This sounds very interesting, especially as there's nearly no information
available about Murry. Could you give the year, the issue-number and the
page-numbers, so that I can try to get that article via my University library?
Thanks and best wishes,

Recently someone asked about the Erlangen Comic Salon, a comics
convention in Germany. That reminded me of 1996, when Don Rosa
attended the Comic Salon. I digged out a German newspaper article
of that time, containing three sketches by Don Rosa, drawn
exclusively for that newspaper.
If you want to know:
- are there are any news concerning Donald's and Daisy's
relationship,
- what's Donald's opinion about computers,
- is Scrooge McDuck really sponsoring Erlangen Comic Salon,

Name of the newspaper is "Nuernberger Nachrichten" (I hope the German

correct.

If there's anybody who'd be willing to make photocopies of this article in
Persistence of Vision #5 for me (or even have a spare copy for sale :) ),
I'd be very grateful. I most likely have some interesting material to trade

Hmm, alrightythen. ;-) But don't you think someone was helping you get
another gag, instead of just establishing someone *did* shut the window,
which the reader already is too aware of? Insider-jokes are always great
- *if* the reader is aware of such matters. A superior example is the
story in which Byron shows up in the door of a comics shop in one
pannel. That was rich. But when there is room for another gag, like here
in the "Incident"- story (that one even can sense is coming from the
previous page), and the only thing you get to know is that the boss
noticed the window was shut by his secretary... NO, if *I'd* been
reading that script before the printing I would've insisted on
re-writing that. The more gags the better, I think. Usually, your
stories *are* jam-packed with gags -and that's the way it should be.
Don't miss out on one. ;-)
Btw, in the D&$ publication, the dialogue is changed to be a little more
faithful to your script, however not exact:
- Did I just hear you shut the window, Gretta!
- Yes, it was getting too drafty!
Just for your information.
Also, I think your original words in the end-scene are better as a gag,
but is it really good as the final line of the story? The re-written one
is worthless as a gag of its own, but it does sum up the entire story in
a good way, doesn't it? But of course it's always annoying when someone
makes changes to a script that, if I understand it correct, already was
approved.
In the Swedish translation U$ says... hmm, it's quite hard to translate
directly, as it's a Swedish proverb. But the meaning is something
between "Mind your own business, will you!" and "Why are you always so
interested in what *I'm* doing?".

As mentioned in a previous post, I traveled down to Binghamton
NY and met with Archontis Pantsios. He and I went down into
the Amish country of south Pennslyvania and spent most of the
day (Sat-4/15) with Don Rosa. He was a guest for the opening
of a 'museum' for Donald Duck items (old and new). Most of us
fans know that Don himself has an impressive collection of DD
figures, toys,etc.....oh, and a few comic books.
Don kept busy talking with everyone and signing autographs.
There were about 20 people who were 'members' (they paid
dues for a newsletter subscription), but most of them had only
been interested in "Disneyana" merchandise and never in comic
books. Don patiently explained that the DD of Barks was very
different than the Disney cartoon version. Most were surprised
to hear that 'duck' titles were not even published in our country
at the present. Don tried to explain the history of Disney comics
to them, but I sensed they did not understand fully. Later at
supper, one person innocently remarked " Don does not seem
to like Disney much.".
On the lighter side, it was the first face-to-face meeting between
Archontis and Don. We were lucky to sit right across from Don
at supper and discuss many subjects. I must mention that Don
was late arriving from the museum to the restaurant (he rode with
one of the owners). When we asked what caused the delay, he
explained that as they were about to close and leave the museum,
a large group of tourists walked in and wanted to buy BEANIE
BABIES!!! (LOL - I don't need to explain the irony there, do I?)
I must also mention that we were surprised that another DCML
member, Chuck Munson (and fiancee Becky Renn) came all the
way from the Washington,DC area even though they could only
stay a short time. He is included in some photos we took and as
soon as I get them developed,scanned, and online I will let you
all know. It was a great day worth the long drive. Thanks, Don.

I agree! Especially since any added gags are credited to me! But you cannot
add a gag where that gag does not fit, and I explained why the "gag" added
at that point was an improperly timed reaction to something that didn't
happen (DD cursing), or if it had happened it could not have been heard...
plus it was so obscure that I never even realized what it meant or that it
might have been supposed to be funny until you described what you thought
it refered to.

It was exact in meaning. That, of course, is the important thing. Since all

Ah. I'll bet that's Stephan's work! He noticed that the line in the script
he was given was an odd non-sequiter to the plot, and he replaced it with a
good gag, and a gag that fit the circumstances. For it to have been another
added gag of an inappropriate nature, $crooge might, for example, have made
a reference to DD's falling into the fish store window. Even if it had been
funny, it would have been a reference to something that he could not have
known, similar to something that could not have been heard.
