A similar game, "slaaball", is popular with kids in Norway to. But only as
a schoolyard and street activity. Nothing is organized like in Finland. But
I guess this sort of game is common throughout Europe.

And no one has come up with an explanation yet. Everyone was as puzzled as
I was by the scene? Why wasn't the editor puzzled? It must mean
*something* -- there must be *some* explanation. They wouldn't put such a
bizarre scene on a cover without a reason. Would they?

Y'know, that sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Somebody is gonna

AKU ANKKA used the excellent coloring done by the French... but that means
they had to use ALL the coloring, including the elements that are usually
colored differently in the French comics. Also, the French know that I want
the Money Bin coins to be silver and copper so they color them that way for
my stories, and they even put a "$" on the Bin rather than a "f" which is
nice of them. The AKU ANKKA staff has the computer know-how to go in and
change a few things in France's computer-coloring.... in fact, they do
super coloring themselves, as seen on the covers I've done for them. I
guess I could have suggested colors that should be changed in the French
version, but I did not do so. The Finns, nice as they are, probably
wouldn't mind if I suggested a few small changes -- f'rinstance, in France
they often color the Beagle Boys as if they are wearing white gloves like
they stumbled out of a Mickey Mouse comic... and that looks odd in my
stories since I often draw fingernails and hair on the backs of the BB's
hands... and nailed, hairy gloves look really creepy.

The reason for the ghost of the cover of the weekly (issue 11 in DK)
may be that the issue contained an extra/surprise (one of these silly
things for the kiddies!) that was some pens to make invisible writing.
There's also an editorial about secret messages
and other invisiple advice.
I understand why you're confused... It does a lot like Casper, the
friendly ghost, and I wonder what license he's under!

I heard from one of my finnish friends that it's seeable. EGA-printing,
he called it, and it sounds like that page in the german Rosa-al?bum
where they used something like a fax of that extra page you did for the
american version of the Incredible Shrinking Tightwad.

A guess would be november or around new year. In 1998 they published
Cutty sark just before new year, so it might happen again.
It's just such a long time to wait, but then I'll read the Attaack

Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

Hello all,
I have a problem, and I'm wondering if someone out there can help me with
it.
I am a not a comic book collector. When I read comics, it's for the art
and the story, but I'm not the type that then puts them away in plastic
sleeves so I can sell them for a lot of money 40 years later. I'm the kind of
person that wishes they had comics at my local public library so that I could
read them and then return them.
Anyway, I'd really love to read Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. But I
can't pay the $4 back issue price. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
(If you do, any chance they apply to the Carl Barks library or other Rosa
stories as well? :-) )
Thank you very much,
Yossi Horowitz

In the 50th aniversery book which came out for Donald's birthday in 1984,
there is a quote from Walt Disney that they put donald in a sailor suit
because sailor suits "were quite typical for young boys to wear in the
thirties" and that they had wanted Donald to seem as immature as possible
since he and Peter Pig were prepresenting the "just desserts" aspect of 'The
Wise Little Hen'. (woops, now there's a run on sentence...)
In that same book, there's a section on Clarence Nash. It said that Clarence
came to Walt with a whole bunch of animal immiations. Donald's voice had
initially been his immitation of a baby goat but when Walt heard it he was
like, "I found my duck!" (cause I think they were already working on 'The
Wise Little Hen' at that time...or something like that....)
Anyway....I'm only catching up on about a weeks worth of digests now, so I
guess I'm jumping in kind of late... Right now there's every single one of
the out of print Carl Barks Library sets for sale on ebay. I thought I'd
mention it because I know the later ones are very difficult to find, and I
think I recall that someone had part of their collection stolen a while ago
or something, and didn't think they'd be able to replace certain volumes...

I totally agree having read it in french, and being responsible
for that calendar I made for duckhunt around christmas.
BTW I am not planning to tell the unpublished-stories-administrator,
Sigvald to take the story away, as it has only been published in France
and Finland.
If we eventually see it in other countries as Germany Italy and the
egmont-.countries, It has no reason to be online anymore.
I know that AA is known to be a very nice magazine, with nice
Rosa-covers from time to time. Nevertheless the coloring is not a
special new one , of this Coin-story. They seem to have receioved the
coloured version from France whwere they colour the charecters spats
(feet-things) and clothes, and helpers the way you state. France also
coloured the greenbacks silver in that story, which is a little goof.
I'm surprised that AA didn't recolor the story into the normal
scandinavian colours, which would be normal to do.

We are talking about USA, right? I am not sure if this
will apply there, but do they have have those comics
in some other public library? If so, you might be able
to get them temporally to your library as a some sort
of "a long distance lend". Some other DCML reader who
has got the american issues could probably give the
needed information to specify which numbers of which
magazine you want etc. If all else fails, is there
(USA?) such a library which collects one copy of practically everything
for researchers to use?
As of how much this costs or even if it is possible,
I obviously don't have a clue. At least in Finland
"long distance lend" is rather cheap and finding a
library which has comics is easy.

Here's some more on the subject: I've read (from several sources) Walt was
listening to radio where he heard Nash doing his duck imitation. It was a little
girl duck reading the song "Mary had a little lamb" (incindetally [?] I remember
a short cartoon with Mickey (Orphan's Benefit, methinks) where Donald is trying
to recite exactly the same rhyme). Walt got the idea for a duck character from
that and invited Nash to the studios.
The book "The Disney Studio Story" (Holliss & Sibley, 1988) tells nothing more
than this: "His (Donald's) unique voice was supplied by Clarence Nash, who had
auditioned at the Studio while working for a milk company." That seems to support
Rebecca's story.
Now, back to lurking mode...

What could be best, with such an awful weather as we're having
right now, than rummaging in one's comics collection ? :-)
Here's some more:

"I'll believe in ANY KIND of witching - even to old ladies
riding around on brooms!"

13, 1: "Oh, my stars! This means that by now Uncle Scrooge's money
cache is a disaster area!"
14, 3: "I-I--- What DID those Beagle Boys DO to you?"

I'd like to thank those gentle souls that answered my questions
and send me scans of "Hark the Ark." I'll put your names on the
introduction-page. Thank you.
I'll let you know when I've
uploaded the final(?) version of my pages.

Hmm... I suppose I could do it through interlibrary lone via my university,
but not for the original comics; I've never seen any library ever that lends
out things like that. But I seem to recall seeing a picture of a hardcover
collection of all of the issues somewhere on the web. Does anyone know if
that book actually exists, and if so, what is its official title and ISBN
number?
Thank you,
