Wilma van den Bosch works for VNU in the Netherlands.
She is part-time employed to draw editorial stuff for their various
Disney Publications (illustrations, covers, etc.). The rest of her time,
amongst other things she scripts and draws Disney comics (not only Ducks)
on a freelance basis.
Recently Wilma scripted most of the H-coded stories in VNU's "Katrien",
of which two issues have been published and a third is in production.
At the moment she is drawing a number of stories she scripted herself,
about what happens to Donald Duck in Timbuktu, after he flees there from
Duckburg. About 30p of these scripts have already been bought, and will
eventually be published in the Dutch weekly Donald Duck.
Earlier this year (issues 9-21) Donald Duck published the first part
(45p) of the non-Disney comic "Prinses Aster", which Wilma wrote and drew
herself.

I just received a letter from Another Rainbow with some interesting
news (or lack thereof). As I haven't seen any mention of it yet, I'm
reproducing it below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 13, 1999
Dear Friend,
It seems appropriate to send a final mailing in this millennium to
give you our best wishes for the Year 2000 and pass along a gossipy
tidbit or two.
*Gladstone Comic Book Subscriptions*: Everyone I talk to says they
don't want their money refunded--they just want the Disney Comic books
back. If I have not made this clear before, I want to reemphasize that
all subscription monies have been set aside in a special account, so the
money is there if, at a future date, after all this time, the continuing
negotiations between Diamond and Disney fall apart. Remember, however,
Steve Geppi has indicated that all patient subscribers will be given
one or more extra, free issues (depending on how many remain) when
publishing resumes. Four books have been prepared, are on the shelf,
pre-planning done for several others.
Disney has apparently mandated that no specifics of the on-going
dialogs may be shared with anyone, obviously including us, so I've not
been able to offer help or insights to either side. I learned some time
ago, however, that most basic points have been resolved, so the bogging
down must involve boilerplate issues. I have heard from other sources
that Disney's current approval processes for licensees are so restrictive
they now demand controls far beyond what is actually in effect with any
existing comic book licensee in the world. Maybe this information is not
correct; I certainly hope so. If half is true, however, it would take
a herculean effort to put out any regularly scheduled publication. But
enough for now. Hold on! It may be, as they say, a bumpy ride.
*Carl Barks*: Yours truly will be visiting the Old Duck Man in
another week, with follow-ups scheduled in January and February. What's
on tap? Well, something _is_ up and our next letter will reveal all! Hint:
Carl has stated emphatically he feels it is an "honor". Hmmm.
*Another Rainbow's Lithograph Program*: A magnificent Money Bin--but
which?--is tentatively scheduled for our next release, either late
February or in March.
*For the Christmas Shopper*: If you'd like a last-minute stocking
stuffer of Gladstone comics for a young one, (in age or spirit), we'll
rush off a Christmas gift directly to him, her or them with your name as
the giver, (1) so it will be delivered by Xmas or (2) so they will get
a letter from Gladstone telling them it will be arriving shortly. Any
quantity of Gladstone back issues (no albums), a mixed variety, our
choosing, no duplicates, _up to 100_ @ $1.00 apiece (minimum 15),
foreign $1.20 apiece, postage included. Orders may be placed by check
or by credit card for speed.

Hi,
I just managed to get my hands on 'The Quest for Kalevala' and read it
like a man, who's lost in a desert, drinks water. Great work Don. I
think only now I understand the depth of your background research and
skill. Not only have you practiced but you are gifted (people who
practice enough can give us a great story but people with a gift can
give us a story with that special 'something').
But I have a question: if I remember correctly your stories usually take
place around 50 ties, 60 ties or something like this, right? So why did
you leave in what look like cell phone relay masts to the panel 1 on
page 25 (the one where Iku-Turso & Louhi find themselves in front of the
Helsinki central station [you know, the building with four figures
holding glass orbs])?
Otherwise, in addition to a great story, The Quest for Kalavale gives
interesting american view of Helsinki.
btw. the white cap probably should be on the female figure on that Havis
Amanda statue, at least on May, 1st ;-)
(I think, I'm not from Helsinki :-)
Merry Xmas & Happy Millennium (or just a Happy New Year, which ever you
prefer)

Tonight was one of those blustery cold nights that are best spent curled
up with a good comic book. This particular night I was rummaging through
my younger brother's collection of DDA (That's the only title he
collects) for issues that I haven't read. (I did find a couple Van Horn
stories) Anyway............he asked a question that I didn't know the
answer to, and the more I thought about it the more I wanted to know.
Why does Donald have a blue sailor suit on the cover of books, but a
black one inside?
Also, I think US 179 has The Lemming With The Locket in it. At least
that's what I think someone on the list said before. And it has the
famous cover of Scrooge getting his fortune told by Daisy. A really nice
cover actually.

I think it's an esthetical matter. A big black spot on a cover simply does
not look very well. That's also why the nephews' suits are coloured on
covers sometimes.
> Also, I think US 179 has The Lemming With The Locket in it.
Correct. That information is also in our database (Inducks). But US 179 is
one of the few USA comics that we don't have a *complete* index of - yet.

Hey!
>> Why does Donald have a blue sailor suit on the cover of books, but a
>> black one inside?
Well...
In cartoons, Donald's shirt is of course blue. Combined with his
white body, it makes for great, visually appealing contrast. When Donald
first appeared in comics - in the full-color Sunday funnies - the desire for
contrast continued, so the blue was kept.
The problem came when Donald entered *daily* (i. e. non-colored)
newspaper comics of his own, in 1938. The shirt that had been colored blue
would now print as white. No contrast. So the decision came to make the
shirt black - thus preserving the desired contrast even on a black-and-white
newspaper page.
When Western Publishing reprinted these daily newspaper strips in
their comic books (starting in 1940), it was easier simply to leave the
shirt black - even in full color - than to bleach it out and recolor it
blue.
And when Western *then* began to create DD comic book stories of
their own (1942), they wanted them to be of-a-piece with the DD newspaper
strips they were then running. The majority of these strips, at the time,
were dailies (i. e. black shirt). So Barks and others gave Donald a black
shirt in the new comic book stories, disregarding the reason that the black
shirt was originally used.
In short, we've still got a black-shirted Donald in sophisticated,
full-color comics of today because of a decision made in 1938 for black and
white newspapers. Funny, huh?
