Hi all,
Delurking for a minute to clear up a common
misconception about the time-frame of "Song of the
South".

Slavery was politically correct in the South until the
13th amendment. It was not right, however.
While I'm not attempting to contradict or even comment
upon the entire issue of American race relations which
constantly are churned up whenever this movie is
mentioned and seemingly necessitates a thorough
explanation of the last 400 years of the history of
this continent in order to give our non-North American
members some understanding of the power this issue
has, the film itself is set post-Civil War, not
pre-Civil War. Therefore, while there was no lack of
impediments remaining to tie any of the blacks
depicted in the film to the plantation where they were
at the end of the Civil War, they were not "legally"
slaves. That is as off-topic as I feel I should get,
but hope that helps with understanding film's context.
Take care,
Chuck

From: "Fernando Ventura"
>>>I like to ask to all the members from the list how you conserve yours
comics?
The best way to conserve/preserve comics or any old magazines, etc., is to
come as close as you conveniently can to the following: keep the comics
packed fairly tightly, standing on edge like books, in archival-quality (no
acid content) cardboard file boxes in a cool, dark room with the ideal
humidity of 50%. You do NOT (and I am eager to answer anytime anyone asks
this question in order to dispel this silly myth), repeat, you do NOT need
to, and in fact SHOULD not keep them in "comic bags" with or without
"backing boards". Those things are good when the comics are in the hands of
a dealer where they will be moved around and handled frequently by
shoppers. But the bags not only do not help preserve the comics, they
actually do damage to them in the long run due to the chemicals in the
cheap plastic.
It is not a *bad* idea to keep older comics in Mylar comic bags, but it's
pointless to use the expensive ones that cost $1 each. I do put my older
issues, more or less any of them that I did not persoanlly buy off the
stands since 1965, in the things called "Mylites" (very thin Mylar) simply
so that I do not have to worry about handling them. But even the Mylites
cost 20 cents each or more, and that can run into some $ if you have lotsa
funnybooks. Just remember that the bags never preserve the comics, only
protect them from handling if they are fragile. Comics (at least American
ones) are printed on cheap paper that will decompose within a century no
matter how you store the things... which doesn't bother me much since I'll
do the same thing and be beyond caring at that point. Rare or historical
books are preserved at the Library of Congress by being dis-assembled and
put through chemical baths and drying processes... but doing that to a
comic book would so change it from it's original integral beauty that it
should sooner be photographed and digitally stored on CDs, and then the
original allowed to turn to dust in its own sweet time.

Hey Horizon,

the
>presentation of the slaves in the feature film from which the cartoons

>They are shown as happy, contented "workers" -- not as slaves
Workers, not slaves.
That's absolutely right...
...because (as the film's shooting script and various novelizations
make clear) the film is set in the 1880s, two decades *after* the end of
slavery. The problem is that it's not made particularly clear, so many
viewers assume that the black characters in the film are supposed to be
slaves.
Of course, even as workers, African-Americans of the 1880s led
pretty dismal, racism-ridden lives. SONG OF THE SOUTH is a mixed bag in that
case. We do see that Johnny's (white) parents do treat Uncle Remus quite
unfairly - so unfairly that he plans to move away, which makes them change
their tune. On the other hand, the movie unfortunately shows the other black
farm workers as content with their lot and looking up all-too-reverently to
their white employers.
In light of this mixed bag, it's interesting to read Walter Koenig's
book _Mouse Under Glass_ (an analysis of Disney films published in recent
years). It talks about how SONG OF THE SOUTH represents a battle between two
scriptwriters: one more liberal, one more old-fashioned. The liberal writer
wanted to make the plantation impoverished, with its owners owing money to
the black farmhands - and the farmhands protesting this, forming one of the
plot's major crises. The old-fashioned writer wanted to do an old-style
plantation stereotype.
The old-fashioned writer had more power, and got his way. What a
shame, for SONG OF THE SOUTH's live sequences aren't just somewhat
stereotypical; they're as boring as they come.

In German Disney publications we don't see any articles like this at all. The only
exception are Don's comments on his stories in our Rosa album series. I must say,
I should like to read such stuff more often here in Germany, but I realize that
there is hardly any title, where such things would fit.
One may debate if the latest article in Komix was too analytical or not. I myself
like to see a somehow 'scientific approach' to the area every once in a while.
Then, it is a matter of taste of how deep an analysis you prefer. Anyway, I think
you are quite lucky, that you have those articles in Greece.
And, of course, I am very grateful, that Kriton takes the labour of translating
these articles for us. It must be a lot of work. Thank you very much!

First: I don't think this is an off-topic theme (as Fernando Ventura said),
because with the comic books gone there's not much use both to the DCML and
the INDUCKS that are dedicated to them.
I'm actually thinking of having my collection of Disney comic books undergo
those chemical procedures you talk about, at least the old ones. I bought
most of them second hand and some are in a not so very good condition. By
having the acid taken out I could enjoy them longer, because they are not
getting worse (I know you can't improve them). Secondly, they would be
preserved for future generations. I don't think many people will have their
comic books chemically treated, so they could completely disappear one fine
day. This would be my way to do something against that. I should add that
German comics are printed on much better paper than the American ones, so I
think it's worth the expense.
I spoke with a librarian about how to get the acid out of the comics that
destroys them, and I got the impression that it's neither difficult nor too
expensive. Maybe I'm getting too off-topic NOW. If someone knows more about
that process or has had it done, I'd be happy about some infos (by private
e-mail).

A weasel? Even though I understand your suggestion, I still think he looks
more like a dog-face. I'm curious what others think. Does someone know
a story in which Carl Barks clearly used a weasel-face? This might be
of help for comparison.
However, a self-caricature doesn't nescessarily need to be honest. In
"Sherrif of Bullett Valley", Carl Barks used a self-caricutare on a
"wanted" sign. Of course, being on a "wanted" sign doesn't nescessarily
mean that the portrayed person really *is* guilty, but it shows at least
that being honest/dishonest doesn't draw a line in what can be a
self-caricature or not. An advantage of a self-caricature is that one
can make fun of him/herself in a way that other people wouldn't even
dare to think about.

Your question was not off-topic my friend. As a caring reader of Disney

That's the way it should be.
I may preserve my own comics wrong, having them on shelves. But I don't
use bags, only for my oldest editions. Especially my almost mint comic
from 1953.
I don't care much for the one I have from 1951 and payed 35 $ for...
It's a bad condition. But the yearbook of that year will be out soon
and I'll be able to read a fair publication of the comic.

I agree with Kriton, Barks wouldn't depict himself as a dishonest
weasel.
Allthough he did depict himself once, and it says: wanted for being bad
