Hello "Quackeroos (?)! This is my first general posting after almost 2
years on the list. I hope I did it correctly!

Regarding A.C. Sivebaek's comment on Morton's inquiry, - yes, Barks DID
specify some locations of Donald's house, as well as Scrooge's "McDuck
Building (with its auxiliary money bin (not the one on Killmotor Hill!).
In a 1949 C & S story, he told us Donald lived on Oak Street (no street
number provided). In 2 1950's stories, Donald lived at 1313 Quack Street,
and 1313 Webfoot Walk. The McDuck Building was on Quack Street, but
Downtown, near the Center (so it must have had a much LOWER number -but
none was given). Scrooge's small house was on 33 "B" Street- next to
Jughead Jones (and his tulip garden). Gladstone lived on Ducklake Lane (I
forget the number -1950's story -can anyone help?). I've no time to
research my CBL now. Gladstone's Aunt, Susibelle Swan, lived at 45 Mallard
Avenue. I don't believe Barks listed a street for Daisy's or Gyro's
houses, although both were on the South Side (not far from Donald's). Gyro
was born and raised on the tougher North Side. No barks address for
Grandma's farm (although a Strobl story had it on "Corntassel Road". Can
anyone else provide any additional Barks original references?

As to Barks Boulevard, it is quite common for cities to re-name old streets
after community or national heros, -so why not Duckburg?

Keep up the good (and interesting work)! Rob Klein

Will ever be printed in Italy these Scarpa Stories?

Are These written in italian, or should these be translated?

In Italian Comics News Magazine (More then a Pro-zine) "Fumo di China", no
news about one of the most important former-italian, now european,
comics-man!!!!!

Sorry for my bad english!
I'm new in the mailing list. It is very interesting. Thank you very much to
Don Rosa e Luca Boschi for their work!!!!!!

I wanted you to tell us what you were working on, because it's not
polite to quote private mails.

"The

10

This sounds great

This I don't understand... They don't want the stories? why? They are
said to say that the readers don't like the stories? I don't understand
that, as i thought they were among the most popular stories by you.
(Your Lo$ made me subscribe to the danish weekly if I remember right)
I would like to read the survey they made to defend this theory that
the readers don't like the Lo$.
On the other hand they might just say that to cover that something else
may be wrong here... In the weekly itself I have senced a change of
attitude towards Rosa, where they once called the stories fables and
said they were fantastic etc. where they now use a word (spinde videre
p? ~ continue (but with a negative ring to it)) that I don't really
like...
If I am wrong in this matter I would like to be corrected more than
enything else...

While we talk about ebay, I won an auction 11 days ago, from a guy
living in Miami, and today I received Gladsotne album no. 28 with at
least to great Rosa comics in it.

My friend Rob, so your mail did come here. It's interesting to read
about Donald's adresses.
I esepcially remember two stories where it is directly said that he
moves to another place, but I remember no adresses in that
connection...

In DK the charecters have the same adresses in the new issues. Mickey
lives on a certain adress and so. but the adresses are mainly jokes...
Goofy lives on Goofstreet (Mulev?nget) and Gyro on Genius-street!
Scrooge's house 8or is it the bin) is situated on the adress: Boulevard
of wealth, no. 888

Thsi expression sounds correct. Archontis for one, always uses it:-)

Welcome, and yes, you did, except you can also write to
dcml at stp.ling.uu.se instead, but till now the old adress seems to work.

Yeah, you're quite right. It is a very nice tribute too to the great
duck master.

subscribe to
> Picsou then... But how should I do it, and how much does a
subscription cost
> (outside France)?

When I find the mails I got from francois and Olivier on this matter,
I'll forward them to you.
But why should we give up? Is a boycot out of the question? or wouldn't
it work at all? Could we force our scandinavian weekly to publish the
now 1+2 stories either published or planned for Picsou?
A subscription to Picsou would be nice, but remember then that the new
Rosa-stories will be very spread, they wont come often, as there are
only two to come untill now. apart from that the Picsou is mainly Barks
and Rosa stories that we mostly have read before. One thing is
important though: the pin-ups, made solely for Picsou (i saw only one
reprinted, in a ducth album). Maybe a good thing would be to contact
the back-issues department of Picsou, and ask them to send the issue
with the coin, and later the issues with the other, certainly two,
stories by Don Rosa.

Now for something completely different: a Don Rosa comic.

What!!!?? Are they out of their minds???
I wonder what the ratio "grown up"-readers to kid-readers is... I've been
reading a lot of Picsou lately btw (I have an exam in french in 2 days,
and it's an effective way of being ineffective when you get tired of all
the evil grammar, without having a bad conscience about it.... :) (end of
long parenthesis)) and it seems to be a little more directed to at least
not diperkids... I don't know, an impression I got. At least they didn't
censor the Lo$ stories with guns like egmont did.

oh well, back to my french verbs...

Hi,

Anyone interested in Finland's presidential... uups!!! I meant 'anyone
interested in Duckburg's mayor's elections?'. Here are the candidates:
http://www.geocities.com/teme76/graphics/vaalit.jpg
There's a strange similarity between mayor candidates and finnish
presidential candidates... must be a coincidence. Oh, btw. numbers 5 & 8
are looking strong.
Those pictures were in the finnish Donald Duck weekly.

Hello to all.

Ever since U$ is no longer available in North America, I was wondering if
anyone has any news about anyone willing to pick up the title. I badly need
my fix of U$ and the fact that Don is still pumping them out (good thing)
and I can't get them (bad thing) depresses me greatly.

Thank you.

Do the writers speek Italian? If not, the stories are most surely written in
some other language. I think most of the writers don't speek Italian.
