Of course, my "workaround" idea doesn't change any of the stories
themselves. It's only an attempt which tries to 'explain' the confusion
caused by the different statements in stories mentioning the relation
between Uncle Scrooge and Grandma.

I think that the Dutch editor will use the Euro, but I think that they will
have a lot of work in changing reprinted work from before that time.

I also doubt if the Euro will a success. I think the people who are
responsible for a united Europe have a "just wait and see" attitude towards
the European people. And since such responsible people are known to have
made big mistakes before, I think the people simply don't trust them.

I also think that because of that attitude, a lot of people simply don't
*know* what's going on.

I was thinking of some kind European Gladstone comic. Not (nescessarily)
for children, but (also) for the mature people.

I had a non-related "aunt" and "uncle" when I was a kid. I wouldn't
be surprised if that sort of thing is pretty common worldwide.

Gladstone *still* on the Web: http://www.brucehamilton.com/gladstone

I put another Fethry spin-off story on
the Web:

B 840033 Fethry Kid "How a brave is born"

where an (official?) version of Fethry kid's
origin is told (nothing to do with his first
origin as a FE's comic strip hero for US' newspaper).

Thank you, Sonia. But the "Hist?ria do Computador" story
is being uploaded by Pedro Cravo.

Hi, Erik and Harry!

Thanks for the news about the article on Marco Rota.

> Sorry, no English version, but you might still understand something!

Yes... Something... 8-)
Indeed, I can tell you that the story "T e la tigre col fiocco" is NOT
Marco's first Disney story, as I write in my article on ZP. It has been
"believed to have been", but there are four or five before it... With Goofy,
Eega Beeva, Morty and Ferdy and HDL.
Indeed, in the Per Starback Uppsala list they are pointed correctly.

Bye, and thanks!
Luca

P.S.: For HARRY...

Well... I can't even read all the messages coming from the Mailing Lists!
How could I conserve everything! A lot of work, and many hours a day of my
life are spent each day in front of this #@%%$**!! monitor! :-)

Ciao!

Thank you Sonia and Arthur. I'm sorry I haven't finished uploading the
story, but I've been busy with the European Tourism Congress that will be
held on Beja (Portugal) next June 1 and 2. I'll try to upload the last 16
pages in June 3. After that I may have some time to start translating the
story to english. Anyway, I hope some of you enjoy it even in portuguese.

You shouldn't be ;). If it were more pixalated, press would have noticed it
and printed it from the right file.

Seems you have forgotten to do some changes in the html-file...

Great! Hungry for more. A racy detail: on the last panel
of page 5, Fethry is ordering "duck egg" for a meal....
