I guess this is not the same Gil Turner:
UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE ALLIGATOR
(c) 1953 Whitman Publishing Co
HC VG Authorized Edition story by Gil Turner illustrations by William
Weaver
A Tell-A-Tale Book
or is there just an error? Should it be Illustrations by Gil Turner and
story William Weaver??
I just don´t remember anymore, where I found this info about this book. It
has been inside my computer now few weeks/months (?) and forgot the whole
thing until now.. No picture of cover.. (perhaps it was in some reading room
index or something)

Yes, I always thought donald's birthday was considered june 9th since that
was his first debut....although obviously he could not have been born in the
year 1934, since he was somewhat grown up in the movie "wise little hen," I
figured they still kept the month and day.

Hello!
I sure wish I could attend your lectures about mathematics, Nils.
That's a great idea.
1/ I can't even remember how, but last week I found a site
that you may want to have a look at:
http://world.std.com/~reinhold/mathmovies.html
Its about references to mathematics in the movies.
some funny things.
2/ As regards the counting system (decimal or octal) and the
impossible "three cubic acres of cash", when reading over
"The Phantom of Notre-Duck" (U$ 60, Nov '65, Album 50),
I found an amazing item: a "no-limit adding machine" (right
in the first panel) in the shape of a *cubic* abacus !
This sure was but a throw-in gag, but in a sense it might
account for the incredible unit...

I believe Gil wrote other books for Whitman besides the one Timo listed. His (chloe) newspaper strip ran for about in year in 1948. I believe he is (1911-1967).

I DISCUSSED POSSIBILITIES ON DONALDS BIRTHDAY AND CAME UP WITH MARCH 13TH 1931.THIS WAS PRIMARILY BASED ON A RARE DISNEY PUBLICATION CALLED WALT DISNEY'S FAMILY ALBUM. THIS 30`S BOOK IS FILLED WITH BABY PICTURES OF MICKEY AND HIS FRIENDS. IT LISTS FRIDAY THE 13TH AS DONALD BIRTHDAY. CHECKING BACK CALENDARS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MARCH 1931. PISCES HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY SLYNESS,MOODINESS AND CHRONIC DISCONTENT.

Upcoming Dutch Disney comic publications:
Tomorrow (I hope): BESTE VERHALEN #106
Week 14: Disney Festival #4. Comic versions of modern TV cartoons. Like The
Lion King, Pocahontas, etc. The comic album was named after the Belgian
(Flemish) TV series.
Week 15: Robin Hood. The film adaptation, released because of the video and
DVD.
Week 18: OOM DAGOBERT #65, De krimpende vrek (an album in the Dutch Rosa
series, this time containing "The Shrinking Tightwad" and other stories).
Week 21: BESTE VERHALEN #107, Donald Duck als erfgenaam (seems to contain
a.o. "Bongo on the Congo").
Week 26: BIG FUN #3. Long and very long stories from Egmont. Indeed big fun!
They are good reading on lazy summer days. I enjoyed issue #1 on Mikonos
(Greece) two years ago. Last year, I read #2 near the swimming pool in a
hotel in the San Francisco area. 8-)
Week 17: DD Pocket #77
Week 21: DUBBEL POCKET #11
Week 23: DD Pocket #78
The usual Egmont/Italian pocket books. And I'm still 20 pocket books behind
in my reading...

Maybe someone be interested in the fact that some of that (wonderful)
stories, mostly by Ken Hultgren, Lynn Karp, Jack Bradbury and Dan Gordon,
were published in Italy too, in different sizes and books, from the 50es to
the 60es, by different publishers (among which Locatelli - giveaway

the b&w proofs from ACG.And the following ones got the same proofs from the

I beg your great pardon, but "slyness" really is nonsense. Through the
centuries, astrologers always agreed about there being no more
na?ve and absent-minded sign than Pisces. It's true that Pisces does suffer
from moodiness and chronic doscontent, but not from the
aggressive kind - as does Donald - but from the sad and "weeping" kind. To
put it still another way, Pisces is melancholic, but Donald is
choleric.
For finding a good example of a Pisces in the comics, you have to
go outside the Disney universe: take a look at Charlie Brown!

A reading tip, The Deer-cow.

Hi !
I just had the opportunity to read a very funny and wonderfully absurd
story which I would like to recommend to all of you to try and get your
hands on. Unfortunately that might not be so easy.
The Deer-cow was first published in MOC 56 1950. For more info see
http://stp.ling.uu.se/cgi-bin/starback/dcml/story?W+MOC+56-01
Ola in snowy windy Stockholm -4
**************** SPOILER WARNING **********************************
Anyhow it's a story about Donald that wants to shoot an elk but a cow
that wants to be an elk always interferes with the hunt. The weird
humour when Donald drags cows and elks around and specifically when he
tells an elk to stay there while he gets his gun to shoot it I find
wonderfully absurd. I doubt very much that this story ever will be
reprinted by Egmont since the hunting theme and the actul intent to
shoot the elk to eat it.

So he wrote books, without illustrating them?
Nobody ever interviewed him then?
I´m trying to collect all little bits of info to an article for my fanzine.

Hi, Timo
Your article about Gil Turner seems to be interesting. With Alberto
Becattini we were planning to write one (introducing the only story with DD
he made), possibly for Zio Paperone. But nothing of similar in 2001 shall
happen. Maybe the next y'r!
> Nobody ever interviewed him then?
No, if Mike Barrier didn't do it when Gil was still alive. I'm not sure, but
maybe there was an idea to interview his widow.
> Thanks, Luca and Steven, for the help!
If you need 'em, when I've a little time (a very hard thing, indeed) I can
check the different characters he made for ACG.
Cheers

I discovered your list on Friday, and have spent several happy hours this weekend browsing through it.
I read that U$ 179 have been sold for $1275, and that WDC 480 was considered just as rare.
I have a copy of WDC 480 and 17 other WDC and U$ issues from the same period. Condition FN or VG+. Can anyone give me some advice about how to get in touch with people who might be interested in buying these comics - or trading them for Dell issues or Gladstone albums?
