>Thank you! But where did you see it?

I bought Picsou at "The earthquake" (a store in
London)!
(Normally, I would never expect to find Disney comics
here).

An idea
I'd love to see something with Donald as a kid. If you
like the idea. Maybe you can suggest something to
Picsou for another special issue.

Thank you so much for being on this list. It is so
great to get in touch with you, Don, in such public
place.

Kenneth is not the only one who has been part of this discussion.
I have been guilty, too, shamefully proving it with this email. :-)

Also, it's rather difficult to end a discussion when you add some
criticism yourself. I think that, if one adds criticism, they can't
ask for the discussion being ended because everyone has
(or should have) the right to defend himself/herself.

Best wishes,

Flaming? I hope you meant to use another word. What really hurts is the fact that people think being behind a computer allows them to behave however they like.
There was nothing wrong with the attitude in Kenneth's first message to this list. The only bad attitude I've seen on this list lately are the low-down comments about Kenneth's site. If you think a guy is well-dressed you say so, and if you dislike his taste in clothes you keep quiet. It's common sense -- or so I thought.

It's great to hear about the Don Rosa Archives! As far as I know, there
were five Pertwillaby Papers serials: two done for Rosa's college newspaper
(the first reprinted in COLLECTOR'S DREAM, the second in ROCKET'S
BLAST/COMICOLLECTOR) and three more original ones serialized in RBCC (the
last incomplete). A collection of all five, particularly including a
concluding chapter to the last ("Knighttime") would be wonderful! I've got
the three collections of CAPTAIN KENTUCKY (which I bought from Don himself at
a con), but a collection of that would be excellent too, though in
Europe...even more than in America...there'd probably have to be footnotes to
explain the local references. (How many Europeans, or even Americans outside
Kentucky, would know who Barry Bingham, Jr. or J. Fred Frogg were?)

Aside from those two strips (and of course his Disney stories) the only
Rosa work I know of was "Information Center," a column devoted to comics
questions and answers originally done for RBCC and then for other fanzines i
ncluding COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE, THE COMIC READER, and AMAZING HEROES. They'd
definitely be worth reprinting, especially the early ones which contain Rosa
cartoons, although the later ones used a lot fewer of them.

Donald's dog may have been called "Fido" in some countries, but in
America he was "Bolivar," at least originally. He was a big St. Bernard who
originally appeared in the DONALD DUCK newspaper strip (supposedly modeled on
artist Al Taliaferro's own dog), and brought into the comic books by Carl
Barks. In later years his name became "Bornworthy," supposedly because some
South American licensees considered it demeaning to give the name of one of
the greatest heroes of their continent to a dog...though, again, why they
didn't simply change the dog's name themselves (as, judging from "Fido,"
other countries did), I don't know. Aside from Bolivar, the only dog I know
of who regularly appeared in the Duck stories was the bloodhound General
Snozzle, the "Official Hound" of Huey, Dewey and Louie's troop of Junior
Woodchucks. (And a few Donald Duck cartoons teamed him up with Disney's most
famous bloodhound of all, Pluto...but he was and is generally considered to
be Mickey's dog, not Donald's.)

> Flaming? I hope you meant to use another word.

I did mean it.
And let me add that if you don't tell a person that his site plainly sucks
he'll never realize and never do anything to improve it. Do you want
thoundands of Frontpage-made sites on the web? I don't think any
intelligent person in the world might want such thing. It takes half a day
to study HTML, is this pretending too much?
Actually, this should have been said to him privately rather than on the
list, that might be true, so that he could not possibly take any offence,
as he did. I just hope he has realized that he was wrong and that he's
studying some HTML. Sure if he keeps saying to each newcomer "Oh, I was
treated so baad, when I arrived here" is not a good sign.
