I'm hoping that these stories will show up in Dutch, eventually, in the book
series BIG FUN. The contents of BIG FUN (that's the Dutch name 8-) is
directly copied from its German or Danish equivalent. It contains long
stories only. So far 2 issues were published in Holland; the third one will
be in the shops in a few weeks (and probably just in time for my
birthday...)
Since the Dutch editors only say "yes" or "no" to an entire issue, and not
to every story individually, the chances are bigger that (interesting) long
Mickey stories will be used there.

Yes, a 3-weeled bike or a barrel of money, and now,
don't choose the bike and drive around with no head.
(I at least catch a reference to one or another
quiz-Barks-story here, maybe WDC 99)

Would it be possible to make some scans of this
charecter - and I hope he'll be seen in Denmark,
sounds interesting.

Oh (I know the mag. thanks to yourself). That's too
bad. the one I have from you has a story with 4 pages.
already it wasn't fair calling a magazine something
because of a 4 page story IMO, but now only one page.
What do they think they're doing... :-)

What do you mean Henri?
Egmont's monthly extra is monthly.
It usually has one or two french Mickey-stories and
then 2 or 3 reprints from the late 80'es or early
90'es, by Vicar or Branca (Great stories, that I read
before, made available to new readers - I convenced
myself to think positive...)
A few issues ago there was also a dutch story in the
extra, made by danish, brilliant artist Freddy Milton.

I was told what the expression i wrote means - I'm not
sure I should tell it to those here who don't know.
Oh my, what one can say without knowing...

I just wrote it as it was.

Simo Malinen <malines at iobox.fi>
Thanks for showing all those great stories from
Denmark.
As a dane I should know that the stories are good, I
just have to find time to read them.
Vicar, eg. is a brilliant atist, but considered by
many(maybe sometimes myself) to be to mainstream, the
usual style.
Keep in mind that also stories by Don and the van
Horns are egmonts. Marco Rota too, and recently the
italian maestro Scarpa! You can't leave these ones out
when you look at danish stories.
Then Holland has Heymans, Jippes and Milton, and I
regret big time that I'm not very good at readin
ducth, cause I would get a subscription if I could
read all those stories by Milton, and the barks-script
made into something better than what Strobl and others
could.
BTW I leave out the Mickey Mouse. Since at least 1998
the stories with him have been so great in Denmark.
With authors like Sarah Kinney, the MacGreals and
artists like Petrucha, Ferioli and Rodriques, we're
very lucky. I don't envy the dutch in that case.

If some dane insists on getting you the issue (due out
on wednesday), he's welcome. If not, I'll buy 18
issues instead of the 17 I already ordered. (Gosh)...

Gilles
Interesting about the future-term.

There's some stories there that would be fun to see.
I also remember one, but it was just about a camera
that could take pictures of the future. (Dutch)

Is there someone who can help me with this question?

I believe that the Another Rainbow site contained page with market
values, but the last time I checked, I couldn't find it. Am I
misremembering; not searching good enough; or has that page been
taken off-line?<

I'm glad you mentioned this Daniel. Has anyone else been tracking the sale price of Barks
lithos on Ebay like I have? With the exception of the first two, they seem to ALL go for
substantially less than Another Rainbow would have you believe, and I mean substantially less.
If Another Rainbow says a litho is worth $2500, I bet you could not get $500 or $600 for it on
Ebay. Obviously, Ebay is only once source of data, but I have bought and sold several of these
lithos through the years, and I always thought ARs "price guide" was hokey and manipulated, if
not down right unethical in that it was artifically inflated, mostly because sales were
transacted through the publisher, AR itself. Don't be surprised if the bottom falls out on
these now that buyers and sellers have direct access to each other and don't have to go through
AR as the middleman.

Perhaps you or others would like to (re)read the perhaps most sad story
of all times--my personal favourite in that category. More grief and
sadness and bad luck is impossible to find:

Ennio Missaglia's terrible (and great!) "Le avventure di Paperin
Cenerentolo" (I TL 306-A) from 1961 drawn by Luciano Capitanio, who's
intrinsic sad style worked better than ever. A true milestone that runs
sixty very touching pages. Have "fun" :-/

(I usually skipped that story as a kid, not because it was badly drawn
or written or anything, but simply because I couldn't cope with
it...wonder if we'll ever see stories like that again...sigh!)

