Pascal usually does not use that kind of logic (others do but believe me NOT
him. He is much more interested in the number of reasers that PM gets than
in the profits it generates). I think he is trying to reprint every single
story that Barks ever created, but he might not do it in the most logical or
in in fans' favorite order.
Moreover, he is not against publishing some of Rota's stories, although he
does give preference to Barks and Rosa as an editorial choice.

The Tarzan comic adaptation (and some Dutch stuff)
Message 47 -
2000-01-12 at 17:23:35
USA publisher Dark Horse issued a 2-part adaptation
of the Disney movie Tarzan. This comic version was written
by Greg Ehbar, and drawn by Mario Cortez. This Dark
Horse version was reprinted in Holland in the weekly and
in an album.
Source: Stripschrift 323, December 1999.
I bought this Stripschrift together with some other
magazines at half price in the comic shop "Panda"
in The Hague. This shop exists 30 years this year,
and that was a reason for the owners to stop and
sell everything (or so they say). I was there last
Saturday, the third day that everything went at 1/2
price. The shop was already half empty! Some
interesting things (like the Mickey newspaper
xeroxes by Horst Schroeder, recently discussed
here on DCML) were already gone.
Other things I could still get my hands on.
As a coincidence, I also bought a Stripschrift
magazine of 30 years ago, because it has an
article and a comic of Mickey Mouse in Africa.
In the article. writer Henk Albers says: "making a
list of *all* the Mickey Mouse comic stories in
the world is impossible". Well, we try anyway! 8-)
That same Stripschrift has an advertisement about
"a new comic shop in the Hague" - the very same
that is closing exactly 30 years later!
In another issue of Stripschrift, there's an interview
with one of the *worst* Disney artists from Holland:
Carol Voges. He only mentions his Disney work
*once*, with the words: "I drew Disney comics
for the weekly for decennia. You name it, I drew it,
from Donald Duck to Chip 'n' Dale, and everything
in between. I never objected to doing that, and after
all, I need to earn a living."
Fortunately, Voges is not drawing Disney comics
anymore. Imagine the quality of the work when the
artist "never objected" to doing it...

The Blot's daughter
Message 50 -
2000-01-14 at 09:24:54
Hello!
I agree that the Phantom Blot story in MMA 8 is a very good story, and that
the Blot obviously loves his daughter. I am also glad that she's his
daughter, and not his niece, this making the story much more powerful.
However, I don't agree with Kriton that the creators look upon the Blot as a
space alien, becuse I think it's quite logical that she dresses like she
does, and I don't think that these 'clothes' are forced upon her. This for a
couple of reasons:
- I think that the Blot is kind of twisted. We have seldom seen him without
his black hood, so for him, this is the normal way to dress. What's normal
for him, he also wants to be normal for his daughter, because he loves her.
I think that neither the Blot nor his daughter regard this as a cruel act.
- The daughter also loves her father, and looks upon him as a hero that she
wants to be like. Then it's only natural that she dresses like him, and also
that all her dolls and stuffed animals are dressed the same way. This is
something she wants herself, and not something that her father forces her to
wear.
The Phantom Blot is not exactly the ideal father and role-model. It's not
very strange that his daughter is a bit different than other kids. I can't
help but feel a bit sorry for her.

Thanks for the info about the Brat. MMA 7 and 8 you say?
How old are they and is there a chance I can get hold of
them in a danish comic-shop or something? I'd really like
to read the stories, or maybe at least see one panel with
the charecter.
Obviously the danish editors of the weekly can't refer to a
mag that is american. Who would imagine that a person
would want to read a comic from another country?!! (Me,
and many of you friends here, I shouldn't wonder:-)

Well, strange coincidence, I bought those issues, from 1990,
(and a lot others) myself in Copenhagen, at Pharao's Cigarrer,
in 1998.
I know, it's some time ago, and since they were on a shelf
labelled "All at 10 Kr." I guess they went pretty fast, but
maybe it's worth checking, anyway... same goes for Fantask,
they kept a lot of Gladstone stuff, too.

