I'm not up-to-date about Duck stories published in
Brazil in the last two years, but I'm almost sure that
this story was not published here. I know only 12 (!)
Don Rosa-stories published by Abril
Jovem (Brazilian Disney Publisher) in Portuguese until
now, and their codes are:

AR 109, AR 110, AR 130, AR 143
D 90147, D 90314, D 90345, D 91071, D 91076
H 87112, H 89178
KDO 190

Isn't it a shame?!? :-(

Amen, Daniel. Spot on!

There does seem to be a tendency to think creative types have perfect
memories, particularly of whatever they've done that their fans care the
most about. When a creator falls short in this area, then it is sometimes
seen as though he or she is somehow falling down on the job, as if they
were not fulfilling a requirement for being a creator.

We're damn lucky Carl Barks has recollected all that he has over the last
few decades, and been around to do so. He's long since paid his dues to us
in the Memories of the Creative Process department. (And did he ever owe us
anything anyway?) Let us instead weep and gnash our teeth, if we must, over
all that we shall never know from the memories of all the creators who have
passed away before anyone bothered to pay attention to them or to what
they'd done.

Best.

Hi Folks

The Life and Times of Uncle $crooge are one of the best Duck stories in
history. That is a fact.
Why isn't there a big binder of al the all the 12 parts?
There are some much more things that can be published in another way. Like
they should also make a comic that tells the story of Donald when he was
young. (And I don't mean Baby Donald from Disney baby)
Of course Scrooge has a much more interesting history as Donald.

I've got a tough question:

When you read the story (H93488) Part 12 of the life and times of Scrooge
you see Donald and HDL watching Know your city on TV. In a certain window
(page 3 window 1) you see the part where U$ fires his whole crew incl. the
father and mother of Donald. You see little Donald running away from the
money bin.
Is there a story about it?

The story Life and Times of Uncle scrooge part 12 has an impressing last
window. You see US sitting in/under his money and his nephew Donald says
that he haven't got any memories to this world. But.... See for yourself
It's a beautiful picture. Don Rosa should make an oil painting of it or a
lithograph.
But you can enlarge it in the copy shop! I did it to and the result was
very good!

I conveyed to Carl Barks Daniel van Eijmeren's theory about the snow statue
contest having been constructed out of the "lost" bobsled race story, and he
responded to me with the following fax message;

"About Daniel van Eijmeren's theory that I built the Snow Statue story in
1956-57 from scraps I cut from an earlier 1955 bobsled race script that
mysteriously disappeared, I protest that the Snow Statue tale was completely
done with original thinking in late 1955. I remember nothing of the bobsled
race.

"In spite of the many claims by certain fans that I was never able to
originate an original story plot or situation, I protest that almost every
story I concocted was created from scratch.

"It's really no big matter. Less than one-thousandth of one percent of
America's populace ever read a Disney comic, anyway.

Carl"

I spoke to Carl on the phone about this matter after I received his fax, and
I clarified that, as I understand it, Daniel was arguing that Carl had
reconstructed the snow statue story *immediately* after submitting the
bobsled story, which Daniel presumed was rejected since it was never
published. As Carl informed me, however, his records show that he was paid
$375 for the bobsled race story (the standard amount for a ten-page story at
that
time), which means it wasn't officially rejected as was some of his other
material, such as the sequences of events that were cut from "Back to the
Klondike" or "Trick or Treat," for which he was never paid anything. I also
explained that I didn't think anyone was accusing him of not thinking up
original ideas, but over the years Carl has gotten the impression from some
of the commentary written on his work that readers often try to focus on his
"sources" rather than on his originality. As I understand it, Carl is
protesting against the tendency in analysis of his work to look someplace
other than his own imagination for the brilliant kernels of the stories he
so meticulously developed.

As a youngster, I remember reading an Uncle Scrooge/Donald Duck comic book
in which the main story involved Donald and/or his three nephews selling a
steam calliope to a hermit. Can anyone suggest when and where (i.e., comic
and issue) this story was published? It was in an American comic book and
probably appeared in the early 1950's. At least this is my best guess.

Shortly after the US publication of the Life and Times, Gladstone
released a hardbound book of the stories in various limited editions. It
seems to me that these are kinda hard to find at this point, but they
also released the stories as part of their Uncle Scrooge Adventures in
Color series. These are still pretty easy to find and run for about 10
dollars each in the US. It should be noted though that chapter Zero and
chapter Six and a half *are not* part of these collections.

excited me. While I was browsing the D.U.C.K.hunt website, I came =
across a scan from the story "Cash Flow". I have the original Gladstone =
comic that this appeared in as a first run story, but I would like to =
know if it has re-appeared in an American comic book since its first =
American printing. This is my favorite Don Rosa story and I know that =
the color in the first Gladstone print was not that good. The language =
in the balloons was english though so it must have been American, =
Canadian, or British. Does anyone know? Please tell me if it has been =
re-printed in America. I would like to find this comic. Also, please, =
everyone tell me where I can subscribe to your country's Disney Comics. =

Carl Barks has asked me to post a correction to the message I posted from
him on the Disney Comics Digest V99 #153.

As I originally posted it, the last paragraph of his statement read:

"It's really no big matter. Less than one-thousandth of one percent of
America's populace ever read a Disney comic."

The last paragraph of his statement should read instead:

"It's really no big matter. Less than one-thousandth of one percent of
America's populace ever read a Disney comic, or any comic, that critically,
anyway."

This statement now reflects his original intention.

I apologize for any misunderstanding that may have arisen out of my earlier
posting.

The story is "Land of the Totempoles" published in Dell Four Color 263 in
February 1950.
Art and story by Carl Barks.

Note that they don't mention the URL as a reference per se (i.e.,
material they consulted to write the article). They just say to visit
the site for more information on hidden Mickeys.

Now, if that's not an *UNDERSTATEMENT*, I wonder what is!!!!

I have a feeling I will not be the only one to answer this, but the Lo$ has
been collected in paper-back and hard-bound valumes in various countries.
Gladstone has put out a hard-cover volume in the U.S., while in Europe the
collected Lo$ was published in Scandinavia, Italy and France (as far as I
know). The French paper-back edition even includes 2 additional chapters.
I've also seen the Italian and Swedish editions, also nicely done!

New page looks good, but one little problem I noticed with the Australian
section was that the issue series pull down lists "OS: G series comics", this is
not right as there is both a "G" series and an "OS" series, and they are
different(eg.there is a G60 and an OS60).
