Well, it's pretty much the same deal as with the coins. It depends on what
the purpose of the usage is. The Ducks' eyes, being modeled after hoomin
bean eyes, should be white in the normal stories. The "whites" of our eyes
are not blue. However, on covers the whites are colored light blue simply
for contrast on the white Duck face -- it looks more... colorful (!) and
more eye-catching for a cover, the *main* purpose of the cover being to
attract attention on a newsstand. It's the same reason that DD and HDL are
dressed in solid black shirts in the stories, but wear blue and green and
red on covers and in paintings, as with coin colors and Bin contents.
(Where did I get "hoomin bean"? That's what LuLu Moppet useta' say, I
think.)

I guess I am one of those people that will argue with you about it.
Mickey Mouse Uncle Scrooge Goofy Donald Duck and Pluto.
Have all been in the same story's many times.
It depended on the cartoonist (or writer).
I have a story that hints that Goofy and Uncle scrooge live in the same
town.
I will dig deeper but I am sure there are more of story's than I can count
in which the Ducks talk of or know the people of Mickey Mouse's world.
By the way they are all made up cartoons if that is not obvious.
But they are real in a lot of peoples heads including mine.

"Mickey Mouse does not exist! Mickey Mouse is a made up character! I

Mickey Mouse appears in the cartoons/comic books read by
Donald/HDL/Gladstone/any duck and is therefor a made up character. Which
lives in the imaginary world of Mouseton, which by a mistake is translated
into "Duckburg" in Europe. Was I clear enough?"

Do you mean that if they had received my order before you visited them
(something of which I am not certain), you would have signed my copies even
though I did not pay for the privilege, having ordered the plain edition
intended for the masses? Wow!
If I got an autographed edition by mistake, I'm at a loss regarding what I
should do next:
* Get in touch with the Tronsmo book store, let them know that if anyone
called Gary complains about not getting his autographed books, he should get
in touch with me, and hope that this Gary is an honest person who does not
decide to keep both sets of books.
* Keep the books, and consider the autographs as an unexpected bonus.
* Same as above, but also change my name to Gary!

Duckburg, Mouseton, $crooge's finances et al

A lot of interesting topics since the last time I posted!
According to the Egmont scripts I've seen, Mickey and his friends are
assumed to live in Duckburg just as the Ducks do, though apparently
crossovers were discouraged. I've never had trouble with occasional
crossovers, especially since the definitive writer/artists of both characters
used them...Donald himself appeared in several of Gottfredson's Mickey
sequences (at first seeming to be no older than his early teens...but, this
being the '30's rather than the '40's, it fits in rather neatly with Don's
timeline), and Barks used several of the Mouse cast (Black Pete especially)
in some of his early Donald Duck stories. Barks probably used Pete because
Donald didn't really have any separate recurring villains at the time...at
least, unless Neighbor Jones counts. (And even he was arguably based on Pete;
he seemed to derive from a cartoon..."Trombone Trouble," IIRC...in which the
neighbor with whom Donald feuded WAS Pete.) Not until the '50's did Barks co
me up with his own recurring villains, and most of them...the Beagle Boys,
Magica deSpell, Flintheart Glomgold...were more $crooge's foes than Donald's.
Even today the Disney projects and other comics generally intermingle the
characters; I've mentioned a Mickey Mouse newspaper sequence a year or so ago
with Emil Eagle...a recurring rival of Gyro Gearloose, who's most assuredly
in the Duck universe...as the villain. Yes, I know Don doesn't care for those
stories (or for Emil, for that matter), but it does underscore the work of
Gottfredson and Barks himself to the effect that Donald and Mickey do indeed
live in the same universe, if not the same town.
Where was the name Mouseton first used? I've never seen it in a
Gottfredson strip; indeed, I've read that Gottfredson used the name
"Homeville," but I've never seen that, either. At that, both names seem a bit
ironic since both towns seem to be populated mostly by anthropomorphic dogs,
with ducks and mice in a minority. Duckburg makes sense because it was f
ounded BY a duck...Cornelius Coot...but, then again, I'm also inclined to
basically agree with Don (and Unca Carl?) to the effect that these are all
"really" people, not ducks or mice or dogs.
And Barks has repeatedly shown that $crooge owns property and businesses
all over the world, so Don is no doubt right that the Money Bin contains the
money that $crooge earned personally in cash. And that it's mostly silver.
(Which would mean that, like the gold coins of the '30's, most of it would
now be worth more for the silver content than its denomination, since most
coins now in circulation are made of cheaper metal. Then again, I know Don
doesn't like to think of $crooge as living into the 21st century...and even I
tend to think of him, like Barry Allen, as having essentially being as
thorougly dead as his creator is now...)
The only difficulty with that is, as Mike Barrier noted, that Barks never
let consistency of details get in the way of a good story. Certainly the
other businesses $crooge owns would undercut the force of a story like "Only
a Poor Old Man" (among many others) in which the Beagle Boys succeed (if only
temporarily) in walking off with the entire contents of $crooge's money bin.
$crooge still would hardly be bankrupt if they'd actually succeeded in doing
so, though, to obtain operating expenses, he WOULD either have to sell a
profitable business or use his property or business as collateral for a loan,
both of which he'd find intolerable. Between that and his personal attachment
to all those coins (none to quite the extent as "Old #1," but all together
would probably multiply it a hundredfold), he'd react almost as he would TO
losing all his property. (This is the world's greatest miser, after all, who
gets upset even when he loses a dime that ISN'T Old #1.) But I'll admit it
undercuts a certain amount of the significance (to Donald and the rest, if
not to $crooge) of a story of this kind...