Also, for those curious about what Mickey Mouse might look like
when drawn by John Byrne (I wouldn't have noticed, if they didn't
tell me :-), here's the cover of MMA #8
http://members.xoom.it/etabeta/mma8.jpg
However, the cover credits for MMA #8 say:
Art by John Byrne (with an assist by Michael Horowitz)
I wonder what that assist might have been... was that a basketball
style assist, like passing an idea and slam-dunk it :-), or...
Perhaps John Byrne didn't draw Mickey, after all... ?
A final note about the Phantom Brat:
The editors asked the readers, in MMA #8, to forward their opinions
about the character, especially as to whether, in their own words,
"Is she a sweet tyke who just happens to have a felon for a father?
Or is she as twisty as her old dad ?"
Will we ever know ? :-)

Olamo shel Disni
Message 56 -
2000-01-17 at 00:44:58
Hi!
As I told you two weeks ago, I bought some Disney comics in Israel in
December.
One is Winnie the Pooh (Poo Hadov, 'Pooh the bear'). This comic has no real
comic stories, only illustrated stories. It's aimed at small children -
most of the stories has vowels.
The other comic is Olamo shel Disni ('Disney's world'). Pages 12-47 are
used for text pages (about animals, sports, witches, monsters), a fact page
about "Ma'adam Mim" and a poster with Donald holding a horseshoe to protect
him from three black cats' bad luck.
In the first story (six pages), 'Donald Dak' asks Gyro to make a (female)
robot to do the house. Everything is ok until Donald presses the wrong
button. The robot gives Donald a *hot* bath and other ill treatment. On the
last page Donald flees Gyro's house after duplicating the robot.
Next is Ziko Haze'ev ('Zeke the Wolf'), two pages. Zeke scares a bear's
cub, and is chased by the cub's mother.
The third story is a 'Madam Mim' story. (D 97609 - 'Magic Mending', two pages)
Mim helps a friend fix things at a museum and accidently fixes the object
on display.
Then there's a Goofy story (seven pages). Goofy walks into a tree and
thinks he is dead. He steal food, and is chased to a hilltop. Mickey
catches him and tells him he's not dead.
The last story is another 'Donald Dak' six pager. Donald can't handle
watching a soccer match. The match is broadcasted everywhere, and Donald
ends up as a nervous wreck.
The total nuber of pages is 64.

Fellow Quackeroos:
It's been nearly 5 years since we returned to Greece, after having spent 15
years in the U.S. I decided it's time I go back, at least temporarily. Next
semester I'll be taking a Sabbatical Leave from my present school, and I'll
be spending it as a Visiting Professor of Economics at Binghamton
University--State University of New York, in up-state New York. I plan to
return to Greece in September, 2000, but there's a chance I might stay on
thru the end of 2000.
I'll be going back to a country I consider my "home away from home", and
from where I have mostly pleasant memories and experiences (in addition to
my two boys having being born there, I re-discovered Barks and Disney Comics
thru Gladstone back in 1987!). Now, I'll be going back to a Disney
comics-free U.S., so I'll have to rely heavily on mail service to satisfy my
comics-appetite!
I will be on-line at my current e-mail address thru this Thursday, January
20. I'm set to fly out of Athens on Friday, the 21st. Once I get settled at
my new place next week, I'll sign up to our DCML from my new e-mail account
at my new University, and I'll try to continue being an active participant.
Cheers,
Archontis

Yes! I've found one of the stories in a Norwegian comic.
As to indexing.... one additional problem is that it's got two prices:
9.30 shekels in the Eilat economic zone, and 10.90 shekels in the rest of
Israel.
I guess we'll have to discuss that when I get back to indexing.

>code in it!!!
Yes! I've found one of the stories in a Norwegian comic.
As to indexing.... one additional problem is that it's got two prices:
9.30 shekels in the Eilat economic zone, and 10.90 shekels in the rest of
Israel.
I guess we'll have to discuss that when I get back to indexing.

Vowels like AEOUI(Y)? Why would the consonants be omitted? How do you form
sensible language with vowels only?

This sounds like a Dutch (H-coded) story.

And this also sounds like a Dutch story I know. Donald does not want to see
the match because he wants to keep the fun for later that day (watching the
repeat or a video). So he doesn't want to know the end result.
