Brief report now; more details might come in a later mail from me:
Don Rosa is soon landing at Gardermoen, and will be in Oslo until
Sunday. He has two hats for this occasion: an Egmont one, primarily
in connection with the "Barks de Lux" book that is being launched
these days, close to the Barks 100 occasion; and his own
Lance Pertwillaby one. His two books "The Don Rosa Archives I & II",
. Captain Kentucky
. The Pertwillaby Papers
have their World Launch this week in the city of Oslo.
More specifically, there is a book signing event at "Tronsmo Books
and Comics" on Saturday, from 12:00 to 16:00. He would appreciate
meeting friends of the DCML there.
I will also report about a press conference staged by Egmont
taking place tomorrow (Wednesday) at the History Museum.
Don and ?ystein S?rensen, professor of history and a frequent
writer of articles and prefaces on comics, are among those
placed in a "panel". S?rensen has also written a preface in the
Captain Kentucky book (the sister preface in the Pertwillaby Papers
book is written by me). The PP & CK books also have specially
written prefaces by Don.
Very soon there will be a page on the internet taking any
interested person, from Timbouktoo to Andes and Herringtail,
to the publishing firm Gazette Bok (a sub-group of Gazette, Oslo)
with information about how to view the books, read about them,
and how to actually buy them. This is being polished at the moment.
More later ...

Hmm. Now I even more would like to see those stories! Why they were omitted
in scandinavia BTW? Almost all other MM serials from WDC&S were printed even
in here Finland.
Maybe there might be some camp-values in them...??

> I don't think Moby and Dimwitty are related to Donald...
Actually, in the TV Cartoon "Pacifically Peeking" in which Moby Duck was
introduced (just shortly after appearing in his first comicbook story in
1967) he was indeed introduced as a relative of Donald's... I just can't
remember if it was as a distant cousin or another Uncle... I think it was
as a cousin. DimWitty, on the other hand, I'm not sure if he was introduced
as a relative or not.

Shamrock has reappeared in some Brazilian comic stories as well (he is
called Trevinho in Brazil). One such story is "O Trevinho da sorte"
(B770112) from DISNEY ESPECIAL #74.

That would be Buckaroo "Buck" Duck. See:
http://www.jps.net/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/buck.html
I've read somewhere that he, too, is supposed to be a relative of Donald's
but I can't find a source. Buck has appeared several times, starting with
the tale you mentioned, and then in his very own stories without Donald
and the Nephews.

Mickey: a boring character?

(Sorry, I forgot to switch to "Plain Text" in the previous
message. I think I've found a way to avoid confusions now)
As regards Mickey, I cannot identify the artists, but it is true that
in the "Mickey Parade" stories (then in "Le Journal de Mickey"),
his stories were much less enjoyable than the ducks'. It's not that
the stories were boring: there were nice ideas. It's not exactly that
Mickey was "boring" either. He was just plain obnoxious. I really
did not like (OK, hated) his know-it-all smirk.
The duck stories, however, I've always enjoyed, generally.
The Gottfredson ones stand apart: they are great. The Murry ones
have a certain charm.
This is just a matter of taste, naturally. But still, it seems to be
quite a common taste: readers usually prefer the duck stories--
do you know many site dedicated to the Mickey comics?
Now, how can this be accounted for? It must have to do with the character
and the way he has evolved. The Mickey of "The Prince and the Pauper"
or "Mickey and the Beanstalk" is OK. So it's in the comics.
The ducks seem to have more potential-- whatever combination you
consider: Donald, Donald & the nephews, Donald & Scrooge & the nephews, ...
For one thing, the number of characters makes for diversity & variations:
Donald as a parental figure, Donald as Scrooge's bumbling employee,
Scrooge vs Rockerduck, ... Whereas on the other hand you can only have
Mickey and Goofy / Minnie / the police. New characters have been created,
but still.
Then of course, the ducks have flaws, whereas Mickey is conceived as
the perfect hero.
I wish I knew those famous Mickey stories by David Gerstein.
I do know a few drawn by Cesar Ferioli and like them.
But Gottfredson rules-- ie, Gottfredson / de Marris, Osborne, Walsh.

Next Tuesday will be Carl Barks's 100th birthday. I was thinking of
making a small donation in his name to leukemia research. I thought I'd
share in case anyone else wanted to do the same. Anyone know of any
websites or connections to places near where Barks lived that might be
suitable to send a check to? And for that matter, I've never made a
donation this way before, so if anyone know the proper procedure, I'd
appreciate some help.

Via this you may easily find out how to get to the "Tronsmo Books

If I've understood correctly, each of them costs 298 Norwegian Krone, which
should be equivalent to 33 dollars, more or less.

How about this one:

At least two of those were published in Greece, as well, in "Megalo Miky".
The first of those was in issue #1, and I remember having gotten mistaken
the impression at that time that "Megalo Miky", priniting this kind of
stories, would replace the regular "Miky Maous". Fortunately, neither was
the case. In any case, I rmember these stories fondly, especially the one
that Gladstone did not reprint, which involved a contraption that would
emit rays which would turn everything they touched, including people,
into diamonds.
Komix was/is offering a special reprint volume with such stories as a
premium to new subscribers.

At least two of those were published in Greece, as well, in "Megalo Miky".
The first of those was in issue #1, and I remember having gotten mistaken
the impression at that time that "Megalo Miky", priniting this kind of
stories, would replace the regular "Miky Maous". Fortunately, neither was
the case. In any case, I rmember these stories fondly, especially the one
that Gladstone did not reprint, which involved a contraption that would
emit rays which would turn everything they touched, including people,
into diamonds.
Komix was/is offering a special reprint volume with such stories as a
premium to new subscribers.
