Actually, only the Scandinavian weeklies look much alike. The Italian,
French, Dutch, Brazilian, Greek periodicals are very different! Even the
German and Finnish weeklies have many differences with the Scandinavian
ones.
(And I won't mention the USA periodicals...)

As far as I remember, most WDC covers were funny gags! (WDC being "Walt
Disney's Comics & Stories")

The Dutch weekly contains stories with all kinds of characters, including
ducks, mice, wolves, parrots, witches.
To my taste, they print too *few* Mickey stories.
BTW, in Germany the weekly is called "Micky Maus". It would be strange to
have NO Mickey story in there at all!

I have read all Barks stories many times. I'm not waiting for a re-reprint
of those stories!

If two Beagle Boys would have the same number, maybe that could
mean they are twin brothers? If so, they could misuse that,
because if one does a crime, the police may never know which of
the two twin brothers has done it. :-)

At least one (originally found by Timo Ronkainen for a discussion in

In "King Scrooge the First" W US 71-01 (story by Barks) 4000-year-old
magician kills himself by taking antidote to immortality powder.
As far as plain deaths are concerned, old Italian comics include a nice

You mean those baseball bats they make across the river in Indiana?
Well, they did make them in Indiana until just a few years ago when
Louisville offered the company a tax-incentive package to move to a
refurbished 1880's (when young $crooge was here) factory on the Louisville
riverfront and open a baseball museum to help promote downtown Louisville
tourism. So, yes, NOW the Louisville Sluggers are actually made in
Louisville.
(And note that whenever I show a baseball bat in my stories or covers or

Laskeblask story

Answer to Theresa Wiegert's question of the Laskeblask story (sorry - I can
use my Scandinavian characters only with my Microsoft Word - not with my
e-mail):
Theresa: I believe that the story you mentioned must be "For Mycket
Laskeblask" (Fo(e)r Mycket La(e)skeblask)" or "Lemonade Looney", D7734.
It was an 11 - page story drawn by Daniel Branca, and published in
Scandinavia in 1985. I believe it was written by one of the British
writers, but there is no entry for that in INDUCKS. Perhaps David G. can
provide that information?
Regarding Olaf's comment on a better Weekly and Mickey stories. I wish we
could have Weeklies changed to a format which is more to "my" taste (that
would apply to the taste of the reader of each weekly magazine in his/her
country). But, that requires profitability and the publisher's and the
editors' having knowledge of the exact taste of the majority of readership
and matching that to the profitability. this ideal situation does not
always occur. In any case the taste of a givin individual will rarely be
reflected.
In Holland, the Mickey Mouse monthly was stopped, and very few new Mickey
stories appear in the Weekly -(none in Donald Duck Extra). So, - very few
of the great Noel van Horn Mickey stories are seen by Dutch readers. As a
fan of Gottfredson, Bill Wright, Murray and van Horn, I would rather have
Mickey stories in my Donald Weekly than not at all. ideally, I agree with
you, however, that it would be best to have them segregated. I would
rather have a "Duck" weekly, AND a "Mouse" weekly, AND a monthly giant
comic with all the OTHER Disney Characters, AND a Duck monthly for longer
epic stories, AND.....
But, alas... we live in the real world, (sigh.....)

As recent comments from others have shown, Stranger in a Strange Land is not
necessarily going to be to everyone's taste. If you are not familiar with
Heinlein, I highly recommend his classic "Time for the Stars," "Puppet
Masters," "Tunnel in the Sky," and his short stories to start with. "Time"
and "Tunnel" were in his series of "juvenile" novels (written for teenage
boys) but are not dumbed-down, and are absolutely enjoyable by adults. The
lesser-known "Double Star" has a lot of cutting satire of the political
process. All of these are much shorter reads that "Stranger in a Strange
Land" or "Time Enough for Love," which is massive, so require a much smaller
time commitment. I envy all of you who will get to read these for the first
time.
By the way, the term "waldo" which is now commonly used for
remote-controlled mechanical "hands" (used for handling radioactive
materials, for instance) comes from Heinlein's novella "Waldo."

