A few years ago, I attended an event for Walt Disney World castmembers
called "Goofy's Studio Mystery" a sort of scavenger hunt that involved
solving clues and answering trivia questions after hours at The Disney /
MGM studios. Somewhere in the trivia question packet was a multiple
choice question: Who was the creator of Scrooge McDuck? Well, of course
I knew the answer, but the only one that came close of the choices was
Carl Banks, so I chose that one and grumbled, and when the answers were
read out later by the DJ co-host of the event, I shouted out "Barks!"
which more or less went unnoticeds.
Last night, I attended the event again, (now renamed "Goofy's Mystery
Tour" and taking place at Animal Kingdom) and was shocked to see the
same question with the same misspelled answer. This time as the answers
were being read, I marched down to the foot of the stage and waved at
the lady who was the event's main organizer and she came over to me. I
stared by saying "You're going to think I'm the world's nit-pickiest
person, but ... " And as soon as I mentioned Carl Barks's name, she
slapped herself in the forehead, realizing she had already intended to
fix this error and forgotten. Still, she made up for this by walking
over to the DJ and noting the error on his list, so that when he got to
the question, this time he would read the correct answer.

Regarding Don Markstein's "kinda seeing Barks thinking of Sadie Hawkins
Day":
Don, - Is that what you suspect? - Or did you hear of Carl, himself,
having referred to that?
He, told me several times ((when we discussed where his ideas came from (in
individual stories), that Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" was a big influence on
him. He mentioned specifically, that "Sadie Hawkins Day" was his
inspiration for "shenanigans" involving Daisy with Donald (please excuse my
own paraphrasing) in at least two individual WDC & S stories. I can no
longer recall which stories he referred to, as I am now middle- aged, and
the conversations took place in the late 1960s and beginning of the 1970s.
He mentioned Capp's strip most, but also "The Gumps" ((that Andy Gump's
rich Uncle was the inspiration for Uncle Scrooge) (at least in terms of the
fabulous wealth's ability to allow him to go anywhere and do anything he
wished)). Seeing the glow in his eyes when he mentioned "Li'l Abner, and
hearing him chuckle every time he spoke of it, I would venture to guess
that Capp's strip was one of his favourite strips (if not the very
favourite). He was not embarassed to say that he was influenced by other
cartoonists.
Carl also mentioned "The Katzenjammer Kids" and "Thimble
Theatre"(especially the earlier Segar) as others of his favourite strips
(but he did not say whether or not he may have been influences on him). He
also mentioned liking several other strips from the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s
that he liked, but I cannot remember which, as I knew little about U.S.
newspaper strips from those periods. It seems clear that the joy he
received in reading the newspaper cartoon strips in his young childhood
spurred him into his cartooning career. (But, I believe that has been said
many times in his various biographies?).
Cheers, Rob Klein

Hi!

>>that he liked, but I cannot remember which
As you know, Donald Ault & Thomas Andrae conducted an interview of the Duck Man
on August 4, 1975, which was filmed.
The very first question (about 0:03:00, Donald Ault) is:
"Could you tell us what your largest and most important early influence is,
especially in terms of artists?"
And Barks answered:
"Why, it was reading the newspaper comics perhaps. And I can go back as far as Winsor McCay
as one of the influences. I would say Barney Google and Happy Hooligan and later on the Disney
comics of Mickey Mouse. I liked the Mickey Mouse stories because they had humour in them and...
When you look at my later stories in the comic books you'll see that I was kind of following the
format
Floyd Gotffredson established. You'd have Mickey and the other guys involved in funny situations; at
the
same time they were having serious problems, and they solved their serious problems by funny means;
some outrageous sort of thing would happen.. And I guess that was where I automatically found the
basis
for my own storywriting."
Winsor McCay drew highly imaginative strips, especially "Little Nemo" (1905-11, 1911-14, 1924-27).
Barney Google was created by Billy De Beck in 1919.
Happy Hooligan was created by Frederick Burr Opper in1899-- 1900 according to Don's Toonepedia,
which I believe to be much more trustworthy.

