Hmm. I think I made you think of the other case of copyright here. The one
you mention was the swedish Arne Ankka-charecter, he bought a beak (nebb
in english) at a shop.

I was just wondering if the guy was supposed to be some actual historic
person, and if you remembered the name, so I could look it up and get
wiser. It doesn't mean so much that it hasn't got anything to do with Don.

I see. interesting. trousers and anouther beak are the two different ways

OK, so it WAS actually quite simple. I just thought that didn't sound like
English.

Seems to be a little disagreement about where to put the accent though!

The term "Norse" doesn't refer specifically to Norway. It's a term used for
the ancient cultures of the Scandinavian countries (and Iceland).

Is this the same story? Can you tell me more about it?
Is it Italian or Danish? (I looked for it but couldn't

Yes it's the same; it's being made for Egmont (not yet published... not yet
*finished* if I understand correctly). Egmont has asked many artists to make
stories about characters created by Barks, to celebrate his centennial.
Scrooge has been given to Scarpa.

If it's given anywhere, that isn't the place. The U.S. Zip Code was still at
least ten years in the future when that story came out. It could have had
two digits representing a so-called "zone" within a city, e.g., "Duckburg
23, Calisota", as that system was long established by then, but not what we
currently understand as a postal code.
By the way, a week or so ago, somebody said he was absolutely certain there
was more than one mention of Calisota in Barks. I don't think there was any
reply, and it's been bugging me. If anyone knows of one besides the postage
stamp story, I'd like to hear it. I still remember seeing it there for the
first time. "So -- THAT'S where Duckburg is!" (Yeah, I'm so old, I remember
when that was esoteric knowledge.)

Yes, it's the same. Romano is just finishing his job in this very days, as
he told me by phone. It's a story produced for Egmont, included in the well
known project dedicated to Barks' main characters. As Don wrote some times
ago, the stories are:
Uncle Scrooge (with Brigitta) -- Romano Scarpa
Magica de Spell -- Daniel Branca
Flintheart Glomgold -- Vicar
Beagle Boys / Money Bin -- Don Rosa
Gladstone Gander -- Cesar Ferioli
Gyro Gearloose -- William Van Horn
Gyro's Helper -- Marco Rota
Junior Woodchucks -- Kari Korhonen
Neighbor Jones -- Daan Jippes
April, May, and June -- Esteban
I can only tell you that in the Scarpa's story there is a very thin
reference to the Larkies story (to the pastinaca - "assafetida" in Italian).

Hi
Or is it zip number? I never got to know if it's the same.
My answer is the same as last, I only read this in fun facts egmont
sometimes used in letter-colums of the weekly and such, fact-pages about
charecters - oh, those were the days, in some way.
Back then they said 1111 Andeby. So In Denmark it's 4 1's. I don't know if
Duckburg in america has an american zip code. What would be the state
short (like KY for Kentucky) for Calisota, btw?

The `thinking hat/cap' goes back much further than that. In some of the
Betty Boop cartoons (1930s ??), there is a professor who, in order to
come up with a solution to a problem, always starts with `Let me put my
thinking hat on'.