Strange scene in Cibola story? (US 7)

I find your question of that email very interesting and I've tried to
"rewrite" it by describing the scene in more detail and by putting a
possible answer (in fact also a question) of my own into it. I'm curious
what you and others think of it:
- - - - - - -
* In panel 9.6, a vase falls apart from a nephew's hands. It's filled with
jewels, but Scrooge doesn't seem impressed. Instead, he only answers the
nephews' observing that the vase fell apart, by saying its "No wonder!"
* In panel 9.7, all the ducks gather around the vase's contents and
Donald states they're "beads and JEWELS and ornaments of heavy GOLD!"
* In panel 9.8, Scrooge suddenly jumps over the jewels greedily, saying
"Let me have a look at that stuff! I'm an EXPERT on GOLD!"
* In panel 10.1, Scrooge holds the contents of the broken vase in
his hands and says "It's REAL, boys! And the design shows it's at
least a THOUSAND years old!"
The timing of Donald being the first to identify the vase's contents,
followed up by Scrooge's sudden excitement, might seem a bit strange,
as if panel 9.8 (Scrooge being excited) could have been inserted
between panel 9.7 and panel 10.1 at a later moment.
Could there be an explanation for the "strange" timing of this scene,
if strange at all? For example, is it possible that Barks looked over
the story and decided to make this rather theoretical scene a bit more
visual by inserting the excited Scrooge into it?
BTW. Another example of such a change would be "The Golden River" (US 22),
in which Barks cut out a page of theory by replacing it for two half pages
with balloon and stilt gags.
- - - - - - -
Francesco, in your email you mentioned that Scrooge doesn't look "Barksian"
in panel 9.6, but to me he looks as being drawn by Barks himself. In other
words, *if* something in this scene indeed could have been changed, I think
it was done by Barks himself, not by the editor.
My thought about panel 9.8 being inserted is just a rough first impression.
I'm not at all sure about it, rather the contrary. At this moment I do not
have the time to think of other "possibilities". I just wanted to let you
know that I agree with your thoughts about this scene.

Yes. I think it had a 1000 copies print run, it was expensive (40.000 ?.);
in black and white and was not even distributed in all the Comics Shops,
sold by mail and for a Club subscribers...
So, maybe I was (sadly) right. The only reprint in the newsstands of the

Yes, I agree. I think that actually that Scrooge seems a bit strange,
probably because he's been redrawn over a previous Scrooge, that maybe, was
already exited by the sight of the jewels. Maybe Barks, re-reading it,
decided to add panel 9.7, abd had to change Scrooge in panel 9.6 to be
consistent with the following panels. Or maybe he just changed that Scrooge
becasue he'd realized that an exited Scrooge in that panel (while the vase
was still breaking) has something wrong in contemporaneity.
I understand I'm not being clear (I woudn't know ho to explain this exactly
in Italian, in English even less), but if you look at that page you'll
realize what I mean.

Magica?! Magica de Speel?!
This makes me remember an I-coded story with Magica that's one of my

"Amelia in: Un Amore di Strega"

She's not JUST triyng to get's Scrooge's first dime, she has a LIFE in

Ok, i't's clear that the real objective of her life is to get this coin,
but
it's so funny to see her remenber the "life behind the coin"! I specially
liked the "italianization" intro on the story! I suppose this story
represent's more than a "italy people steriotyped", as the brazilian Z?
Carioca's ones! It'the vision of the italian people by the italian artists
thenselves, am I right?
In fact, I suppose the italian Disney artists has the chance to do with
Magica the same the brazilian artists did with Z? Carioca, since she is an
italian, I think she can be developed in great ways, as this story did. I
ask to the italian members around here if you know others Magica's italian
stories as tthis one, that develops her personality and the fact she is a
italian witch?

Ok, i't's clear that the real objective of her life is to get this coin,
but
it's so funny to see her remenber the "life behind the coin"! I specially
liked the "italianization" intro on the story! I suppose this story
represent's more than a "italy people steriotyped", as the brazilian Z?
Carioca's ones! It'the vision of the italian people by the italian artists
thenselves, am I right?
In fact, I suppose the italian Disney artists has the chance to do with
Magica the same the brazilian artists did with Z? Carioca, since she is an
italian, I think she can be developed in great ways, as this story did. I
ask to the italian members around here if you know others Magica's italian
stories as tthis one, that develops her personality and the fact she is a
italian witch?
Fernando!

This is terrible... At this moment I don't have the slightest idea
which Barks junk yard gag is meant here. Could someone help me out
by telling which gag is meant?
