Need a Danish translator!
Message 317 -

That message title sums it up. We need a Danish translator (a *native
Dane*, to avoid any chance of errors) who is willing to translate a list of
labels off our Money Bin blueprints into good, solid Danish. We are
personally producing the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish versions of these
plans in order to avoid the errors that I would anticipate if we let it go
through the normal Egmont production channels. The first two are completed,
but we still need a Danish version.
Would a Dane willing to help please reply by private mail? Thanks!
(While we're at it, is there anyone on the list in Iceland? We had not
really considered producing a version for Iceland because I see the
Icelandic Donald weekly and, frankly, it's so fraught with mindless
blunders that I will be embarrassed if our blueprints even appear in the
magazine. My hope is that when they see all the translating that the
blueprints would require, the Iceland editors will simply skip it and
reprint a "Lil' Hiawatha" story instead. But... if there is an Icelander
out there who can help us, please drop me a line.)

You are actually more right than you may think.
I think it was in the middle of the 80'es that an astronomist who read
Barks, had an astroid (? I'm not sure of the spelling) named after Barks.
WE can look up at this astroid and imagine Carl sitting on that one, with

In Swedish there are four ways of making the genitive:
1.) Adding -s, e.g. sak <-> saks (thing <-> thing's)
2.) If the word ends with -s, add an apostrophe, e.g. buss <-> buss' (bus
<-> bus's)
3.) If it is a Latin name ending with -us, we do it the Latin way. E.g.
Stagnelius <-> Stagnelii (Swedish authour)
4.) If it is a city/town/village name, the nominative and genitive are
identical. E.g. Norrt?lje <-> Norrt?lje

I hate to admit it, but reading the tributes on Carl's 100th brought tears to my eyes. As a close friend and confidante it brought back many memories of this kind, gentle, thoughtful and very private person. I don't believe that his grandchildren subscribe to this letter. I will make an effort to copy, paste and forward these kind remarks to his closest relatives. Thanks also to Luis Felipe of Brazil who sent his poetic endeavor and to the many for whom I have in the past been a go-between when they wanted e-mail messages to reach Carl.

Yes I know that. Here's what Komix wrote:
[Komix #23, May 1990]
-ASTEROID NAMED CARL BARKS!-
Minor Planet 7621
January 28, 1983
(2730) Barks = 1981 QH
And here's the letter Peter Thomas sent to Carl Barks:
[Translation from Komix]
February 4, 1983
"Dear Mr. Barks
Many duckfans of our department had the idea to gave
your name to an asteroid. Your stories
about asteroids, earth and other strange places was
making me happy for many years and I
thought it'll be a good idea to name an asteroid
"Barks". It was an easy job: Ted Bowell,
who is searching for asteroids, gave us the permition
for that action.
The asteroid (2730) "Barks" has diameter around 10km
and he's making a full rotation
around the Sun every 4,5 years, 350-400.000.000km far
from the Sun. We don't know
many things about the asteroid, but maybe one day
we'll have more info about it.

I don't know what the world would have been like if Carl Barks hadn't been
born. But for me (and millions of others) it certainly would have been a
drearier place. The greatest tribute to Carl is that his work will endure and
continue to delight future generations. That's quite a legacy, but then Carl
was quite a man.

I normally just lurk on this list, but I couldn't stand by and see all
these people giving their tribute to Carl Barks without saying something
for myself...
I can't say when I first noticed that there was some stories that were
sticking out from the rest, but I think it was around the time when the
first Norwegian "Jubileumsbok" came out... I think I was 10 at the time,
and had a hard time persuading my parents to start subscribing to the
books, too hard actually as I'm missing three books. A few years later I
managed to start the subscription on my own, and today I'm buying all
the duck material I can get my hands on (Getting expensive too..;) in
order to read all the great stuff that's out there.
Carl Barks have made most of the stories I remember from when I was 10,
and I feel a special joy whenever I dig up something where one of those
stories are printed.
Thank you, Unca Carl!
PS. I got my signed copies of The DR archives today, and I'm looking
forward to reading them... I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person to
meet you Don, but I had to coach my basketball team. (Bah... I wish the
game could have been some other time! :)

I've seen Don when he was a guest at 3
Wondercon conventions in Oakland, Cali-
fornia. It would be very hard to find
a better guest or a better representa-
tive of duck comics.
Don is at his table all day every day
(except when he's a speaker on a panel),
without taking any breaks. He doesn't
even take a break to eat lunch!
He is always more than willing to auto-
graph your items, to talk with you,
and to discuss any story down to the
smallest detail.
The trip from his home to Oakland takes
a whole day. The return trip takes
another day. The convention doesn't
pay artists/writers an appearance fee,
as it does movie/t.v. stars. There are
very few real duck fans in this area.
So, there doesn't seem to be many re-
wards for Don to attend. Except maybe
to put smiles on kids, to possibly
create a lifelong duck fan or two, to
see a few old friends, and maybe even
purchase a comic book!
