Ooops, sorry for the confusion. It's his son (not biolgical
son, but adoptive son, right!).

They hopefully didn't, and I'm so used to
nephews-uncles/aunts relations in Disney comics, that I
forgot the real truth.
About my previous post, I used the term "purist" but didn't
mean anything pejorative with that; more as a way to tease
knowledgable Disney comic fans. I hope this was not confusing
either.

Just a funny coincidence
Message 152 -

I just wanted to mention a funny coincidence concerning Mr John Lustig.
In Sweden the three little pigs are called Bror Duktig (Practical Pig)
Bror Hurtig (the one with the flat hat) and Bror Lustig (the one with
the small white kinda round on the top hat). Bror Lustig would translate
to Brother Funny approximately. (If anyone has a better translation
please tell us about it.)
Now I'm not trying to poke fun of you John, just pointing out an amusing
Disney relation that you maybe didn't know about.
All the best

Scarpa not coming to Helsinki Comics Festival - Finland

Hi!
Sad news to all who planned to visit Helsinki Comics Festivals next weekend
(18-20th of August) to see Scarpa. Scarpa injured himself few days ago, not
seriously, but badly enough to not be able to travel.

Oh, my loved comics! Since I have move for another home, my DCs are
closed in boxes hard to find a special number. But, if as far as I can
remember, Amadeo is a crown who appeared on stories with Michey and
Goofy (and he was not a school boy as is sugested in this scan). Later
he appeared with Joe Carioca, for a short period of time. I don't know
his English name, but I don't think he is a brazilian character. I will
try to find some Ze Carioca's comics in the boxes this weekend.

nobody mentioned was the great amount of work that it would take to learn the
programs and keep the computer happy and working properly. (I've given up
threatening my computer. Instead, I've started praying to it and offering
sacrifices--in the form of huge amounts of cash for upgrades--to keep it
happy.)
But you're right about computers being fun (sometimes.) Meeting nice fans
from Holland is just one of the benefits. Thanks for posting the pics from
your American adventure...although for some reason your pictures make it look
like I'm going a little bald.
As far as Van Horn reconsidering...well, Bill and his wife, Elaine, are going
to be visiting us in a couple of days and I'll be showing him some stuff on
my computer that'll hopefully intrigue him. But I'm not holding my
breath...waiting for him to join the 20th Century...much less the 21st.
By the way--for those handful of you in the Seattle area--Bill Van Horn will
be the featured speaker this Friday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. at Cartoonist
Norwest. The meeting is held at the School of Visual Concepts, 500 Aurora
Ave. N. in Seattle and is free to the public...although there is a suggested
donation of $1 to help pay for the cost of the room.

MS Windows has nothing to do with it... A great deal of the others here
are probably also using Windows... The problem lies in MS and Netscape
not telling their users that for simplicity (and smaller messages) most
other mail-clients use plain text.
I encourage people to ALWAYS use plain text in mail, since you never
know what the person in the other end uses, and the standard says plain
text. The standard also talks about MIME-encoding, which is what OE does
when sending html, but this is optional in a mail-client...
> Sorry about that.
Apology accepted.. :)
Hmmm... that's two in a row where I don't talk about comics at
all... Sorry.. :)
