Spielberg has used a number of Barks inspired Uncle Scrooge story booby
traps in the Indiana Jones series of movies; eg: the large rolling boulder
in the first movie (from Seven Cities of Cibola and Prize of Pizzaro?) and
the large horizontal decapitating axe in the last movie "The Final
Crusade" inspired by the 'Prize of Pizzaro'. Also there was the runaway
mine truck ride in the second movie, inspired by the Terrie Fermie story.

Ole, Ari:
thanks for the names.
> In Holland, these people are named Andy, Barry,
> Frans, Petra, Victor and Rob
> Danish translation:
> Arthur, Daniel, Harry, Ketty, Tom, and Peter.
> In Finnish they are Arttu, Taneli, Harri, Kati, Olli and Pertti.
I also found out the German names now:
Arius, Darius, Harius, Laria, Frerius, Perius.
The Finnish is quite close, actually. Kati/Ketty/Laria should be spelled
"Katie". Olli/Tom/Frerius is "Augie". And the others are indeed Arthur,
Dani?l, Harry, and Per.
The characters even resemble us - up to a certain point... 8-)
I wonder if there is (or will be) any country where Augie keeps his original
name...

I'm a representative of Inducks (http://here.is/inducks), a Disney comics
database thats goal is to contain all information about all Disney comics in
the world.
This may look similar 8-), but I think there are some differences:
- Inducks lists all comics in the world, not only American (I suspect
Longbox is USA-only)
- Inducks lists the complete contents of every comic book. I don't suspect
Longbox to be that exact.
- Inducks data for USA comics has been transferred to the Grand Comics
Database (GCD) - as far as I know the first internet project trying to put
all (USA) comics in a database. I'm not sure why there are several other
databases that seem to be competing in stead of cooperating.

So would I! In Inducks, we especially miss information about the Marvel

>of New York and the poem entitled "More HooZoo" from the "Mickey Mouse
Annual"

The Dean MM ANNUAL in question was really published in 1932, as
explained in several reference books. British annuals are traditionally
published for the Christmas season each year; the copy in my collection has
a holiday inscription dated 1932.
The poem in it, illustrated with comic art and some speech balloons,
is really titled "Mickey's 'Hoozoo', Witswitch, and Wotswot." The running
title "More Hoozoo" is just printed on the later pages of the poem so
readers will know that it's continuing.

That should be WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN ("killed", not "shot").
>Clara Hen (Cluck)
She's been Clara Cluck from the beginning in 1931, when McKay's
ADVENTURES OF MICKEY MOUSE BOOK 1 calls her "Clara Cluck the Hen".
The name "Clara Hen" is only used in the 1932 MICKEY MOUSE ANNUAL.
It was used when she'd already been Clara Cluck for a year. That means that
"Clara Hen" is very simply an *error* on the part of the English writer at
Dean and Son.

The earliest MM Annuals have *lots* of characters who never appeared
again.
But there are some obscure characters out there who actually did
make regular return appearances.
Gideon Goat, the hick farmer from some 1930s Mickey Sunday pages, is
also a recurring character in 1930s W- and U-coded stories.
MICKEY MOUSE MAGAZINE and MICKEY MOUSE WEEKLY regularly include a
character named Sammy Skunk as a member of Mickey's gang. He looks like
Squeakie the squirrel from YM 003, but with a white stripe on his tail and
humanized.
MICKEY MOUSE MAGAZINE also includes a *giraffe* member of the gang
named Peninsula Giraffe. Looks like a younger version of the giraffe
character from Elmer Elephant. Fairly frequent around 1937.

Hello there,
I have put together a web page which will be mainly
scans of "studio" stories from the 60's.
On the page at the moment is "The Case Of The Soccer
Tickets" (23 pages)....and half of "Pearl Island" (14
of 28 pages).
The scans are large and will take a while to
download...but should be worth it.

Kalevala
Message 68 -

Hi all,
At long last the Kalevala story is being printed now in my country. Whewww.
Such a long wait for me. The story is printed in 3 parts, like all other
countries' versions. And this weekly just begun by printing the 1st part.
Should been completed by the next two weeks.
The good news, the Kalevalian rune-o-meter lines translations were typed
with italic letters.
The bad news, None of the eight-syllabels, or the "bullet" to stress the
words were translated perfectly. It seemed that the translators here
translate the Kalevalian words as a normal dialogue. Ugh.
It's not Don's best story but still packed a punch or two. Though the poor
translation make it lost its' high points.
What's more interesting is that i heard rumors that the coloring were done
by local studios, not by the foreign studios. Whether this is true or not, i
have no idea. So i'll just describe the local version's colors. The first
panel: Scrooge money bin is colored green and the 2nd panel, all the coins
are yellow.
Kudos to Rosa for a refreshing and historical (or is it mythical???) story.
Best,
Arie Fachrisal (and a guy named Joe from Singapore)

English-language comics are printed in India.
There have been recent mention about the names used in my story,
MEN IN BACK (D98168; art by Bancells). The names and likenesses
used were related to a few of the list members here. I made no
mention of it ahead of time so as not to draw attention to it, nor
disappoint anyone should it fail to pass, as happened with an
earlier story, PASTAPAZOOM (D96104; also by Bancells), sabotaged
by an Egmont editor and rendered unprintable. I can now apologize
to Augie, Wes and others who in good faith helped me to name a
raft of pastas. I'm sorry to see that such effort will never be
rewarded, as I had promised. I'm also sorry it's taken four years
to find out the story will never be published.

Last weeks Donald Duck in Egmontland had the first part of
a story by W. Van Horn. In this story Rumpus wants half of
Scrooge's money. His lawyer claims that he is entitled to
this because he was deprived of seeing his family after
his mother left Scrooge's father Fergus McDuck.
I've never seen any reference to divorce in a d-c story before.
Have any of you?

I never thought I'd say this, but...
...it must be relatively hard to find at least. This is a Gladstone
comic I never really realized had actually come out!
When the digest line was canceled (1987), the last few digests that
were advertised were never actually published. US Digest 5 never came to my
local shop, or to any shop I ever visited, so I assumed it was one of this
advertised-but-unpublished group.
Now I see that it has apparently been around for years, even in
back-issue ads, even in the Inducks, and I somehow glossed over it every
time... anyway, I'd guess it's pretty scarce, all right.