Bad Wolf vs. Irish Hound
Message 141 -
2001-04-14 at 19:19:54
Although I received a notice that DCML had indeed received my answer to
Barry's query regarding the Big Bad Wolf / Northern Irish Hound story, I
never saw it printed on the list. Therefore,I submit it again, with an
apolgy in advance in case this is the second time. On Saint Patrick's Day,
Zeke mistakes a large Hound for being a "Green" Irish (citizen or
descendent of Eire or a sympathiser) when the latter is actually an
"Orange" Irisher - who summarily pounds Zeke to a pulp for his faux pas.
No. That story was not printed in WDC & S nr. 186. The Bad Wolf story in
that issue was about Zeke bringing a hound (animal non-speaking character)
home to Li'l Wolf, but using it to track down the trail of the Pigs by
sniffing at porkchops. I checked all the WDC issues from 1954 - 1957.
The story you seek was not in those. I don't have time to check all my US
comics, and many of my Dutch comics are in Europe (where I do not return
until early June). But, I do not remember that story being a Dutch
production. Perhaps Harry F. can help us with that information. I can't
imagine that the US Western Pub. Editors would allow such a political and
ethnic storyline to be printed in USA. The "wearing of the Green" vs.
"wearing of the Orange" refers to a violently political struggle between
existing ethnic populations in actual nations. That was generally against
Disney policy, and, to my recollection, has only occured when the USA was
at war (and then only referred to the nation that USA was fighting
against). Even then, such a reference was only used as a single gag, not
tied to the theme of the story. I would "bet the farm" that that story was
not a US production. However, I DO remember having read that story years
ago. Perhaps it is a Danish production. Hej, Ole, -
can you help us with this one? Or maybe David G.? Or anyone else who
knows where the story was printed. If you do have a printing of the story,
please provide the story code number along with the magazine issue number
so we can use INDUCKS to track the publications in our respective
countries. Thanks. - Rob Klein

Help... What was Donald singing???
Message 143 -
2001-04-15 at 15:37:16
I really need some help now! In an old Carl Barks story, Donald had written
a song and sold it, and for the money he brought his nephews up to a hotel
in the mountains. Every time Donald played his song on the jukebox, there
was a... eeh, what's the word? lots of snow rolling down from the mountain
smashing things... everybody thought that an old hermit living up in the
mountains was starting the snow-rolling-down-from-the-mountains, and then it
turned out to be the music of Donald's record.
My question here is; WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE SONG, AND WHAT WAS THE GIVEN
LINE FROM THE LYRICS? I wonder 'bout this because I have only read the story
in Norwegian, and now I'm working with a story which will use this song
again (yes, I wanna be a Disney story teller like my heroes Carl Barks and
Don Rosa, and I'm PROUD of it)... so it could be a good idea if I knew the
lyrics first!
By the way, did $crooge die in 1967? I cried when I first heard, but then I
realized it is obvious (since he was 100 y.o.), and I started to notice what
Don Rosa does with time in his stories. Don, if you read this; you are a
genius and my greatest hero!

Hi everyone!

