Luca Boschi :
A few weeks ago on this list we were informed that "I Maestri Disney" had been canceled, and that seemed a really bad news.
So I was gladly surprised when I recently found, in the newsstands, a new issue "I Maestri Disney oro" (The golden Maestri Disney), classed n. 19 and dedicated to Scarpa. Since you wrote the editorial, I guess you are the best placed to inform us about this new comic : is it a one-shot or the beginning of a second Maestri series? I so, which will be the issue rate? Monthly? Bimonthly?
Just one remark : in future please take better care of the drawings sequence : in the first story, "Topolino e l'enigma di Brigaboom", in pages 50 and 54 the second and third rows were clearly inverted. Such an error is hardly acceptable in a comic worth about 8 Euros!
However a very nice item for Scarpa lovers as me and Marco...

*** SPOILER FOR FANTASIA 2000 ***

In the Noah's Ark segment in Fantasia 2000, we see that among the
"two of each species" pairs in Noah's Ark there are two ducks and two
whatever-it-is-that-Donald-and-Daisy-are. Thus, it would seem that the
official Disney position is that Donald and Daisy are not ducks, but a
different species!

Yeah, I know that this was only put for the gag of showing Donald's
reaction at seeing the pair of real ducks boarding the Ark, but unless
you want to infer that Noah was not entirely fair, taking more than
one pair from some species, the conclusion that Donald is a different
species is obvious!

At the risk of displaying to to the world my in no way impressive
knowledge of the Bible (I _could_ go home and check first, but then I'd
have to wait until tomorrow to post this), I think Noah actually DID take
more than one pair from some of the species, didn't he? If that's true,
and nothing further is mentioned, then we still don't know for sure
whether whatever-it-is-that-Donald-and-Daisy-are (WIITDADA) = ducks ;)

In any case I _do_ remember that there were eight humans on the Ark, which
means that the WIITDADA could even be humans! Then Donald would have to be
one of Noah's three sons, and Daisy his wife.

I may be stretching the significance of the gag here :)

And let's not forget that there are many different species of ducks anyway.

That's not obvious. According to Genesis 7:2, by divine command (and NOT
by 'not being fair'), Noah took seven pairs of the clean species, one pair
of the unclean species; pigs and the like. (Guess The Three Little Pigs
had to pick straws.... ;-)

Yes Arthur, you have. I uploaded 17 pages last week, but I didn't post it
here because I was waiting to upload the last 16. In conclusion, there are
now 30 pages available, plus the cover of the magazine.