Well, maybe because it is! There's such a thing as an average, and
a very large majority considers the Dutch average lots higher than
the Danish average - and has done so for years.

But that's not a feat deserving any credit, as the Germans have hardly
produced *anything* in almost half a century, and the French have
discontinued doing so, because of their conversion to Barks and Rosa.
This is rather sad, as their own artists made very charming work.

approx size 10"x 8". drawn by carl barks 1955. signed bottom, also

[Contains a MUCH LARGER SCAN than the one I've mentioned here on
28 April 2001, plus a scan of the drawing's certificate.
This certificate mentions that the drawing came from the collection
of Lisa Hampton, "a long time friend of Carl and Gare Barks."

The drawing itself contains a penciled date, which is "Mar 25 1955 office".
I find this interesting because the art of the cover was submitted on
November 1, 1961, which is about *six* years later!

CARL BARKS ORIGINAL DONALD DUCK ARTWORK
"http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1142989602"
Seller: This wonderful piece is titled: "Airborne and Climbing"
On April 12, 1997, Walt Disney World celebrated Carl Barks' birthday
in a BIG WAY. Carl, along with 200 of his closest friends, celebrated his
96th birthday with a "Duck" party and great collectibles. Carl produced
75 original drawings for the shindig and all of these one-of-a-kind
original pieces sold out. [...] Image is approx. 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" and
comes framed in gold leafed molding sized at 12 1/2" x 18 1/2" with UV
Plexiglas as seen here. The back of the picture is sealed with a
Carl Barks Studio label. The item has been signed in Carl's block style
lettering on the corner of the drawing. The electronic scan of this
piece does not do justice to the magnificence of Carl Barks' craft at
96 years of age! I am still in awe...

so I can't see who it is. The certificate-scan refers to catalogues.
Does someone know these catalogues? DvE.]

CARL BARKS ORIGINAL DONALD DUCK ARTWORK
"http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1142989602"
Seller: This wonderful piece is titled: "Airborne and Climbing"
On April 12, 1997, Walt Disney World celebrated Carl Barks' birthday
in a BIG WAY. Carl, along with 200 of his closest friends, celebrated his
96th birthday with a "Duck" party and great collectibles. Carl produced
75 original drawings for the shindig and all of these one-of-a-kind
original pieces sold out. [...] Image is approx. 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" and
comes framed in gold leafed molding sized at 12 1/2" x 18 1/2" with UV
Plexiglas as seen here. The back of the picture is sealed with a
Carl Barks Studio label. The item has been signed in Carl's block style
lettering on the corner of the drawing. The electronic scan of this
piece does not do justice to the magnificence of Carl Barks' craft at
96 years of age! I am still in awe...
[Is this art included in the "Barks Treasury" book? DvE.]

Seller: This is a very "Rare" original Drawing for the "Xerzes" painting
that Carl did in the 1970's. Jeff Cain says these were the years that
"Carl did his Best work" I am trying to buy the original Oil, but the
seller will not sell it at any price. This is your chance to get one
of the best sexest female girl ducks Carl ever did. This is the exact
same size as the painting he did from it. It is signed by Carl.

