A website about the Dutch "Donald Duck". There is also a nice sample of
Carol Voges artwork. 8-)

It's in the Dutch language only. But the pictures may be interesting for
non-Dutch too.

Barks worked for Bambi. Don´t know about the unit. None of those guys on the
picture doesn´t look like Barks to me, and the artwork doesn´t also (IMO).

You didn't know who exactly you were replying to. So, what you did was
attacking intentions as you *thought* they were - without mentioning
those intentions you were thinking of. That made the anger in your
message rather unclear (at least to me), so that's why I asked you
about it.

To anyone who might want to know, my name is Craig and my interest for
Scrooge is purely just an interest, I have no intention of making any website
using this kind of information. I am just very interested in his past and I
saw a timeline of his life and it mentioned the depression so I was a little
curious about it. I am moving soon and I have recently found a comic book
store with a variety of Uncle Scrooge and Uncle Scrooge Adventure comics I
have one more question that I was hoping someone would know. This might be
expeted, but what comic (either Uncle Scrooge Adventure or Uncle Scrooge or
anything) contains the most history on Scrooge's past. This can be one
liners like him saying "I remeber when I... or this reminds me of my days
when I.... like US #20 has three lines I think of him mentioning things he
has done in his past. Or if anyone knows any comics just with whole stories
with his past, I would like it very much and again for purely interest.
Thank you very much for anyone who can advise me which comics are good.

I?ve enjoyed the discussion of Donald Duck?s participation in World War
II. While the comics referred to the war only tangentially, we are still
left with many striking images from the cartoon shorts and other
propaganda efforts of the Disney studio. The most prominent example is
the unique character insignia created at the request of numerous
military units. Donald himself became the belligerent mascot for more
than 200 outfits. To help visualize this period, I?ve posted a number of
illustrations:
http://www.snap-pop.bigstep.com/
I?ll continue to add images that I?ve gathered from different sources
after giving them a more consistent look. If anyone finds that the web
page loads too slowly, I can make some adjustments. If the page isn?t
accessible at all, it?s probably due to the lag time required for a new
site to make its way around the internet. Just try it again tomorrow.
Meanwhile- for an entertaining and informative treatment of Walt
Disney?s involvement in the war, I would recommend Disney Dons Dogtags:
The Best of Disney Military Insignia From World War II, by Walton Rawls
(1992, Abbeville Press).

Hello all,
I seem to remember reading a poem on this mailinglist written by Barks some
time ago. As I understood it he spoke of friendship, tolerance, trust and
peace.
Nice to see that all those who were so eager to express their sorrow when
he was gone are keeping up with his ideals by nitpicking others writing,
webpages and questioning their motives for asking questions about our beloved
U$ & Co.
It's nice to see that this mailinglist is a friendly place where the only
requirement is an honest interest in disney comics (no degree in oxford
english etc.)
just a fan who believes in kindness of humankind (=someone deprived of any
common sense, apparently),

Hello everyone, I'm one of those list lurkers that
sometimes get mentioned but only because I've never
really had anything constructive to add to the
coversation. Anyway, regarding war references, the
Barks story from WDCS 64 has one of the nephews saying
that Donald has 40 pounds of sugar hidden in the
garage. Sounds like a reference to rationing and
hoarding. Sadly, this not only places Donald at home
during the war but also exposes him as a hoarder.
Take care,

I didn't see that poem. I wish I had. But I somehow doubt Unca Carl
would've advocated Peace At Any Cost.
I haven't really seen anyone picking nits about writing -- just demanding
that people's writing be sufficiently literate so as to be understood. Do
you really think it dishonors Barks' memory to say that a badly-designed
webpage (whose author shows no interest in learning HTML) is badly-designed?
There is a distinction between tolerance and silence about substandard
work. We've had instances of Disney-artist-bashing, and if they aren't
sacrosanct on this list, why should a mere webpage be above reproach?

You'll get lots of replies on this one, and most of them will suggest what
I'm about to.
Go to that comics store and ask for any of the "Life of Scrooge" issues
written and illustrated by Don Rosa, especially the 4 quality-bound
compilation books. If the store doesn't have them, the manager can order
them for you. You will not only have the first 12 stories in that series
which give lots of details of Scrooge's ascent from poor Scottish laddie to
the Richest Man in the World, but there are plenty of text articles culled
form Don's own research into Scrooge's "past."
That will give you a healthy start on one of the most enjoyable excursions
in the world of comics. Then come back here for any bits of "history" that
may seem to have been missed. We'll be glad to help.

I see that you actually directly asked me for an answer to your questions
in your previous message, so I'll answer you again as in the past.
I think what was puzzling Dan and what's been puzzling me about your odd
questions is that you keep asking the same ones over and over no matter how
many times we answer. Also, it seems evident that you have never read any
$crooge or Disney comics -- this is implied by the fact you seem to have
read your first one last week (long after your first questions) and were
surprised to see that HD&L do not live with Uncle $crooge, something which
is rather clear in virtually every Duck story ever printed (but which is
not shown accurately on the "DuckTales" TV series). I certainly *applaud*
your interest in $crooge's past, but it seems like you first need an
interest in his comic book stories in general, or what's the point?
But the main thing that puzzles *especially* me is that, before you joined
this ML, you were sending these same questions to Dan and to me months ago
through Dan's "$crooge McDuck website" (where my e-mail address is listed
with his). At that time we tried to be as helpful as we could be, clearly
explained that there has never actually been a detailed history of
$crooge's past life, and that I constructed my entire "Life of $crooge"
series merely
from tiny snips of facts spread out through the dialogue in many old tales.
And if you wanted to learn about those facts, all you needed to do was read
the website that you already were visiting where ALL of these references
were clearly listed one by one -- and for some reason that's all you seemed
to want was a list. But we also encouraged you to read the *comics
themselves*. Every single one of the original story titles and original
issue
numbers are all listed carefully and completely on Dan's website, and we
even told you of places you could buy all of these issues, such as the
Hamilton website and eBay (especially the latter where the series is
constantly being offered in sets or individually at very low prices).
I am naturally pleased to see someone with as great an interest in
$crooge's (imaginary!) past as I have, but what more can we do for you? Why
keep asking others the same questions that we've already given you the most
complete possible answers to?

I shall refrain to comment on the quality of the artwork, for which the
"big name" is to me insufficient compensation.
While I do not recognize the image as being anything familiar, I can at
least say that it was extremely rare for the comic books to feature Mickey
and Donald in the same story, so it looks unlikely that this might have
been the source. Disney merchandise (like this mythical bubble gum wrapper,
but anything else from mugs to T-shirts would have been equally suitable)
is more likely, being (as it is) produced by people who know very little
about the characters beyond their graphical aspect.
I am forwarding this message to a list of people interested in Disney
comics, whence others might send you further observations.

I shall refrain to comment on the quality of the artwork, for which the
"big name" is to me insufficient compensation.
While I do not recognize the image as being anything familiar, I can at
least say that it was extremely rare for the comic books to feature Mickey
and Donald in the same story, so it looks unlikely that this might have
been the source. Disney merchandise (like this mythical bubble gum wrapper,
but anything else from mugs to T-shirts would have been equally suitable)
is more likely, being (as it is) produced by people who know very little
about the characters beyond their graphical aspect.
I am forwarding this message to a list of people interested in Disney
comics, whence others might send you further observations.
