I took everyone's advice and over the past few weeks i have read several
uncle scrooge and uncle scrooge adventure comics and I saw something that
made me wonder. The book,"The Life and Times of Scrooge Mcduck" has 12 parts
i believe on thestory of his life. There are also twelve comic books of the
story of his life with the same cover as the chapters of the book (I don't
own the book I just noticed it off a web site) The point is that I was
wondering if the comic books are better or the same as the book because if I
can get the twelve comic books which I can than I don't need to get the book
anymore. I was just curious to see if anybody knew what the difference is
before I get them.

It sounds to me like the book you're referring to _is_ the twelve issues of
Lo$, published in a convenient package. That's a fairly common practice
with limited comic series these days -- Marv Wolfman's _Crisis on Infinite
Earths_, for example, is now available as a single book.
I'd get the anthology, myself -- easier to keep track of, more resistant to
damage.

Hi! Thank you!
The story you didn't find, with the duck doctor, is one where Donald is pyromaniac.
I wanted to know the name of a town: in WDCS 72, Huey, Dewey and Louie walk along a railroad to a city... I think they say its name page 6, panel 5
About the Magenta Stamp, the website is maybe french, becausen a picture of this stamp is given in Picsou Magasine 304, May ' 97, but I dunno.

Nope. The contents of the book is exactly as in the comics, but the comics
are *much* cheaper!
So, Candico: no need to buy an expensive book: the 12 comics will do!
BTW, there are also 4 softcover albums with the same 12 stories. Maybe these
albums are even less expensive than the comics - I don't know. In any case:
the contents is the same!

That's the one in which I found the doctor I wrote you about. But I browsed
through it
in a hurry when I replied and skipped the page with the doctor you were
asking about:
p 3, panel 3, the Doctor's name is unknown; on the diploma, part of the
word is masked
by the balloon's tail: "School of quac*ry"-- "quackery"?
One of my favorite stories, so I shouldn't have missed this doctor.

All this talk about classifying Disney comics characters according to
race, reminded me of a comic book that I read in Greece something like
thirty years ago [ :( ], where the characters appeared to be rip-offs of
Uncle Scrooge and the other ducks, except that their skin was black. Does
anyone have any idea what this might have been?

Hello everyone!
I've finally been able to update "Mouse & Ducks"!
Nothing much, though, I'm afraid. Mainly invisible updates--
broken (internal) links, typos, ...
I cropped the "no-limit adding machine" scan and added a
link to it in the "Money Bin" article of the "Who's Who".
New section: "The Treasure Chest"! There you will find
wallpapers, covers, scans, ...
First item: a 1024*768 scan of "Halloween in Duckburg"!
More to come...

In my copy of the story published in the 1978 book DONALD DUCK - BEST
COMICS the collector's name is Philo T. Ellic, and between British
Guiana and Duckburg Susiebelle Swan lived in Mudhen, Ohio and Webfoot,
Oregon respectively.
Keep in mind that I've noticed that details such as these sometimes
differ among different publications.
I don't have any information on the other story you asked about.

Flipism on radio
Message 14 -
2001-03-01 at 23:41:37
I was interviewed some days ago by "Radio Nova" in Oslo,
after my "popular science" lecture at the University of Oslo
about mathematics in Duckburg. This resulted in a ten minute
report/interview/montage, which was aired on Monday (?).
I didn't have a chance to listen to this myself, but I
was curious to understand that the reporter, after our
conversation, had made a "dramatisation" of the "flipism" topic.
In my lecture I spent a couple of minutes on the "flipism"
(WD 149, 1953), and noted that it preceded "The Dice Man"
of Luke Rhinehart Jr. (1971) ["If that die has a one faced up,
I'm going downstairs to rape Arlene", etc. etc.].
I also pointed out that a random walk process on a two-dimensional
grid is recurrent, that is, the probability of Donald sooner
or later encountering the precise address of the author
of the ill-fated book on flipism, or, for that matter, the
precise location of April-May-June, is actually 1.

Goofy questions
Message 15 -
2001-03-01 at 23:55:02
I've been asked to write a short article on Super-Goof.
A couple of questions, to the knowledgeable out there.
I am grateful for answers & pointers.
1. In which story (or stories?) is it made clear that
Goofy (not Super-Goof) has an uncanny _sense of smelling_?
I think it's a Paul Murry from around 1960.
2. I understand that even the most clever detective of
Duckburg, who is a personal friend of S.G., has not
found S.G.'s secret identity. Are there S-G stories
where someone, Mickey or others, at least are close to,
or perhaps interested in, Super-Goof's identity?