Daniel, Timo:
>> In private email someone asked me about the (non-Barks) Duck paintings
which have the style of Breughel and Whistler, etc.
Are pictures of these paintings available on internet? Are they mentioned in
the I.N.D.U.C.K.S. database?
> You must mean this:
http://www.oceanbunny.de/privat/duck/duck.htm
List member Luca Boschi wrote a very interesting essay about this subject
(published as the final chapter of the "Walt Disney presenta Paperina e le
altre" book, in 1994). I guess he won't mind if I give a very short summary
of the essay here:
During the production of the 1941 Disney movie "The Reluctant Dragon", a gag
was devised about a "Portrait of Madonna Duck". Disney animators liked the
idea a lot, and decided - just for the fun of it - to paint a series of
"classical" portraits. Seventeen portraits were produced, and later
published in the April 16th, 1945 issue of Life magazine.
Almost 50 years later, a similar effort was undertaken by Professor Eckhart
Bauer of the Fine Arts School of Brunswick, Germany. Prof. Bauer and his
students produced a few paintings and sculptures, which were assembled in
the "Duckomenta" exhibition (first shown in Grenoble in 1990). The paintings
were inspired to Van Gogh, Degas, Manet, and Toulouse-Lautrec (among
others), while one of the sculptures represented the famous Egyptian queen
Duckfertiti...
I can add that another similar project has been described in issue #8 of "I
Maestri Disney", devoted to G.B. Carpi. In 1997, the late Maestro taught a
course of "Pictorial Research", and his seven students painted a picture
each, re-inventing a few classics (Rembrandt, Klimt, Canova, Holbein,
Caravaggio, Bruegel, and Van Eyck) with Disney characters.

I've included all the information I have about these books. If you have
additional information, or corrections, please let me know.
[...]
I can only give you an additional piece of info:
<< In these editions, there are 94 of the 122 oils Barks made in the 1970s,
because for the other the material was not good for the printing >>
The oils which were not reproduced in books 3 and 4 are those that had been
reproduced in small format in the "Fine Art of W. Disney's Donald Duck"
book.
I have never seen the two Italian books, and I suspect they're quite costly.
I only hope that some publisher will think of a complete edition of all
Barks' paintings - possibly not another "very limited, exclusive,
leather-bound, gold-engraved, for real collectors only" one ;-)

Rob Klein --
What I said about Barks possibly having been inspired by Al Capp's Sadie
Hawkins Day was just the way it seems to me, not based on anything Barks
himself said. I was responding to an earlier observation of the same thing.
Just a guess, at least on my part. If Barks himself said it, then I suppose
it was a pretty good guess.
And yeah, I can certainly see that he'd have been influenced by Segar's
terrific funny adventure stories in Thimble Theatre. Never knew Andy Gump's
Uncle Bim had any influence on the creation of Scrooge, tho.

Barks early influences
Message 164 -

Thanks Olivier, for the information on Carl Barks' favourite early
newspaper strips (1910s and 1920s). Those that you mentioned (Little Nemo,
Barney Google and Happy Hooligan were three of the other strips he
mentioned to me - whose names I couldn't remember). Now that you have
perked up my memory, I remember two more: Mutt and Jeff , AND another
Winsor McCay strip with a strange title having to do with eating before
going to sleep and then having nightmares. I cannot remember the title;
but, I believe it could be paraphrased as: "Rarebit Madness"? or "Rarebit
Nightmares"? or "Tales of Rarebit Madness"?
Can anyone tell us what the actual title was? I seem to remember that a
few DCML members were quite knowledgeable (if not experts) on newspaper
comic strips. I even remember once navigating to a website about that
subject which had a plethora of information on that subject (worldwide
publications). I ended up arriving there from a link from a grouping of
Italian Disney Comic websites.
Can anyone provide the website addresses of any websites on historical
newspaper comic strips?
Thanks, Rob Klein

Hi everyone!
I've moved my site ("Of Mouse and Ducks" / M&D) to a new url:
http://ob7.free.fr/mouse_ducks/
The great thing is that with this host there are no ads: no pop-ups,
(there weren't any on the previous url either ) and no immovable
frame that eats up space at the top of the page and ruins a carefully
designed layout (as was the case)!
Thanks for using this address as your bookmark or in your links rather
than the page it links to (the site itself) so that the visits are counted by
the-- er-- counter. Absolutely no profit; just the pleasure of seeing the
figure increase and knowing fellow fans like the site.
Oh, and I have updated it.
All my apologies to the many sites I haven't linked to yet.
Thanks a lot for the link to those great paintings, Timo!
