I have just thought of one thing. Since I've got a zillion mails the last
week, I have not been able to read them all, so this may be discussed
earlier... But I was wondering if maybe the southern part of today's Oregon
is a part of Calisota? If so, that would make Carl Barks a Calisotan...
And how does the American flag look? Does it have 50 stars, or 51? My theory
is that two tiny states on the northeast coast have joined up to be one, but
I don't know too much about American geography, and I'm in a hurry, so I'll
come back to that...
Btw, I sent my Gyro story to Solveig Thime at Egmont yesterday? Now all I
will do is wait...

I've been reading some of them in "Mickey Parade", which I started buying
when they were printing all those Romano Scarpa specials, and, indeed,
I find many of the stories entertaining, even though I don't think I
will be rereading many of them in the years to come.

Railroad shares / old castle / new ideas
Message 36 -

Hi! I've just been to www.duckburg.de , where I saw through some of the
schetches never used in Life of Scrooge (I'm still not sure whether it
should be Scrooge or $crooge...), and, while reading part 11, I remembered
one of the things that've always for me been a mystery: The railroad shares
which Scrooge hides from the McVipers and forgets about - did they ever
return in a Barks story? I guess they did... If not, why did D.R. put them
there?
Another story that I've never read is the old castle's secret or whatever
the title is... I've heard that Scotty, the one that I know from Life of
Scrooge part 9, is taking part in this story. Is this true? If so, what does
he do? Can anyone give me a quick summary of what HAPPENS in that story?
I have a feeling that one of the most boring things in the world must be to
finally finish a Disney story, a huge project you've been working on for
weeks, and then suddenly have nothing to do... I feel a bit that way now. I
wanna start on a new story, but I'm not sure what to write about... But I
have lots of wild ideas... Here are some of them. (I would like comments):
- Hortense McDuck has a lethal disease, Scrooge and the nephews go to
Scotland, they find out (from the JWGB) that a flower that grows in Ireland
can save her, they go there and get tricked by a leprecaun, but manages to
get back in time
- Blackheart Beagle gets his hands on the "hypnotize gun" which Scrooge used
to get Donald charge a very strong man for some money (the story where
Donald was hypnotized to be a gorilla) and manages to make it hypnotize
everybody, not just them with low will-power... or whatever the word is...
and he uses it in an attempt to finally get his revenge on Scrooge
- Scrooge and the nephews go to Oak Island, Donald finds a record store
where they sell "The screaming cowboy". He buys it and it turns out it has a
very special effect on the waves on the ocean...
- One of the nephews have a date with a beautiful duck girl (probably
Dewey)... this is just a small thought yet, I have no actually plot on what
will happen...
- Magica De Spell uses an old formula to put herself in Scrooge's place, and
it works - she gets to Scrooge's office to steal the Dime, but then she
discovers that by putting herself in Scrooge's place she's lost all her
magical powers and therefor cannot make herself a which again. Scrooge gets
magical powers, but he has no idea of how to use it. And everybody starts
calling Magica "aunt"... and Scrooge goes to Duckburg on a broomstick to get
his property back, but nobody wants to help him because they think he is an
evil magician... Could become an interesting story.
- THE CONTINUATION - the Duck twins - Dewey's grandchildren - are told about
the history of their family in Duckburg 2000-version, and this story tells
what happened to the ducks after Scrooge died, the boys went to college...
this would be a gigantic story and would mean as much for me as "life of
Scrooge" does for Don Rosa, I guess... but it definitely won't be the first
story I write now, I need to get a name first!
- Scrooge and the nephews go treasure hunting on the Faroe islands. I have
no clear plot here, but I'm going to the Faroe Islands this summer, so I
will get hundreds of opportunities to do research on such a story... and
that would probably make the tale better, if I managed to base it on my own
experiences...
NOW: Any ideas on what I should do? At least I have to start writing
SOMETHING... My life got incredibly boring when I no longer has "best of all
inventions" to work on!
Have a nice weekend!

Two states joined together? Ha! That'll be the day!
My theory about differences in the U.S. flag is that Calisota is not a state
of the U.S. When the Ducks go abroad, don't they refer to the "Duckburgian"
embassy, rather than the "Washingtonian" one?
As for where it fits on the map -- the woods in that general region are
thick enough to hide sasquatches (or at least make it plausible to a lot of
people that sasquatches are hiding there). I'm sure there's room for a small
country or two.

There's no way you could figure out the English from that -- looks like

In (at least) the Dutch 1970s publication of this gag, the dialogue was
changed. From memory: Grandma invites Scrooge for dinner. Scrooge eats
too much because Grandma pays the bill.
I have no idea why the dialogue was changed. It could have been done by
the Dutch editors themselves, or by using an improper translation from

> In WDC&S 157 (Oct '53, "The Money Stairs"), Donald challenges Uncle
> Scrooge to climb "Demon Tooth".
Barks' synopsis-only "Hang Gliders Be Hanged!" (D 6886) refers to
"Mount Demontooth" and "Black Forest of Duckburg".
Unfortunately, the drawn version of this story dropped Barks' fishline
idea, replacing it with a scene of angry eagles. The fish-line idea
was part of the story's plot, while the eagles are only used to give
Donald a hard time.
Maybe other Demontooth references can be found in the script-only
Junior Woodchuck stories?
Best wishes,

"QUITE A BIT OF BARKS WORK FROM THE FORTIES IS CIRCULATING IN EUROPE"
I COULD HARDLY CALL ELEVEN SURVIVING PAGES A LOT OF WORK AND I DOUBT THAT THEY ARE DOING MUCH CIRCULATION. IF ANY OTHER PAGES EXIST,WILL THE OWNER PLEASE STAND UP AND SHARE WITH US YOUR TREASURE ?
I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE AS I OWN TWO COVERS LISTED AS NONEXISTENT BY MATTI ERONEN. YEARS AGO I SAW FOUR PAGES UNKNOWN TO FANDOM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PURCHASE THEM. STORY AND DATE UNKNOWN.

Paperinik and Wuxwu in ALMANAKO

Hi, Archontis and All!
I just learn by your (interesting!) message that the last issue of ALMANAKO
(#123), reprints the story Paperinik in "The Opponent from another
Dimension", from "Paperinik" #72,that I wrote some years ago and which
features the first meeting between Paperinik and Hazel the witch. It's also
the second story with the "Disney version" of an imp that in different
comics could be The Bat-Mite or Mr. Mxzyptlk. But the strange thing in this
publication is that... Being the second part of the saga, that story should
FOLLOW the other one, still written by me and drawn by Lucio Leoni &
Emanuela Negrin, that was printed in Italy in "Paperinik" # 59 (one year
before), called "Paperinik e la nefasta caricatura". Story Code I-PK59-1A,
I-PK59-1B.
Maybe you know if this last story was just printed in a previous ALMANAKO?
If not, to understand what happen in the "second part", maybe that some
dialogue must have been changed in translating it...
Any idea about?
Thanks a lot,
Luca
