I thought everyone knew. Again, I assume too much (sorry), but I know
that BB's are found in many parts of Europe. They are simple little cloth
creatures filled with 'beans' that exemplify the worst type of collecting-
for-profit-only behavior. If you want to know more, just use a search
engine or use "Beanie" as the key word on Ebay (expect 100's of hits).
In all fairness, some are cute and many people collect them for their own
pleasure and not as an investment. The same thing happens in other
hobbies. Thank goodness nobody does that with comic books!

Hi everyone,
As Gary wrote a couple of digests back, I was able to
"put in an appearance" up at the Pennsylvania event.
As luck would have it, the traffic getting to the site
was nasty and my fiancee and I already had plans for
the evening back home. The hour was well worth it for
the chance to see Don once again and meet Gary and
Archontis. Don, I imagine this was an unusual venue
for you, but, given the state of Disney comics here,
I'm not surprised. Gary's statement concerning the
surprise of the members of the Donald Duck fan club
founded by Don's hosts is also not surprising. My
interests branch over to general Disneyana and I find
I am always having to educate fans and collectors
about the appalling state of our corner of the hobby.
General Disneyana brings me to Kriton's question:
> Um, what are beanie babies? (A cross between jelly
> beans and jelly
> babies, perhaps?)
If your question is not just in jest, it almost seems
incredible that someone has succeeded in missing this
craze. If so, more power to you! My understanding of
the background of Beanie Babies: about six+ years ago
a company named Ty started selling miniature stuffed
animals filled with soft pellets rather than stuffing.
They sold them under the trademarked name "Beanie
Babies". They caught on with the youngsters and even
more with adults (go figure??). The craze has now
somewhat died out to the point where Ty stopped making
them as of Dec. 31st. Disney, true to form, didn't
come out with any of their own until approx. 1997 and
is still making them, with, of course, the requisite
limited editions, etc.
That's as off-topic as I want to go!
Take care all as I dip back into lurker mode,
Chuck Munson

New US Donald story
Message 94 -
2000-04-19 at 02:04:41
Hi Everyone,
Steven Rowe beat me to the punch. When I discovered
the new Donald story on Sunday, I imagine my jaw did
the proverbial slam on the floor. Naturally I forgot
to bring the book with me to my office where I have
e-mail access.
On the positive side it is a story in Disney
Adventures with "REAL" Disney characters - Donald and
Ludwig von Drake. It has been years since we saw
anything in Disney Adventures resembling a Disney duck
(or goof ...or chipmunk ...or, well, I hope you get
the idea).
On the negative side, it seems to be a not very well
written Americanized version of the Paperinik (for the
Italians)/Phantomias (for the Germans) adventures.
Ludwig is playing the disembodied voice guiding Donald
to the super-mysterious Ducklair Tower (a carbon copy
of the original) where he needs Don to help him save
the Earth. Howvever, to persuade Donald to his higher
instincts in a more physical manner is a wise-cracking
bee (yes, you read correctly, a bee), named Spike (who
resembles the bee from the Donald and the bee animated
shorts of the late 40's - "Bee on Guard", "Slide,
Donald, Slide", "Bee at the Beach"' etc.). Donald,
when attired in the suit left for him at the Ducklair
Tower laboratory/headquarters, becomes the "Duck
Avenger" (somebody thought for about two seconds to
come up with *that* name). Part One ends with Donald
in front of a portal where Ludwig is telling him he
will be transported to a planet named, if memory
serves correctly, Zandarr, whose inhabitants want to
destroy us.
I'm assuming from the names in the story credits that
they are all Americans, so there doesn't seem to be
any acknowledgment in the credits to the original
creators. My final word is that we're getting the
usual half-baked offering from Disney whenever the
company and comics come together. I'll be interested
to hear the opinions of other list members.
Take care everyone,
Chuck Munson

