Seems you and Daniel have time to waste to argue on the wordings that
one should use or not use on this mailing list...
If you have another vision of the Ducks than Don's, just explain what
your vision is.

Hi,

I got a question on Mickey's pet raven. He's mostly called "Maxi Smart", some-
times also "Bruno". He appears only in Scarpa-drawn and Scarpa-written,
Italian
stories.

There's also another raven who also can speak, the list with international
Disney
characters names says for Goofy's pet raven:

en:Ellsworth
[Goofy's pet raven (who can also talk)]
de:Moses
es-es:Gancho
fr:Genius
it:Gancio
la:Brutus
nl-nl:Leo de Beo
no:Kra
pt:Amadeu(?)

Does anybody know something about this couriosity? I'd say that Goofy's pet
raven is another "person" than Mickey's raven. Does anybody know his name
in other languages?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Harry,

Do you know Joe Torcivia? Holy Mother!!! May all things be
precious!!! This is the man that wrote "The Kryptonite Kid!" WOW! COOL! I
know that this is off topic, but I can't believe someone else actually knows
about Joe Torcivia. Is there some way that I could contact him via e-mail?
To let him know about how I feel about his book. Thanks for all your help in
advance.

Sincerely,

Arthur S Bowman

Well, I'm not used to that. My mails are usually *boring*, as many people
here can confirm... 8-)

Let me correct you a bit, my dear friend :-))

Bruto became Mickey's partner in *all* (but two, maybe three) of Scarpa's
stories since "Topolino e i bottoni imperiali" (TL 1073, year 1976).
In that story Ellsworth sends Bruto to Mickey, with a letter in which he
asks him to take care of Bruto for "some days" !(HDL style).
Since then Bruto starred in all the stories written by Scarpa (the Mice
stories I mean), but not only until 1985, until now! Exceptions are the
stories about the "Venice Golden Iron" (don't know why, maybe for the *real*
disney character parade in Venice those days) and the French story two years
ago.
All these stories have internal continuity, a thing I love, and note that in
the first of this (see above, the "Imperial buttons") features one only MM's
nephew... Ferdie (Or Morty, I don't remember), just as in late Gottfredon's
stories!

I'm working on a site about such thing.. as I already said I love continuity
:-)

Strange but true. A company named Digiscents will
start bringing scent related products and software to
computers and internet in the next half year. They
plan to make it possible for webpages, tv, movies,
video games, e-mails, and etc to have actual scents. A
device the size of a pencil sharpener will emit smells
everytime code programmed into the software, webpage,
or tape, film, or signal instructs it to. The smells
will last 1-2 seconds., which brings me to my point?

What would Uncle Scrooge's money bin smell like? Its
contents been locked up in there since...what 1908?
Then, again, the ben's very well filtered since
Scrooge takes regular swims through his calvade of
coins. I imagine Donald gets to fumigate it every so
often too.

Seriously, comic companies will eventually use this
technology, and technology it is. The same people who
started Digiscents also mapped out the first human
gene in the genome project. Scientists, professors,
leading researchers from around the world are joining
them to make this a reality. But, it's already is a
reality.

Sure the smells will lack that true natural smell at
first; although, I think it's only a matter a time
before people using the web, will not only be
enlightened with ads, but inclined to rush out to say
McDonalds (heh, I just realized I inadverdently made a
funny - McDonalds - ha ha) and buy that new duck (I
mean fish - now I'm doing it on purpose) sandwich
because they smelled it first on the internet.

I don't want to get off topic here, so, my point is
that it will be possible for Disney stories on the web
to have smells. Artists and writers could even suggest
where and when they'd want a smell to occur. I think
that's fascinating. I work in local access tv as a
producer, and I've already made contacts with people
abroad and at Digiscents who want to develope ways to
bring scent to local access programs through the
internet and to webpages in general.

As a fan of comics though I've been thinking "what
stories" would be the best ones to smell? In this case
what Disney stories? I imagine in a few years they'll
be giving out "Best use of Scent in a Comic" at the
Eisner, Harvey, or etc awards. It just amazes me! I
guess we could also find out what Donalds icecream
floats smell like. Then, again, do we really "need"
smell in this medium? We'll soon find out.
