. Does anyone else know better? I know
that the regular edition has them and I wouldn't except a litho without
one. It's a hard thing to forge a fine lithographs like these, and lacking
a CoA won't probably lessen your enjoyment of the piece one bit - BUT,
should you ever decide to part with the litho after all, you may find
selling it difficult without the CoA.

Donald triumphing over Scrooge
Message 45 -
1998-09-05 at 20:48:00
I seem to remember a story where Scrooge sends Donald and HD&L
to Scotland to photograph Scrooge's reclusive brother Cyril. After
Donald and the boys finally get home with a plaster face of Cyril (there
wasn't enough light for a photograph), Scrooge tries to avoid paying
Donald because he didn't get a "picture" of Cyril. Donald realizes he
has to pay for the expenses himself and faints, causing his falling
camera to take a picture of the plaster face. Scrooge begrudgingly
admits that it is a "picture of Cyril" and agrees to pay Donald.
I know there were a couple of others, but I can't think of them
right now. I'll have to check when I go home tonight.

It's almost axiomatic that when Donald tries to outfox Scrooge, Scrooge
wins. I know of only one story where Donald decidedly gets the better of
Scrooge: "Duckburg Frog Frolics", where Donald wins the $5000 dollars that
Scrooge wanted. (The story is also unusual, of course, in that Gyro
Gearloose is enthusiastic about breaking the law.) Does anyone know of any
other stories where Donald wins?

to Scotland to photograph Scrooge's reclusive brother Cyril. After
Donald and the boys finally get home with a plaster face of Cyril (there
wasn't enough light for a photograph), Scrooge tries to avoid paying
Donald because he didn't get a "picture" of Cyril. Donald realizes he
has to pay for the expenses himself and faints, causing his falling
camera to take a picture of the plaster face. Scrooge begrudgingly
admits that it is a "picture of Cyril" and agrees to pay Donald.
