SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS) and "Tootle" (which got an unintentionally

Disney-Comics from India

Some month ago there was a discussion on the mailing-list on english disney
comics, prompted by the fact that Galdstone had stopped publishing in the
USA. Someone brought up that India might be a place to look for them, but
nobody could tell if English was the comic-language in India. So I asked a
friend from India if she could get me a Disney comic-book to find out. Now
I've got one and here's what it looks like: It has 44 pages and a larger
size than the usual comic-book, like the cancelled "Mickey and friends"
that was published in England several years ago. My issue is from 1996
(Mickey Mouse #25). The featured stories are (all in English!):
D 96264 Donald Duck: Forced Air-Ace (art: Rota)
D 96205 Uncle Scrooge: No Great Loss (part 1) (art: Colomer)
KF 10-27-57 Mickey Mouse: No Game-Keeper
D 95212 Donald Duck: Mister Muscle
H 9410 Daisy Duck: Illegible Handwriting
These are the standard Egmont stories I know from the German Mickey Mouse,
and most of them have been issued here as well. I've made scans of the
title page and two pages from the inside. I'd be happy if someone is
willing to put them up at his webpage, so that everyone can have a look at
them.

Up to now, I have had three kinds of indexers.
1. The occasional indexer. In this case, the exact layout of an index does
not matter that much. I have gladly accepted occasional indexes in any
format, and with some interaction the relevant data was provided. I don't
mind having to change the exact layout, since I know it is only a one-time
effort.
2. The frequent indexer. After a few initial struggles (e.g. in a private
mail conversation with me), these indexers quickly got used to the format we
are using.
3. The indexer with his own database. A few people have their own database
or index formats. Usually we agree on the data that should be *in* an index,
and then all we need to do is write a conversion program to get the index in
the right layout.
At this moment, all 3 kinds of indexers are still active. But maybe there's
a 4th kind:
4. The indexer that gets scared away by the unusual format of the indexes.
Up to now, you're only the second person in this category. At least, the
second to *tell* me about it!
Of course it would be nice if you would become a category-2 or -3 indexer!
8-)
Anyway, we haven't had much need for a user-friendly data entry tool yet.

Sure. You can request the database entry for any comic book we have in the
Inducks. Simply e-mail the request to me! 8-)

But now I've got my own computer (and hence have more time to sit down and
type things and work them out!), I've started work on indexing the
Australian comics.
I've just about completed a short series of about 20 comics from the mid
80s, and have even scanned the covers so everyone can see them. These will
go on a Geocities website very shortly.
THEN I'll start the massive task of the vintage Australian comics,
published from the 1950s (and earlier?) up to about 1978.

Fully correct! The best way to learn a new tool or programming language is
to copy an existing program, try to change it, and see how it works (or
doesn't work, occasionally).
With indexes, it's the same thing. Copy an existing index, try to make it an
index of a new issue, and send it to me for "review". That's much better
than reading documentation! (Don't RTFM too soon...)

You mean that his description might scare more people away?
His description only makes sense if you have a non-proportional character
font in your mail program, like "courier".
I mean, the "1111" here and below should be right above each other.
1111
If that's not the case, I can imagine that Stefan's mail was hardly
readable!

Fully correct! The best way to learn a new tool or programming language is
to copy an existing program, try to change it, and see how it works (or
doesn't work, occasionally).
With indexes, it's the same thing. Copy an existing index, try to make it an
index of a new issue, and send it to me for "review". That's much better
than reading documentation! (Don't RTFM too soon...)

This ode was published on Italian Zio Paperone last month, I
think it deserves a code to be inserted in I.N.D.U.C.K.S.

Agnar Mykle and Arnulf Oeverland on comics
Message 15 -

I read an article by the Norwegian author Agnar Mykle (1915-1994)
recently. It was written in 1953, and discussed various aspects
of literature and its potential new forms and so on. One may
interpret him as being rather positive towards (then and now)
emerging alternative forms of literature, and in my imagination
he would not have been negative towards the `comic book'/graphical
novel narrative form.
But Mykle mentions in a side remark that equally famous and equally
admirable poet, author and rikssynser Arnulf Oeverland (whose
surname I have to mis-spell in order to avoid the lines of
my list-message being distorted and disturbed in the conversion process)
*did* dislike `comic books' (tegneserier). Arnulf Oe seemingly
must have publicly offered the opinion (in his inimitable
Arnulfian way, known to all Norwegians) that comic books will be
the end of reading (?).
I wonder whether any of my Norwegian compatriots could find
a more precise reference to this A.Oe. statement. What did
he say, or write, when, where? In a lecture, newspaper article,
essay? Any help very much appreciated. (I would also be interested
in knowing whether A.Oe.'s statement happens to be true!)
(I did ask the author of the very inspired Mykle-biography,
which is coming out in October this year, about this, but
he didn't know.)