That's the panel I scanned for my site's index, but it's too small to read, unfortunately--

19-20 in the list that appears in the lower left frame) (clicking on the image will display
a one-line summar in the lower frame).
Don't you think the hermit has a Santa Claus-like face (and eyes, esp),
p 8 panel 5?
There's another "screaming cowboy": Goofy!
"Goofy the Kid-- The moaning cowboy!" , actually
(Aug 12 - Aug 24 , 1946, Bill Walsh & Floyd Gottfredson)
2 lines from his songs: "Daown in Taixas..." (Aug 20)
"...on thuh range..." (Aug 23)
There's also a Mickey daily in which Mickey writes a song and it has dire
consequences-- people literally go mad about it:
"Bull-a-griddle-

With my battered git-tar
A-screamin' my heart out
Fer yew"
That's the panel I scanned for my site's index, but it's too small to read, unfortunately--
http://members.nbci.com/mouse_ducks , WDC&S (click on the cat icon, then
19-20 in the list that appears in the lower left frame) (clicking on the image will display
a one-line summar in the lower frame).
Don't you think the hermit has a Santa Claus-like face (and eyes, esp),
p 8 panel 5?
There's another "screaming cowboy": Goofy!
"Goofy the Kid-- The moaning cowboy!" , actually
(Aug 12 - Aug 24 , 1946, Bill Walsh & Floyd Gottfredson)
2 lines from his songs: "Daown in Taixas..." (Aug 20)
"...on thuh range..." (Aug 23)
There's also a Mickey daily in which Mickey writes a song and it has dire
consequences-- people literally go mad about it:
"Bull-a-griddle-
Fid-a-griddle-DEE!"
(July 28 - Aug 9, 1947; Bill Walsh & Floyd Gottfredson)
Good luck with your story!
(are you doing both the script & art?)

I believe the same phrase (might have been human bean) was used in
Melvin the Monster (?) comics as well, if I have the name right. He was
a nice green monster with a Mummy and a Baddy, IIRC.

Thanks to Fernando, Olivier and Harald... me - a creator?

Hi there! Thanks for lots of answers on my question. Fernando wanted me to
write more about my "new profession", and so I will... (if you're not
interested in reading stuff about ME, you can just delete this mail...)
Well, I am a student right now, so in this moment, it is no way for me to be
a full-time disney creator. I just want to be a part of the Disney universe.
Each week I read the "Donald Duck & Co" and, to be honest, I don't like the
quality on most comics. I love Carl Barks/Don Rosa, but I think there should
be more story writers like them - who 1) write comics in the mid-50's, where
$crooge can be alive and the time prospect can be correct, 2) try to connect
the stories, in the same way as Don Rosa uses his Barks references, 3) bring
$crooge out on adventures all around the world, 4) connect the life in
Duckburg with events around in the world and 5) try to use the events of Lo$
in the stories. I was very curious, and then I made up my mind; I want to
write such stories myself (just the writing though... I am a terrible
drawer)! I made a phone call to the editor of "Donald Duck & Co", Solveig
Thime (yes, that's Egmont), and she sent me a cartoon script guide.
Right now I'm working on my first cartoon, which is a story about (this is
big:) THE INVENTION OF LITTLE HELPER. I'm quite sure my next story will be a
story where $crooge, Donald and HD&L goes to Oak Island to search for the
treasure which is hidden there (I need some more research on that story, I'm
not 100% updated on the Oak Island mystery), and on that journey Donald
brings his LP record with that song on, and the song turns out to have an
effect on the ocean... right now that idea exist only in my head...
But, of course, things take time. When I'm 18 y.o., a student, very engaged
in student politics AND hosting a local radio show (yes, this was a portrait
of me...) I don't have too much time to write $crooge stories. But I try to
spend as much time as I can on it. Still, I haven't finished my first story,
but when I do, I will send it to Egmont and cross my fingers...
One thing I can guarantee is that in the future I will use Blackheart Beagle
a lot... B.B. is the one bandit that has a high wish to get revenge on
$crooge - and he would, if he got the chance, kill $crooge as well. (Like
the relationship Mickey Mouse has to the Phantom Blot.)
Anyway, this is me. I will try as good as I can to write this comics. I hope
you, Fernando, is satisfied with this answer.
Yes, I agree that the old hermit looks a lot like Santa Claus... but when I
read the story, he had a LIGHT BROWN beard...
Bye for now!

Probably so. Same writer as on "Little Lulu", John Stanley, Dell's other
greatest creator of comics, along with Mr. Barks and Walt Kelly.

AND I REPLY:
Lulu and plenty of other probably used that expression, but my most vivid
memory of the phrase "hoomin bean" is from FREDDY, the daily newspaper comic
strip.