>>>>>>>For the sake of understanding "comic book logic": what if you had
put in
a balloon of curses from DD in the same pannel? It would've manifested
that the boss had his window open, and that he was hearing bad language.
This would have been even funnier, IMO. *But*: would that now be "comic
book logical"? I mean, is it possible for the reader to sense oral
language, while the person closest to it doesn't?
I must address each point of your question or I'd seem rude, but I think we
have crossed into the area termed "beating a dead horse".
No, that would not have worked. The curse balloon would have to have been
in the previous panel where DD is getting his fingers smashed. And that
would have been too soon -- you can't show the smashing of the fingers and
the cursing in the same panel... one follows the other, it is not
simultaneous. It can't be in the panel you suggest because it would appear,
left to right, *after* the word balloon containing where you wish to place
the off-screen person's reaction to hearing it. So, the panel could be
flipped, then the balloon order would be fine. But that still wouldn't
explain why the person much closer to the cursing does not hear it. And we,
as the readers, could not hear it if the secretary could not since we are
even further from DD's window -- it would be different if the scene were
viewed from over DD's shoulder and we were outside the window with DD, then
we'd be able to hear something that the scretary might not, but that would
not explain how the off-screen person could hear it without showing clearly
that he/she was sitting by an adjacent open window. (pant, pant, pant)
Cripes, why keep trying to figure this out? Instead of going to all this
needless trouble to add a joke where none is required and where one will
not fit, the translator could simply *leave the script as it was intended*!
>>>>Assuming, of course,
Grette/Kerstin/Mildred, also known as "the Fuckin' Sec" (a perfectly
timed movie reference, btw - but can *you* recognize it??),
Nope... I don't think that sounds like a line from anything on *my*
"favorite films" list... unless... that isn't what Humphrey Bogart called
Lee Patrick in "The Maltese Falcon", is it? (I think not.)

Well, I'd never heard of these things. I just asked a colleague, who
has a small daughter, if she's heard of them, and though she's seen such
toys, she wasn't aware of the name either. Either Beanie Babies never
made it to Greece, or they weren't such a big hit over here.

The art style is similar to the back page gags of the early Gladstone
issues (c. 1987) credited to writer Bob Foster and artist Frank Smith,
whose first work on the Sundays was in 1976-1980. It would appear that
Smith has been the regular artist on the strip since then, even if there
have been art by others on occasion, like Daan Jippes and J?rgen Klubien.
The backpage gags are btw not in our database, and except for some
Swedish reprints of 1993 Sundays we don't have very much knowledge
(actually none at all) of the fate of the DD newspaper strip.
It's quite nice to see one copyrighted in 2000, showing that the
duck is alive and well - even if he has gone down and under. :-)
Steve Rowe/Chuck Munson:
Likewise it's very interesting to know that he (the duck) is still
published in the US, though under strange circumstances. One thing
is that the Italian Super Duck ("Paperinik") stories are the ones
Disney considers appropriate for the new millennium, but why on
Earth (or Zandarr or wherever) would they not use the original
Italian stories, when Ducklair Tower, the artificial intelligence
Uno (who only 'looks' a bit like Ludwig Von Drake) and the alien
invasion plot appears to have made the translation successfully?
Perhaps because the Italian stories are too long? About 60-70 pages
each and about 40 chapters of them so far.
I'm curious to know more about this new story. How long is this first
part and how many are planned? Who are the creators?
A scan or two would also be much appreciated. Thanks.
Arthur Faria:
Speaking of scans, it's a great job you're doing on those Brazilian
stories for us. I know from experience that there's a lot of work in
translating and lettering stories even with the aid of a good image
editor. Thanks for the effort. I enjoy the stories very much and hope
many others do too.

They will stay there for *two* weeks now, since some members
aren't having the time to download them.
--On classical stories in English:
I really love to read classical Disney stories
(Barks, Gottfredson, Murry, Strobl, etc) in English.
I've already downloaded:
DD Dangerous Disguise
DD's Atom Bomb
DD Forbidden Valley
US Treasure of Marco Polo
US War of The Wendigo (not so old)
MM in World War II (Italian and English)
MM Nazi Spy
MM Secret Mission
and many DD Sundays by Taliaferro.
I'd appreciate any hints about URLs where I can
find and download more of those great old stories!

Question: Gladstone Publishing and the Works of Carl Barks

This concerns the availability of certain Disney comics in the US ..
Does anyone know the fate of Gladstone Publishing and the Works of
Carl Barks ? Best I can determine is that Gladstone lost its licence
around mid 1999 and another outfit -- Gemstone -- was going to
acquire the necessary rights and continue publishing them.
Can anyone clue me in ?
