Generally speaking I don't like Mickey Mouse stories so much but I've
found less known drawer Manuel Gonzales's stories pretty funny!
They have started to come up as one-page-comics in AKU ANKKA in Finland.
So, has this Manuel drawed longer stories than just one page stories?

Follow the index link from
<http://stp.ling.uu.se/~starback/dcml/creators/manuel-gonzales.html>,
and you will find mostly newspaper comics, but a few S-coded longer
stories as well.

I doubt if anyone will find that website as fascinating as *I* do! It's very
nice to know that everyone will be able to see *all* the work I do on the
stories, thanks to you fellas.

I glanced through your scans and had fun doing comparisons myself..... until
I got to the scans for "The Once and Future Duck". This I need to know: WHAT
FOREIGN TRANSLATION DID YOU GET THAT DIALOGUE FROM?!?!?!? This brings back
all my nightmares that we were discussing here in past times. The dialogue
you have in those balloons is either only vaguely similar to the original,
or has *nothing* to do with my original dialogue whatsoever! I'm even
wondering how readers could follow the story if the entire thing was
translated so carelessly. I mean, there's the scene where Donald is supposed
to be shouting incantations and making "magic". My incantations were all
1950s stuff like "STEREOPHONIC SOUND!" and "ALUMINUM FOIL!" and such. The
translator has changed
those to 1990s stuff like "INTERNET!"... that sort of change is.... well,
okay, I know
it's unavoidable. But in other balloons, instead of shouting incantations,
Donald is saying idiotic things like "Me, I'm sparkling." (????) Just
because the art shows electric charge around him? And the dialogue in the
other alternate part -- it reads as if the translator didn't even have my
original script -- he was just creating dialogue that he thought fit the
art. Is *this* the sort of translation my stories usually get?
ZOINK! Now, having typed all that, an explanation occurs to me! Perhaps the
publisher was sent the correct art by Egmont, but Egmont did not bother to
supply the translator with the *script* that went with the art!!! That must
be it! And that's why the dialogue reads as if the translator is making up
*anything* he could think of to fit the art... that's just what he *was*
doing. Well, that's a little different. But these translators all know by
now that I am always right here at the end of a fax or e-mail, and I will
answer any and all questions about my script on a moment's notice -- replies
within minutes. (Why not? I don't want my stories to be made to look foolish
or confusing -- I'll be happy to take time to help prevent that.)

When I was visiting the Aku Ankka offices last spring Paula showed me some
of these different editions. I think there were even three different
editions of some books. I remember in particular the issue 1/95 (2000th
Aku Ankka issue) - some had in the corner the text "52 pages!" while
the other said in the same spot "10 mk!".
I think the newsstand and subscriber editions differ a bit similarily than
the American books do - others have a price code, others don't.
But all these differences were VERY minor - only small bits of the cover
were altered. I certainly hadn't noticed this until I was shown where to
look. And if I'm not mistaken I was told that this was something they did
a while ago but not anymore.

I think Kriton was only giving an example of the reactions you can get.
Another example:

"I have a Don Rosa original drawing."

Reaction 1: "Wow!"
Reaction 2: "Yeah, sure."
Reaction 3: "Who is Don Rosa?"

And I might add another one:

Reaction 4: "So have I!"

Everyone,

First off, I want to appologize for not testing this page on every thinkable
web browser before I anounced it. Second, I'd like to announce that I have
tested it in the following browsers and it looks pretty good in each one,
but it looks best in MS-IE 4

MS-IE 4
MS-IE 3
Netscape 4.5
Lynx (The Unix text based browser)

so, if the page looked screwed up before, it probably looks ok now. sorry
for the confusion.

PS: if you have a diffrent browser than these, please e-mail me so I can at
least ask if everything looks good in it