Søren

I think this term originated from the Amos and Andy program of the 30's
and 40's. Anyone who knows about american radio of this period knows
that this was possibly the most popular program ever. It got so popular
that movie theaters would schedule intermissions every night from
7:00-7:15 so people wouldn't miss the action, and during summer nights
you could walk down suburban streets and hear the entire show from
people's open windows. It's virtually impossible that Barks didn't hear
this show, and I'm 75% certain that's where the phrase came from.

Sorry to be off topic but.........

Do you like "Winnie the Pooh"? I am a big fan of it, and I would like to
share everything to you about anything of "Winnie the Pooh". I have
searched a lot of "the Pooh" web pages and found interesting about it. I
also thinking of create one by myself too. I know a lot of people like the
classic "the Pooh" somehow, but in my personal point of view. I would
prefer the colorful and cute, new "the Pooh". I have some collections of
sound wave of previous episodes of "Winnie the Pooh". If you are interest
in it then I can share them. Some pictures are also available. Welcome to
post back any message about "Winnie the Pooh". Can't wait to see every
reply!!

Hi, I just wonder: What model is Donald's car, the 313?

I've read somewhere that it it a Ford Roadster '31, I think... but I've just
read it in "Donald Duck & Co" a long long time ago, so I'm not quite sure
how reliable that source is...

I've also seen on the Norwegian TV show "Norge Rundt" some people making a
real car exact similar as 313. If anyone knows more about that story, maybe
they can tell what model THAT was?

And: Any good theories on how Donald got his car? Just wondering...

-olaf-

ps. for you who understand Norwegian, I've opened a "Andeby"-section on my
homepage, http://home.no.net/treaa/ . Unfortunately it's not much there
(mostly my own dreams and reflections), but maybe more is to come...

That car actually exist, yes! It's an almost exact replica of 313 as seen
in the comics. Only difference in appearance at first eyeglance is black
tires instead of white. The engine however is not a "1920 Mixwell engine"
as described in "Volcano Valley", but rather a more well known engine from
an Opel Kadett.

Here is the story of the car:
The idea came up in late 1990 in connection with the planning of a car show
(Motorama) to be held in 1991 in Trondheim, Norway. The car was build
during the winter and spring of 1991 at Geir Jonassen's workshop in
Trondheim. He used panels from the Donald Duck weekly when sketching out
the construction drawings. Based on the assumption that Donald is 1 meter
tall, the car was calculated to be 2.8 meters long. It was stretched
somewhat compared to the comics in order to make sufficient space for a
door. In the comics the distance between front and rear wheels are greater
when the door is open! Stretchy thing!
To be able to turn the front wheels, the fenders had to be modified.
The body was made from steel plates with the help of Geir's brother Ola and
their father Finn.

Olav Andresen assembled the car at his garage and mounted the engine and
pedals. The engine was like I said above from an Opel Kadett. The wheels
are of the same type as used for tractor trailers manufactured in a nearby
village.

Spraywork was done by Rolf Naess and Morten Bordal at Naess Billakkering,
Melhus.
Interior was done by Aage Henriksen.

The work was completed in only 8 weeks, and the car was ready and running
in time for the Motorama.

At the 2nd of May, Donald Duck was given driver's license valid for the
municipality of Duckburg. The car was approved by the automobil authorities
in Trondheim and given, of course, the number 313.

All this information is presented in an album written (in Norwegian) by
Arne Asphjell and Geir Hasnes called "Duckmobiles". There are also some
pictures of the car. It has been my intention for a long time to scan these
pictures and put them on the web. Maybe it will happen.
The rest of the album (31 pages) is dedicated to the automobiles of the
duck universe.It has chapters like: Donald's car, Daisy's cars, Gladstone's
cars, Grandma's car, Scrooge's cars, Gyro Gearloose, The Beagle Boys' cars,
Traffic, Veteran cars, Luxury cars, Prize cars, Other vehicles, Equipment,
The Future. All examples are from Barks stories, and they are compared with
real-life models. Really interesting!

Nowadays, I think the car is in Bergen.
