The following information is from Alberto Becattini:

<<
Carl Barks submitted 12 gags in 1939 and 2 in 1940. I have no clue as to
which strips he actually wrote. Apart from 39-09-11, which was spotted by
Michael Naiman and published in Comic Book Marketplace # 40. Indeed, Michael
found that Barks had recycled that daily strip gag as the "Beans" gag page
appearing in Four Color # 189.

Michael (if you're reading this) or anyone: do we know of other published
Barks strips?

It is *not* recommended to use HTML mail for the DCML mailing list.
But I think you didn't do that anyway - your mail didn't look like HTML to
me.

A few things I've been wondering lately.............

1) Does anyone know if Daan Jippes has redrawn King Scrooge the First?

2) There was a discussion a few weeks ago about Scrooge owning 3 cubic
acres of cash, and most agreed that he couldn't own that amount of money.
In the Cornelius Coot statue story, we see that Scrooge has a basement
vault underneath the main bin. I think it's possible that he could have
the rest of the 3 cubic acres there. Any thoughts?

3) How are things going with the US comics license? Are we still at the
same standstill? Is there any hope at all?

Great page Timo! It's a shame to se so much injustice with some of this
great finish artists...on a countrie where Disney Comics are so popular,
it's natural that it contains your own production...I hope to see more
interisting things on your site!

I specially liked this:

The Best and the Brightest: Donald Duck

HELSINKI (Reuters) - In its quest to hire the best and brightest, Finnish
mobile phone software maker Wapit Ltd turned to Donald Duck.

The company has taken out an ad in the weekly comic featuring the web-footed
Walt Disney Co. cartoon star.

``We've found that many of the best IT people read Donald Duck,'' Wapit
marketing director and founder Mato Valtonen, the former singer in the spoof
rockabilly band Leningrad Cowboys, said.

``A lot of our own employees read it and they say their friends and
colleagues are huge fans,'' he told Reuters.

A spokeswoman at the comic book's publisher in Finland, Helsinki Media, said
that some 27,000 Finns read the comic every year, the majority between the
ages of seven and 45.

I thought that I might be able to contribute to the discussion of the
inspiration for Barks? The Screaming Cowboy. He may simply have been
making his own wry contribution to what appears to have been a genre of
Western music in the 30s and 40s. A brief search of the American Premium
Record Guide: 1900-1965 (Krause Publications, 5th edition, 1997) reveals
the following song titles: The Happy Cowboy, The Roving Cowboy, The
Sporting Cowboy, The Gamblin? Cowboy, The Lonely Cowboy, and The Dying
Cowboy- not to mention The Yodeling Cowgirl. I didn?t notice a recording
of The Laughing Cowboy or The Crying Cowboy, although the BMI website
(http://bmi.com/) credits these tunes to Gregory Catherine (who
apparently made a career of adapting traditional American folk songs- so
they could be even older).

However, the inspiration for The Screaming Cowboy may have been more
immediate. At the time the story was written (early 1951), it would have
been nearly impossible to avoid exposure to the popular yodeling style
of Hank Williams. His recent #1 hits- Lovesick Blues (March 1949), Lone
Gone Lonesome Blues (March 1950), and Moanin? the Blues (November 1950)
no doubt elicited a mixed reaction from the general radio audience, and
could have been the stimuli for this creative response of Carl Barks.

Regarding cracks in the floor of the money bin, recall the one that Dread Valley Scotty retrieved gold dust from as it leaked into an old tunnel that run under the bin in WDCS 220( I think, or close to that number). Of course, this may have leaked from the pre-existing cracks.

Merry Christmas everyone!
We're having a white Christmas here in Rotterdam! :o)
