Can anyone remember a HDL/DD story in which HDL make up a (ray?) gun
from pieces that come inside corn flake(or something like that) packets
as a giveaway? ,I think it would have been a Barks story ,but I can't
say for sure.

Alecto.

Don *is* a super, super nice guy, but perhaps it would have been better
if his home address were left in a web page where one has to actively
search for it. I understand that when Don first wrote to Komix, they
were so impressed to hear from him that that they published a photograph
of the envelope in which his letter came, on which his address could be
clearly seen. For the next few months, Don was flooded by fan mail from
Greece. I fear that something similar may happen now.

Hi, everybody
Since I posted my message here, I've received many e-mails from fellow =
fans. Most asked about Indonesian version of Disney comics. Well, it is =
called Donal Bebek here, Donal is for Donald and Bebek is for Duck. It =
used to print good stuffs by Barks, Rosa, Van Horn, and many others, but =
now it is degrading in terms of contents' quality. No more hot stuff =
from hot artists. So, I'm late at keeping up with the latest hot Duck =
stories.
I get the feeling that I'm the first or one of the first Indonesian =
person who joins this mailing list. I need to know if there's any =
Indonesian people who have made contacts with fellow duck fans all =
around the world before me.
Don't get me wrong. I do not intend to brag myself nor have the =
ambition to be the first Duck fan from Indonesia (I gain nothing from =
it). It's just that Disney comics here never print anything about the =
artists, not even their names. This infuriates me, they (the artists) =
deserve some credit and respect. So, I guess only a few of Disney fans =
here in Indonesia know about Barks, Rosa, Taliaferro, etc. If there are =
any Indonesian fans out there, I would like to know so I can contact 'em =
whenever I want to. Me? I got lucky, I accidentaly read and bought =
Gladstone books and found out about the artists.
Well, this is just a little desciption of Indonesian Disney comics. =
Hopefully, all of you will find this informative. If it's boring for =
some of you, I apologize.
PS thanks everybody for the feedback of my previous question.
More PS : I've received e-mails from several countries asking about the =
possibility of trading comics. If any of you wants to trade with me, =
just contact me. But priority is given to those who've been contacted me =
before. Thanks, everybody.=20

I can't resist. I must write about this!
It was YEARS since I last found on "Topolino" a story like this, that made
me laugh loud on every page, that I re-read in 24 hours finding more and
more amusing details. It is a true masterpiece, and (what's more!) promises
to be only the beginning of a new series!

The story is written by Tito Faraci and drawn by Silvia Ziche. This is
absolutely the BEST couple of scripter and artist now at work for Disney
Italy, so maybe it's not so surprising after all that this story is good;
but it's more, I must say, it's absolutely a masterpiece.
The story starts in the large villa of the gangster Rud McStud; a character
very very similar to the boss starring in <INFIERNO!> (a non-Disney Story
by the same couple). McStud's idea is: why are we after Mickey Mouse?
Possibly he is NOT the real mind against crime; possibly GOOFY is the
genius in the couple. So McStud sends two gangsters after Goofy, their
mission being to learn whether Goofy is really a great mind. I can't
describe what happens afterwards, it must be read. But every page is
enjoyable!
I hope this is really only the beginning of a new series of stories; they
definitely would reconcile adult readers with the Italian "Topolino"...!

The Australian version of No Such Varmint has several missing panels, and
given the previous discussion, I deceided to check what had been taken out.
Interesting... it would seem the story was Australianized, they have taken
out the panels where Donald charms wild snakes (supposed to be on pages
5&6). They left in the panels where the snakes were tame... maybe they
didn't want to scare children with the thought of wild snakes popping out
from behind rocks and in tree trunks? (Australia has a large snake
population). Later on in the story they also took out the panels where the
kids are zapped by electric eels!!

Interesting ! I did the same with the Australian version of
"Dangerous Disguise" (thanks for uploading it, Alecto !).
(I compared the Italian translation of the story, so I cannot say
anything about changes in the dialogue.)

Five pages were cut from the original 28-page version, as follows:
Page 1 to 13 were left untouched.
On page 14, the caption in panel 2 was obviously rewritten; in panel
4, the editors erased Donald and the nephews! In the original version, the
spy crashes into them, when jumping out of the train...
The lower half of original page 14 was entirely cut out, and the
same happened for the whole of original pages 15, 16, 17, and 18.
(In the cut sequence, the spy offers drugged bread and salami to the
ducks. Donald falls asleep with his neck on the railway tracks; luckily, the
train stops a few centimeters from him, because the railway personnel goes
on strike at that very moment... The ducks wake up, see the empty train, get
on and start the engine. The spy, who had taken a nap in a nearby meadow,
jumps on the train.)
Panels 1,2, and 3 of original page 19 become panels 5, 6, and 7 of
page 14 in the Australian version; Australian panel 8 is "recycled" from
original page 16, panel 3, with the caption probably rewritten.
The lower half of original page 19 is again cut out (the spy stops
the train using the emergency brake, then almost faints when she realizes
no-one was driving).
Pages 15 to 23 of the Australian version coincide with pages 20 to
28 of the original.

I have no idea of the reason for the Australianization ;-) of the
story... Maybe it was just a matter of space... Or maybe the children
shouldn't be exposed to the idea of "strike" ? Actually, there's another
reference to the railway strike in the bottom half of page 18, just where
the cutting ends... Who knows...

Ciao,
Armando
