The partner of (Peg Leg/Black/Bad) Pete in many Murry and Tello stories.
Also known as Scuttle (and that's the name we chose in our Disney comics
Database) or Lafouine (his French name).
BTW, it's interesting that that Norwegian poll mentions *comic* characters
only. No Little Mermaid, no Lion King, no Mulan, etc. An American poll would
have had totally different results!

He's number 4, but except the first 3 ones, all the characters have less
than 4.1 % od votes. Maybe the difference between US and DD would not be
the same in other (south-europpean) countries...

Maybe there are two characters by the same name. But in this case Harry is
right. Catfoot is the long-nosed companion of Black Pete. I didn't know his
English name and had to look it up. I used the Disney HooZoo list where I
looked up on Black Pete and Mickey Mouse, but could not find him amongst
the given confidants and rivals. This was a surprise, since he is rather
well known. Therefore I had to look in the attached list of character names
in different languages. Finally I found him, and the only English name
given was Catfoot (A strange name for him indeed). Of course I should have
used the Disney Comics Database. Scuttle sounds like a much better name.

Well there is, at least in part, an explanation to that. My heading is
probably misleading, since I believe the newspaper was aiming at characters
appearing in the Donald Duck weekly/ residing in or near Duckburg.
Today they have a short article with comments to the poll. This indicates
that most of the 34 candidates on the list were picked by the newspaper.
They mention several characters that were suggested by the readers in
addition to those on the list.
Suggested characters include:
* Dangerous Dan McBoo
* Idjit the Midget
* Horace Horsecollar
* Lady
* Tramp
* Scamp
* Goofy's grandma (who is she? Or is someone just being funny?)
* Br'er Fox
* Br'er Rabbit
* Dimwitty
* Shamrock Bones
* Little Hiawatha
* Little Hiawatha's sister (what's her name in English?)
* April, May & June
* SuperDuck
But the votes certainly does show Donald's strong standing in Norway
compared to Mickey or even Scrooge. Another thing is that if there had been
the possibility to vote for say your three favorite Disney characters
instead of only one, Scrooge would definitely gain a lot (probably Gyro too).

This is from I AT-228, 1975, "Paperino e il piccolo Krack", 45 pages long.
The said "dream" is a result of a piece of wood falling on Donald's head
when he ramages in his attic and locates an old book on ancient Caledonia.
When Donald finally comes to and opens the door to the mail-man, it turns
out that the mailman has the same appearence with piccolo Krack.

The above story, marking the second appearance of Mac Paperin, I-AT 277, "Le
avventure di Mac Paperin: L' arrosto della salvezza", 1980, had originally
36 pages, and the story was NOT something HD&L read in a book while Donald
is sleeping. In the original, the story was told as it happened, and this
has recently been re-printed in "Zio Paperone". The version where the story
is told as "something HD&L read in a book while Donald is sleeping" was what
Gladstone published (and also what has appeared in the Greek KOMIX) with ~10
pages cut from the original!

The last Picsou issue (#324) is a special Gladstone Gander issue. It's
his birthday (in France): he appeared in January 1950 for the first time
in France. Picsou #324 features:
- a cover with a Barks drawing (redrawn)
- as usual, a Don Rosa Pin-Up page with Gladstone, signed
- 2 US gags by Barreira and Gege/Belom
- an article about the evolution of Gladstone (31 drawings of Gladstone
by Barks at different times)
- 6 10-pagers with Gladstone from WDC 96, 103, 110, 111, 117, 131
Next month, the format of Picsou will change. There'll be more comics,
perhaps 80-90 pages instead of 60-65 (sometimes 75 when there is a
"mini-comic").

And the answer is YES: there are two characters by the same name. But
the long-nosed companion of Black Pete has been called in this way
(maybe) only one time, in one of his first stories (I should control
its title, but I well remember that I noticed how there are SOME

Boy, is my face red! I just realized that writing this out of memory led me
to grossly misremember. The above is *INCORRECT*--in fact, in BOTH the
original version of "L' arrosto della salveza" and the shortened Gladstone
reprint the story was told with HD&L reading a book while Donald is
sleeping! Where the story unfolds as it happens are the 3 last installments
of the Mac Paperin saga: "The Runestone's curse", D-93481, "The Great Viking
Love", D-94067, and the more recent "Mightier than the Sword".
That should teach me to not write simply out of memory (I had last read that
story in last April's issue of "Zio Paperone"), but rather to check the
"holy scriptures" first! And to also put the ouzo aside when writing to the
DML! :-)))

Boy, is my face red! I just realized that writing this out of memory led me
to grossly misremember. The above is *INCORRECT*--in fact, in BOTH the
original version of "L' arrosto della salveza" and the shortened Gladstone
reprint the story was told with HD&L reading a book while Donald is
sleeping! Where the story unfolds as it happens are the 3 last installments
of the Mac Paperin saga: "The Runestone's curse", D-93481, "The Great Viking
Love", D-94067, and the more recent "Mightier than the Sword".
That should teach me to not write simply out of memory (I had last read that
story in last April's issue of "Zio Paperone"), but rather to check the
"holy scriptures" first! And to also put the ouzo aside when writing to the
DML! :-)))
Cheers,

I'm confused...other than the 4 above mentioned stories (all appearing in
the mid-80s), according to "I MAESTRI DISNEY" #6 dedicated to Massimo De
Vita, the cycle of time-machine stories begins in 1979!
This time, I made sure to not write out of memory but to quote straight from
the source. Hence, here's what's stated in page 6 of IMD #6 (my
translation): "The story cycle dedicated to the famous time-machine, begins
with the adventure 'Topolino e l' enigma di Mu', TL #1238-39, 1979. The
person to write the text, as well as draw the panels, is Massimo De Vita
himself, who invents for the occasion the anthropologist Zapotec, destined
to re-appear in tens of stories henceforth. The second appearance of Zapotec
takes place later in the same year in 'Topolino e l' anatema di Faraone', AT
#275."
Therefore, according to the above, the first time-machine story was by
Massimo De Vita himself in 1979, unless my Italian is worse than my Russian! :-)
>The truth on this excruciating matter ;-) ;-) ;-) finally appears
>on the next issue of "I Maestri Disney", due for sale in Italy next Tuesday.
Well, I better wait then for my subscription copy of IMD #13 to clear all
this in my mind.
Cheers,

It's right that Zapotec's first appearance is in "Topolino e l'enigma di
Mu". And Marco clearly said that Marlin's first appearance (and only
Marlin's) was in the first "Time Machine Series".
I don't have my copy to check here, but I don't think that Mickey
actually *travels* in time in "The Enigm of Mu". Zapotec, BTW, appears
late in the stories. (I'm certain that someone will correct me if I
misremember).
"The Enigml of Mu" is about an old civilisation and features Zapotec,
but is only a "pre-time-machine story".
