This part of the film is also my favorite and when I saw it, a year ago, I
was thinking then to post some thoughts about its artistic style and how
perfectly matched his art with Gershwin's music and New York's lifestyle.
(I have chosen to decorate my office with a number of his lithos,including a
rare one with a "medical" theme,and "Dr" George Burns as the central
figure.)

That's who *I* got the notion from! Haynie hid his wife's name "Lois"
numerous times in his cartoons. (Actually, the main inspiration for me
*hiding* "D.U.C.K." in my art rather than simply writing it as I did in my
first few stories was the fact that if I did not *hide* it, the editors
would remove it at Di$ney's command.)

Hi
What I want to tell is something about "funny" names
in danish Duck comics.
Barks used the charecter Soapy Slick in one story,
North of the Yukon in Uncle Scrooge 59. This cherecter
has been printed in Denmark 3 times. In the weekly,
where Mr. Slick is called something that means
approximately the same (Luskhans). But in a book with
many Scrooge stories, in a 6-tier format he had
another name. (I shoould have brought the book here,
but it's at another place).
In the danish publications of Last Sled to Dawson in
1990 and 2001 The same guy is names S. Nyd which would
resemble to a guy named C. Heat in english (Only in
english there's some kind of meaning to it, but an odd
one - because he's more cold than hot...)
That is the old danish idea of a fun name for a
charecfter in DD. a doctor could be named D. Octor or
T. B. something (I made that one, but it could have
been real)
In 1993 the new translator luckily used the old name,
the more consistent one, namely Luskhans, Soapy Slick,
in chapter 8 of Lo$ which was reused in the
book-publication in 1997.
Nah, I can't think of a good april fool's joke to give
to you in the end of this mail, I don't want to fool
you as good as I was fooled last year when Kriton told
about an issue of Komix publishing some Rosa-story
about greece or something.
But it's a fact that the Coin is coming out here in
the week we enter (tomorrow or today depending on what
you believe).

Komix #154
Message 9 -
2001-04-02 at 08:11:54
Here's what's in this month's issue of Komix:
* Cover by Don Gun (sp?). I have put a scan in
http://dias.cti.gr/~kyrimis/pics/komix154.jpg
* A two-page letters column, half of which is taken over by what is
probably an April Fools' day hoax, a slightly flawed letter advocating
writing Greek using only capital Roman characters. In the introduction
to the letters column they even suggest putting this issue in our money
bin, for reasons that will be disclosed in the next issue! There is
also a correction regarding Don's interview in issue #150, where it
appeared that Don said that Barks did not like love comics. They now
admit that they mistranslated "comic books" as "comics". You'll have
to wait for the full translation till next month.
* A two page "news of Komix" column. Notable items: the publication of the
latest chapter of the Life and Times in Picsou Magazine #349, and the
negotiations between Komix and Sergio Aragones to have his latest
stories printed. (I wonder if the latter is a second April Fools'
day hoax.)
* Don's "Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies". Their translation seems to
be based on Don's original script, and not on the Gladstone version,
where they made a few modifications in the page before last. The Greek
title of the story means something like "a 0.10 drachma coin's worth of
youth", which is a direct reference to a Greek movie of the early 1960s,
titled "a 0.05 drachma coin's worth of youth". (This was a comedy, not
the classic film based on the Faust legend, which I may have mentioned
elsewhere. In any case, they can't go wrong by using a film reference
in the title, even if it is to a film that Don has never seen.)
* A two-page article titled "unknown pages, new adventures", subtitled
"the life and times of Scrooge McDuck: the lost episodes". According
to this article, they will be printing five of the "lost episodes",
one every two months, in chronological order: "Of Ducks, Dimes and
Destinies", "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark", the "Pizen Bluff"
story whose title I can't remember off-hand, "The Dutchman's Secret",
and "Hearts of the Yukon". There is no mention of the Panama story,
about which they talk in their news column. (Or is it one of the
above five?)
* "Mickey and the Beanstalk" (MMOS 157), drawn by Harvey Eisenberg.
* A one-page article titled "Mickey in the land of fairy tales", subtitled
"from the big screen to comic panels".

The name of the editor-in-chief in Holland (who worked there for more than
25 years) is T. Roep, which can be translated as J. Unk or G. Arbage...

It was about Komix printing a story based on Barks' "Malayalaya" cover,
written by Don Rosa and drawn by Vic Lockman! For those who missed it,
the fake cover that I made to go with the hoax is still available at

Or, judging from the similarity, T. Ripe, perhaps?
Although nothing comes to mind off-hand, I'm certain that Barks used
such names as the names of the authors of the various books Donald is
reading at the beginning of several stories.
And then there's the famous O.S.O. Safe company!

It might be typical both danish and dutch, or typical european disney
comics. I don't know how much Barks used it.
It's a fact that eg. the shorts for the JW generals and such have to mean
something both as short and as explained in a caption. That's some task
for the translators.

Interesting.
I don't believe that is what his editing is, is it? Junk or garbage? I
believe the ducth weekly, apart from the fact that they don't print Rosa,
is one of the best weeklies we have in europe. It is one of the few which
has a letter's column in every mag, and it publishes stories by Heymans,
Jippes, Milton and more.
About the letter column in DD Weekblad, I'm not that strong in dutch, but
am I not right when I claim that most of the letters are about things the
readers experienced in dayly life or vactaions and such. They are that
more than questions about stories or such, as would be in eg. the greek
magazine Komix' letter columns. ?
I wasn't really in the mood for joking yesterday. i sometimes get a little
depressed when packages I know should be coming haven't done so yet. Today
I'm flying. There's no school, and the postman left a note that the set
from Tronsmo with Don's LP and CK-books are at the post house for me to
fecth at 3 pm. Yippeee! I'm notgoing to gett any sleep this evening!

I may be mistaken, but I understood differently their suggestion of putting
KOMIX #154 in our money bin: if you look carefully, you'll notice a second
April
Fool's joke; namely, a cover price for that issue of 295 Euro!
Cheers,

The scans of the xmas drawings are indeed a bit messed up (because of the
shiny underground). I think I'll try to make photographs of them with a
digital camera. That may work better than a scanner.
