Many thanks to Harry and Steven for the very
interesting information about wdc 550 and John
Stanley. Thanks for checking out the database
Harry...I can never get it to work properly, probably
due to my own incompetence...I will have to look out
for that issue...

I am fascinated to hear that Stanley wrote for Woody
Woodpecker comics. Steven: would you have any idea
roughly when he was writing that?

I can not but think of Uncle Scrooge's fame in his home town of Duckburg,
and not compare it to that of Don Rosa's (fame) in Louisville.
Though Don does not have a money bin, he does have a very impressive
home surrounded by extensive land and fencing (no booby traps that I know
of). He is a recluse, in his own right, but still has his close "family" and
friends.
He walks the streets of Duckburg, er..Louisville.. when he goes to the Public
Library for FREE references on a story he is writing. People do NOT know him.
The same is true for the most part when he walks around conventions in the
U.S. He occaisionally is greeted by a few people, often Europeans are more
likely to say hello. Like Scrooge, I think Don likes it this way. Both are
able to control their situations.
Though Don does not have a money bin, he does have his stored up
treasures, and he is constatntly seeking more (aren't we all). He does have
that same Midas touch, in that he can create wealth ( by drawing and writing
a new story). They both like to travel, and both have many objects from
early in their lives. ( I do not think Don still has his first Dime, but you
never know!)
Both are very well versed on History, and can relate experiences they have
had, while traveling. Both are self-made. I am sure I could think of other
similarites, but I will stop before I make Don embarrassed.
Certainly there are SOME differences, Don is Married, and does not have
any enemies, well, not many! In my eyes, they are both human, and both
friends.
I have been a fan and friend of Uncle Scrooge for more than 40 years, and of
Don Rosa, for 14.

I don't know if it falls within the scope of the investigation,
but this month's Egmont pocket (#241 in Denmark and #283 in Germany,
titled along the lines of "Masque of the Mardi Gras" from a story
by list member Dave Rawson) has a story where Magica De Spell goes
to parallel dimensions to swipe a lucky dime or two.

One of the Scrooges she meets is generous, married to Brigitta and
on the best terms with the Magica of his dimension; the other doesn't
even know of a Magica and is unprepared for her "magic attack".

Without spoiling too much I'll reveal that while the two Scrooges
pose no difficulties, Magica is her own worst enemy. :-)

The story is titled "Amelia e le due numero 1". It first appeared in
Topolino #2318 last May, was written by Antonella Pandini and nicely
drawn by Alessia Martusciello. (Interestingly enough both women, if
my knowledge of Italian first names serves me right.)

I think I saw it a long time ago.
Anyway: a comic book version of the cartoon (writer unknown;
art by Tony Strobl; 14 pages) was reprinted in Gladstone's
U$A 26 (May 1994)-- the one with "Back to the Klondike" and
one of these beautiful painted covers.

Thanks to various list contributors who shared their wisdom
and knowledge recently regarding questions I asked about
Goofy and his alter super ego. But *one* of my questions
has remained unanswered. So here's another chance of showing
off your Disney-Mickey-Goofy-Murry knowledge:

I recall a Murry (?) story which must have been issued in
Norway around the mid-sixties, where a point is being made
of Goofy's sense of smell. It is so extraordinary that it
surely can match Smilla's sense of snow. In which story
or stories does Goofy display this ability?

(I don't have a MM #28-and-upwards collection, really,
so I cannot check myself.)

Henrique Regalo wrotte:

>me.

Oi Henrique!

I don't have much brazilian comics from the 60's,...and nothign from the 50's!!! But I think I can respond it to you!
The first south american Disney artist is Luis Destuet, he came from Argentina to teach brazilian artists to work on the "Disney style". One of then is ?lvaro de Moya, that made some Mickey and Pato Donald covers durign the 50's.

After many years, Abril began to writte and draw brazilian Disney comics, with the begin of the Z? Carioca comic in 1961. The first brazilian drawer is Jorge Kato, and the writters are Claudio de Souza and Alberto Maduar. The second artist to do Z? Carioca stuff is Waldyr Igayara. He does the complete work, from the story to the ink. On his begin, he made some co-production with Kato, and durign some time, with Izomar Camargo Guilherme, the third brazilian drawer. After this, Abril have a production center, and many artists entered on the production.

That's it! I hope I was able to anser your question, but if I wasn't, ask more!!!
Fernando!

Yes, I know anything about this. On January 23, I wrote to DCML:

S?ren Krarup Olesen discusses Fethry, and I agree with
may of his comments. This is to remind some of you and inform
those who didn't know that Fethry has had a recent
pseudo-comeback, in the "Finally Back!" series which is issued
by Egmont in Norway and Sweden but not in Denmark.
These are special 100 page magazines with 3-page introductions
written for the occasion. This necessarily somewhat short
series has/will have these issues:

Vol. 1: Fethry Duck
Vol. 2: Moby Duck
Vol. 3: Ludwig von Drake
Vol. 4: Rockerduck [to appear]
Vol. 5: Super Goof [to appear]

It might be stopped after that, unless they go for April-May-June
(to whom Benjamin Britten wrote a beautiful song!) or other
"Second Division" characters.
