Hello I have not been in touch to what is happening with disney comics for a
while can any one tell me when will the new publisher start printing?
The last I heard which was a long time ago now is that Gemstone publishing
was makeing a deal with disney to start printing disney comics again.
Can any one give me a update to what has happend since then?
I guess I will have to be happy with old comics till they start again.

Peace at any cost? This isn't Kosovo. I wasn't launching NATO operation
to calm down a bloodbath. Those were things (friendship, tolerance, trust
and peace) *I* read from Barks' poem (from between the lines, more or less).

You can say something is badly designed if it is. In this case I believe
is more of question of inexperience. But that wasn't my point. Look at the
next comment.
I don't know what dishonours Barks' memory and that wasn't my point. I just
hoped to feel some of the warmth on this ML that I felt reading his poem.

And what comes to the understandability of mails I had no problem reading
Kenneth's mail even though my own english is not all that wonderful. So
I don't understand how could you have a problem with it?
We should tolerate less perfect mails here; many of the contributors of
this ML are not native english speakers and their english is not necessarilly
very good. But they still might have lot of interesting things to say.

>sacrosanct on this list, why should a mere webpage be above reproach?

And there is a distinction between actual critic and chewing someone's head
off. I'm not advocating silence. That's probably the root of all problems.
And that's why I de-lurked and opened my mouth. What I'm trying to say is
that less aggressive approach usually works better. If it hade been used
in this conversation I wouldn't have to be typing now.

BTW. I owe an apology to Dan Shane though I didn't mean to make a direct
comment about his answer to Craig. After reading Don Rosa's post on #402
I realised what he was talking about. But without that information it just
looked rude.

And another thing. I don't remember if I have introduced myself on this
list so I'll do it now.

My name is Teemu Merikumpu. I'm finnish and (therefore :-) I like disney
comics. I think my two favourite characters are U$ and DD. Now what else.
I'm a student. I've been reading disney comics since I was 5. I'm not a
collector but just a fan. I read a comic book a couple of times and if I
like I'll save it. If not it'll eventually get lost. I've been lurking on
this list for a year or two now, I guess. The reason I like this list is
that here I can read things about the comics I like and then pick up the
comic that was just discussed and read it again from a different point of
view.
Well, I guess that it. Sorry, that I usually don't have much to contribute
but I'll help if I can.

best wishes to all,
Teemu

That's great! You must be very proud now, don't you?
:)
What they will use as a stamp? the cover of the story
or some panels maybe?

I see at least two Rosa-illustrations on those nice
stamps. I shouldn't wonder if Don wont be paid a cent,
even if they publish 100.000 or something of the
stamps? Or maybe again: we're talking finland...
they're mostly nicer, at helsinki media.

Someone sent me a scan of a preliminary pencil drawing to Barks' oil
"Christmas for Shacktown". I think this must be "Gifts For Shacktown"
(75-25) instead, because, as far as I know, this is the only painting
with the Shacktown design.

Interestingly, this layout is in landscape format, while the painting
is in portrait format. It's approximately 16" x 20". The image was made
by pasting 4 separate scans together, thus the fuzziness.

You can find it at:
"http://www.seriesam.com/barks/art_dpr.htm#75-25r"

As this page has become terribly slow (needing a better layout),
you may prefer to go to the large picture directly at:
"http://www.seriesam.com/barks/dpr_shacktown.jpg" (about 355kB)

I was asked the following question:

"Would you have an estimate of the market value of this piece?"

As I don't know anything about the value of original Barks art,
I hope someone can help me out answering this question.

Best wishes,

--- Daniel

Parts of panels from the Kalevala story. I was told it was a picture of
Vainemoinen and the scene of the Monster on the Helsinki Cathedral dome
with Donald. But I didn't know anything about these stamps until the same
time you folks did. I just found out yesterday.

Oh, they are VERY nice at Helsinki Media!!!! But no, it's still the same
deal, it's not in HMC's power to change the Disney policy. They can't help
it. Any royalties for the use of my work always go to Disney.
But I think it's enough for me that my stories are so famous in Finland
that the government issued postage stamps of my work in their AKU ANKKA
set. That's fun! Maybe I can get ahold of a batch and sell autographed
first-day-covers or something? I should probably do stuff like that now and
then, but I never think of it, I never want to take the time off from
working on stories to try it.
