Hi, guys, I am back after all these years :)
Anyhow, wouldn't it be possible for Don to make the
English dialog of his stories available? This way, one
could subscribe to a European comic book that
publishes his work, and still enjoy the original
dialog.

Hidden Mickey Mouse?
Message 49 -

DON:
In chapter five of The Life and Times of $crooge McDuck (The New Laird of
Castle McDuck) on page 13, 1st panel there is a little black mouse on the
floor. I wondered if this is one of your hidden Mickeys or if it is just a
plain castle mouse. I'm in doubt, especially because the body doesn't look
very much like Mickeys, but the head does.
Best wishes,
Thomas Lauritsen

The Indian comic I obtained with the help of an Indian friend is not in
digest-size, but an oversized comic-book (like the long-cancelled English
"Mickey and Friends"). It features the same Egmont-stuff like the German
"Micky Maus", and even a story by Marco Rota. But maybe the size has
changed in the meantime, the one and only issue I have is from 1996.

I think I can help with 2 of your questions.
1)* US 63-02 ("House of Haunts"): What does Donald say on page 13, panel
1 and page 14, panel 3?
page 13, panel 1: DD: Oh, my stars! This means that by now Uncle
Scrooge's money cache is a disaster area!
Nephew: Uncle Scrooge, come back!
page 14, panel 3: US: You spoke to me, Donald! You can see me! You
must be a spirit too!
DD: I-I--What did those Beagle Boys do to you?
2)* WDC 146-01 ("Omelet"): What does the woman say on page 5, panel 7?
Woman: Is it a plague of locusts?
Man: No! Just those screwball ducks again!
Hope this helps. I do have the Bottled Battlers story around somewhere,
but I don't know what book it's in for sure, and I'm a little short on
time right now. If no one else can help you find it let me know and I
will.

I've seen no Disney comics from India, of any vintage, so you're one
up on me there. I've quickly come to the conclusion that my
information, while maybe not inaccurate, is nevertheless limited, so
this seems to be a subject ripe for exploration. And if leads to a
couple of legit options for English readers of Disney comics, hoo-hah!

Hi,
I was reading the last issue of Zio Paperone, and as at the same
it was a good issue... but this time something very bad hooked my
attention: at page 67 there is a sort of fan drawing from Walt
Simonson about comics collectors.. the gag is OK (it is about
Scrooge spending all his money to buy himself Barksian comic
books) but it is what Donald says to his nephews that is of a
very bad taste:
Donald and nephews are going to US money bin, and while walking
HDL ask Donald "Unca Donald, who *WAS* Carl Barks?"... and the
was is also in bold fonts! Carl **IS** the greatest comic book
artist of all times, not "was"!!!!!
It really struck me badly. :-(

Me too!
At first I thought it could be bad taste in the translation, but I rushed to
check the original (as I think you did too) and saw that that "was" was
there too :-(

Well, I got the same bad feeling. But we can say two things.
One: the translation is correct.
Two: the gag was written in a period in which Carl Barks was supposed not to
write or draw Duck stories anymore, for this reason HDL talks about him as
if he were far in the time like an Andersen, or a Perrault... The reality
and the perspective that now we know is very different from the 70es, when
Barks' name was not so popular. Also in Italy, I well remember how much
money fans were paying old T or AR comics, if a Barks story was printed in
them. Twice or more the "normal" prices (without Barks' stories).
Bye!

No URL :-) I just happen to have two Gladstone's "Uncle Scrooge Adventures"
(Thanks to Archontis!) and that gag is on one of those :-)
And the nephew says: "Who WAS Carl Barks, unca Donald?" (with the "WAS" in
bold).
