something to be said for the simple "WAK!" as well. Actually, I've always
loved the Italian "UAK!" (or is it "uac"?) But I have a question: my wife & I
often use the term "unlax" instead of "relax" (as in "Why don't we sit on the
couch and unlax?"). I feel certain this comes from a Duck comic. Does anyone
remember this? I've always been curious about it. It sort of confused me as a
kid, but I liked it enough to pick it up.

Hello!
In case anyone's interested, Augie De Blieck Jr. has a few paragraphs in his
latest Pipeline column at the Comic Book Resources website about meeting
Duck artist Patrick Block at last week's Pittsburgh Comicon. He also touches
on the state (or lack thereof) of Disney comics in the United States. Here's
the link:

There are also some posts on this topic on the Pipeline message board at

I was wondering whether any of these titles is worth buying on a regular
basis, and in particular MIKY MAOUS, which is the flagship title. I
understand that MIKY MAOUS mainly prints stories from Topolino, which,
from what I gather from recent discussions, has become a good example
of Sturgeon's law (90% of anything is trash).

From an article (probably in CBL in color) I've got the impression that it
was Barks who came up with and made rough sketches for the character Gus
Goose. Do you know if this true? If so, Gus is the first Disney character
created by Barks!

quickly.
Disney's showing a sequel to the 3 Cabelleros on ABC-TV on Saturday in the
Mouse in the House? show. Not comics, but since Don just did a story,
people might be interested.

Hello chums
With regard to the word "Unlax"...I don't know whether
Barks came up with that in the first place, but I
remember it being used in old Bugs Bunny
strips...notably my fave funny animal adventure of all
time, "Bugs Bunny And The Cat People" (at least that's
what I think it was called, you chaps will no doubt
correct me if I'm wrong...).
I always loved that word, too, and I use it; people
view this with some suspicion, looking at me as if I
were mad.

I didn't use to buy it on a regular basis but for the past year or so I was
"forced" to do it as my two boys are in school age and basically want to get
their hands on *all* the Disney publications! I must say that I haven't
regretted it as more often than not the stories published are solid--many
times you'll get to see Scarpa, Massimo De Vita, or Cavazzano from the 70's,
80s, or 90s.

I beg to disagree: I 've been subscribing to "Topolino" for the past 2 years
and I've been reading all the stories appearing therein. While you won't
find top stories in each issue, chances are that you'll find at least one
that is above average among the 5 or so that appear every week. Personally,
I wouldn't call anything I've seen in the past 2 years as "trash", much less
"90% trash". You won't find truly memorable stories all too often, but you
can rely on being entertained. Italian comics are an acquired taste: you
have to try them in good quantities before you actually get hooked on them!
That's what happened to me, as I now subscribe to 6 titles ("Topolino", "Zio
Paperone", "I Classici Disney", "I Grandi Classici Disney", "Paperino", and
"Paperinik").

of
interest. 'The Three Caballeros' Reunite for Cinco de Mayo Episode Of
'Disney's House
of Mouse': The ever-volatile Donald Duck becomes perturbed when nobody
remembers his
role alongside his ``Three Caballeros'' partners, parrot Jose Carioca and
rooster Panchito. Thus, Donald sets out to redefine himself as the star of
the
singing group throughout the episode.
This was the problem I had when wanting to "re"introduce Jose and Panchito
into the Duck comics, even though they have never *really* existed there
before. Disney employs these two characters as well as Donald and *all* of
their characters not *as characters*, but as *actors* under (permanent)
contract, like the stable of actors of a movie studio in Hollywood's Golden
Age. They are "assigned" roles in films which they act out. I wanted to
suggest that Donald knew Jose and Panchito as old pals from years back, but
since "The Three Caballeros" was simply a musical-comedy travelogue
(though a great one), it was impossible for me to make a direct reference
to anything about it. As you see in this Disney press release, Disney
regards the film as having simply been a sequence in a "nightclub act".

Yeah, I think I have that story! I'll go look...
Ah... Donald has said something like "Let's have no more shooting while
we're in here, okay?" and Panchito is simply agreeing.
But you caused me to notice a much more annoying error the letterer made in
this story which is surprising for PICSOU to have done, since their
presentation of my stories is usually so magnifique. Check out the musical
number sequence on page 14. I recall that in the Egmont script, there was
an odd problem where three of the numbered entries were jumbled (all of the
dialogue and sound effects and background signage is numbered in Egmont
scripts for placement). In panels 7-9 there should be a sequence of entries
being "CRASH! Shatter!", "What means 'aye, caramba'"?, and "Oh, yes, I
don't know"... but somehow the Egmont script jumbled them so that the last
entry was numbered prior to the other two. Now, it would seem *obvious* to
anyone placing lettering into the story that this is an error, otherwise
they would have a character saying "CRASH! Shatter!" and a breaking pot
making the sound "Oh, yes, I don't know!" But incredibly, that's just what
the letterer did here in PICSOU. Go figger.

Hello, Mr Don Rosa!
I forgot to mention this script jumble, indeed.
And I remember you writing about it on the list last year.
Something I forgot to ask you (sorry to have you dig into
your archives again).
I don't have the film in English. Same p (14, musical number),
what are the lines panel 3. There seems to be a pun that recurs
at the very end.
In French it goes:"brillants comme une peso",
then someone replies "et pas sots?"
and they ansswer "et pas sots!"
That's a pun on peso / "pas sot" ("not dumb").
I can't figure what it may have been in English.
Thanks again.
Olivier
