Indeed. A shame. :(

In California, streets and avenues are very long. Sunset Boulevard, for
instance, runs from downtown L.A. (where the not-so-rich people live)
through Hollywood and Bevery Hills all the way to the coast (I spent one day
last year driving along the entire road!).
They have a numbering system where they start at a new 100 with every block.
The first block would be 1-99, the 2nd block 100-199, etc.

So if Duckburg, Calisota has the same system as most cities in California,
Donald and Scrooge *can* live in the same street, 13 blocks apart (Donald on
Quack Street #13 and Scrooge on #1313, if I remember correctly).

I think it's simple: two Beagle Boys carry the *same* number, and no-one
ever noticed!
(Hm... this would be a nice subject for a story... 8-)

I think it is clear from consideration of ALL the Barks stories that Uncle
scrooge has several "homes". (1) He has a large mansion in the
countryside; (2) mansion within the City limits on Billionaire's Row; (3)
small house on B Street (for hiding from people?); (4) place to sleep in
the Money Bin; and possibly, (5) place to sleep in McDuck Building (usually
with smaller Money bin than the official ones on Killmotor Hill and on the
flats by the Duckburg River on the site of Old Fort Duckburg).

It is clear that he probably spent more nights in the Money Bin than not,
and certainly much more than in the mansions. There is no indication of
his having or needing an apartment in the City Centre (as the Money Bin or
McDuck Building bed or cot would have sufficed for such.

Back to Donald's address: If Donald also had a house on 1313 Quack Street
and 13 Quack Street, those addresses could both be on EAST Quack Street,
while the 1313 Quack Street of Scrooges Building could be on 1313 WEST
Quack Street (near the waterfront and City Centre). Quack Street is
likely to be a long street (east/west direction) spanning the entire
breadth of Duckburg. From the Waterfront, through Harbour, Downtown
(business district), and City Centre, it is a major street (wide
boulevard). By the time it gets to Donald's suburban neighbourhood, it is
a small residential street.

Sorry for the incorrect mention of WDC 201 address. Donald's address was,
indeed 13 Quack Street. But, I remember another story which mentioned the
1313 Quack Street address for Donald. So, he must have had at least or 5
different addresses (based on listed addresses AND art in panels showing
neighbourhood landforms). He should have had more, based on the very
different look of several houses; however, one could claim that he only
rebuilt all of them on the same plot of land (so we cannot be sure).

Hi friends
I must say I can recommend the new weekly with the new story by Rosa.
In my opinion it's the best shorter story Don ever did. Go out and buy
it if you have the opportunity!

Thanks, can you tell us its story code?
... And how many pages long is it?

Thanks,

Steve,

This is indeed sad news. My condolences to Rich's
family and friends wherever they may be. His presence
on the list will be missed.

long time comics fan, professional, historian,
and member of this list;
Rich Morrissery died of a heart attack yesterday afternoon.
There's not much one can say about one's friends who die much too soon...

Steven Rowe

I didn't know Rich, but I've always regarded his contributions as
significant to the very texture of discourse on this mailing list. He was,
in that way, a friend, and it is always sad to lose a friend.

Hello again,

Thanks for the lovely comments about the interview.
The music was dubbed in later. The comics were taped
at my house. Yes, I'm glad I taped the Bassest too. I
hope your friends enjoy the interview as much as I
enjoyed putting it together.

By the way, Timo Ronkainen has transcribed part 1 of
some of it into Finnish for his "Ankkalinnan Pamaus"
#7. He's doing a top notch job, going back and adding
addtional material in the form of Fanzine material,
art and strips from Captain Kentucky and Pertwillaby.
It's the way I'd wanna see it done. I'm very glad he
sent me two copies.

As for the Norwegian "Pertwillaby" book, I really
would like to own a copy, but, again, I really can't
afford to spend $298.00 for it. I cringed when I heard
someone on the, since having the book, threw out his
old photocopies. I would've gladly paid for them.

Speaking of the DCML, I recently read there where
someone made a comment about something they read in
"The Jack Kirby Collector," published by John Morrow.
Well anyway, I've had 2 articles published there
before. Recently I sent Mr. Morrow the written version
of the Don Rosa interview. He said that it had a good
chance of getting printed in "Comic Book Artist"
<www.twomorrows.com> or "Comicology"
<www.comicology.com> which are also published by him.
Now, anybody interested in seeing this needs to e-mail
support to John Morrow at <twomorrows at aol.com> and
Comicology at <editor at comicology.com>

Please post this to the DCML because I know it will
help. It would also mean Mr. Rosa would likely do the
cover for the magazine.

Finally, I'm trying to find a color english
translation of the new Life and Times story. I
couldn't find it on D.U.C.K. Hunt, and thought you are
someone said it was on someones website. If there is
no such thing yet, then I'm willing to buy the edition
that came out in comics form 'if' it was published in
one book and not broken up into 3 parts throughout 3
books.

P.S. - If Ted Johansson <don_ted at hotmail.com> of
Sweden is reading this, I haven't heard back from you.
Did you get your package? And did you like it?

My new e-mail is <eliot508 at yahoo.com>

Thanks again for all your comments,

Elliott

Hello,

This is for Ted Johansson <don_ted at hotmail.com> of
Sweden. It's slightly off topic. Forgive me, it's for
a Duck fan. I've been trying to reach you. Did you get
your package? And did you like it. I've e-mailed you 5
times. Have you changed e-mails or don't know my new
one? It's:

<eliot508 at yahoo.com>

Elliott,

Subject: new appearance of an Italian Disney fan

hi, all

My name is Luca Faccioli from Bologna, Italy.

I am a big fan of all Disney Comics afterwar, WDCS, US, DD, italian issues, Egmont production .....
I also write plot and script and cooperate with Disney Italia and now with Egmont, if anyone has some question to ask or idea to suggest my E-address is at his disposal and also my almost-complete Italian Comics Collection since the first "Italian Topolino"
issued in April 1949.

I wait for contacts also in the List.

Bye, Luca.
Michael Naiman
IF Gemstone/Diamond/Geppi and Disney do come to an agreement,
AND given the new agreement between Marvel and Diamond to distribute
trade paperbacks to bookstores...is it any stretch of the imagination
that we might see even more reprints/repackaging of our Barks/Rosa
favorites in
tradepaperback form in a bookstore in your community?
Rodney W Bowcock Jr.
I certainly didn't know Rich well, but my thoughts and prayers go to his
family and those who did.
