I'm deeply impressed by Carl Barks' comments on death. I hope he's wrong on
this subject and that there really is life after death.
But even if he is right about the human mind being a computer, and that his
computer is now turned off, then there is still lots of his output and
software running on the computers of his many fans.
Even if there isn't life after death, I think that a person only really is
dead if he/she is faded from the memory of the living people and the people
who have yet to be born. So, at least in this context, Carl Barks' soul is
still alive for me.
Best wishes,

My local newspaper has an article about Pluto's tongue today.
The calendar for 2001 in Donald Duck & co will be printed on
Pluto's tongue. The calendars are printed in China, and the Norwegian
calendars all have Norwegian AND Swedish text, so two schools and
a sports club are hired to correct the 400.000 mistakes.
Those interested can read the article at
http://www.fedrelandsvennen.no/regional/kristiansand/63460.html
there's a small picture of the calendar.

It is in Inducks. It's drawn by Xavi (Xavier Vives). See
http://stp.ling.uu.se/cgi-bin/starback/dcml/story?D+99168
You probably used the French COA search page:

Apparently, the French data is a bit older than on the Swedish DCML site

I haven't checked this manually, but the index says something like:
Writer: Stefan Petruska
Art: Xavi
Characters are: HH,MM,GO,MI,CL,PL,Butch
Description: big ego gives wrong answers in a quiz
However, Branca *did* in fact draw the mouse and the Goofy, but only
very rarely and as far as I know only on covers. Don't know if any of
these were ever published in France--guess not! Perhaps Ole can provide
a scan. Ole, I seem to remember some GH cover by Branca with MM and GO
on it???!

Hello,
The latest issue of Le Journal de Mickey contains a story featuring Mickey and Horace Horsecollar and It looks like it was drawn by Daniel Branca. (I checked the references for this story -D 99168- but it doesn't look like it's INDUCKSed yet).
Of course I'm no specialist but I thought Branca "specialized" in Ducks.
So... Am I wrong or am I wrong :-) ?

Amazing! I was going to ask Michael how he did his search to see what went
wrong, but now I know that *I* am the guilty one.
Indeed the COA search page (the link above) above is not updated every day
but once in a while by me.
The art style in the "Quiz chaud" D 99168 story is BTW not as good as Branca
(IMO) but looks a bit like some Carvana (the Goofy gags) or Rodriques
stories.

Okay, I recall one time when I was doing a story on $crooge's storage
closet where he would store left over junk from the past -- not the
valuable trophies from treasure hunts and triumphs, but the nonvaluable
stuff from otherwise memorable old adventures -- and I asked for and
received lists of ideas from you nice folks.
Now I would like to know about the MONEY BIN. What does the Bin contain
besides 3 cubic acres of cash? I don't mean what else is buried in the
cash, but what about the other parts of the Bin? What other rooms and
facilities are in there? If anyone wants to give me a list of their ideas,
remember that whatever you have in mind, it must fit easily into a narrow
building that's about 12 stories tall, around 120 ft. wide and only about
30 ft. thick. Any portion of that cubistic building that is not the cash
vault must exist inside the narrow front facade, eh?
Thanks.

Well, what a coincidence... The latest 3 issues of the Italian weekly
"Topolino" contained the first 3 instalments of a new "mini-series" of
stories, called "I segreti del deposito" (The Secrets of the Money Bin). The
author's (Augusto Macchetto) purpose is exactly to explore the non-vault
parts of the Bin...
If I remember correctly, the topics touched so far were pertinent to the
Italian canon only, though. For example, this week's story reveals what's
contained inside the Bin's dome, while last week we managed to have a look
at Scrooge's butler's (Battista) room.
The stories' quality is not bad, IMHO - most of all, I've found the general
idea quite interesting. Now, I'm very curious to see what Don can produce
out of it!

As Botto Armando said, there are some rooms like Scrooge's buttler room.
Apart from that there are some other rooms:
1) The library room
2) the pigeons room in the roof! ("How Green was my Lettuce")
3) A *really* big room for his computer ("The Money Well")
It's easy to find new rooms, specially when you have a big Carl Barks
collection :-)
You can use also your imagination! For example, an underground parking room
or... toilet facilities specially for ducks! :-)

As I said it depends on what you're looking for but for old comics Lutece II
and Alesia are the best to my knowledge. The prices are almost reasonable.
Alesia will give usually give you 10-15 % discount if you ask them.
There is another third librairy with many old and rare comics, "L'age d'or"
(13e) but I would not recommend it, because the prices are extremely high.
Never buy in that librairy, but you can always go and see what comics they
have.
There is also one (similar to Lutece) in Bruxelles, "Les petits papiers", 15
boulevard Lemonnier with many French comics.

Boulinier has improved in recent years. They put Disney comics in two or
three different places BTW.

Or the smaller (but sometimes better) one in Porte d'Orleans / Porte
d'Italie every saturday.
In the "brocantes" you can find the best prices (better than flea markets).
Brocantes in province usually are the best (I recommend Mezille in mid
August, Lille in the beginning of september, Aillant sur Tholon in July,
Armeau in september).
