Iliad, Beagles and ducks' popularity

Great you reminded me about this story. I've ment to ask a question about
it. At page 53 when Daisy comes to visit the island, she seems to be
redrawn by Perego. That is at least in the Finnish version. I've made a
scan of the page at:
http://www.hut.fi/~pkannine/iines.jpg (207 kb)
Is it same in every country?
KRITON: (about the same story)

In Finland the story is named "Riceboard" and the board is simply called a
gameboard and at one occasion Chinese riceboard. Of course I have always
known it's a chessboard thanks to Strobl's Donald in Mathmagic Land (W OS
1051-01) where the same idea is used.
BTW. I really love how Bottaro draws the Beagle boys.
And now we move smoothly to Don's (congratulations for your birthday!) new
Beagle story that was published in Finland this week:
Oh boy, did I have fun laughing through this story. I especially enjoyd
the ways the bin caught the beagles with and the way tired Scrooge missed
them. And the drawing of Scrooge in Blackheart's cell is great. But the
blueprints are the thing that took my breath away. Oh me, oh my! They are
great! All those details. It must have been great fun to do them. Big
thanks for both Dan and Don!
This story also confirms that Scrooge still has his teeth. Pretty good for
his age.
This week's issue started reprinting Don's Kalevala story too, so I think
it's the first all-Rosa number ever.
About the popularity of Disney-comics in Europe:
Last evening I've was reading while my parents watched the TV. There was a
date program (Napakymppi) going on. One person asks questions, three of
different sex answer and at the end the first chooses one of the three
before s/he can see them. Anyway, one question was "How do you use money:
like Scrooge, like Donald or like Gladstone?" People there were about 40
years old and all knew enough of the characters to answer.
And I end this message with great news (for me): my grandma promised that
I could take all the weeklies from her attic. That means about 90% of Aku
Ankkas between the years 1972-1997. Hurrah!

Happy Birthday, Don! - A day late I guess.
If you are actually celebrating today (Saturday), may
it be filled with family, friends, activities, and
things you enjoy. (And less humid, hot weather than
here in the DC area!) :-)
Take care,

The new Moby Duck
Message 445 -
2001-06-30 at 19:41:57
I've just received my copy of Topolino #2380, and it features the return of
Moby Duck, a character that I hadn't seen in many, many years.
It's not the *same* character, he has no Porpy nor any Dim-Witty, and he
doesn't live in Duckburg. Nor he lives in the present, actually this is the
first of a bunch of stories titled "Stories from the Bay", and are set in a
somewhat "Monkey Island-ish" universe.
The result is really wonderful, IMHO, and you all know how little I usually
like new Italian trends ;-)
I won't spoil anything, I'll just add that Moby Duck's helper is Fethry and
that no other usual character seems to be around in this universe. The art
for this first story is by a very inspired Silvio Camboni (Check his site
here: http://web.tiscali.it/silviocamboni unfortunately only in Italian and,
sigh, Flash) and is written by Alberto Savini.
Now let me add another thing... a couple of days ago I had the chance to
pass by the editorial office of Topolino and I happened to see (among other
wonderful things ;-) what I suppose was a print-proof, or something like
that, of a story by Sandro Del Conte printed on a very high-quality paper,
but *not glossy* at all. Well, the story looked beautiful. I generally say
that I like black and white better than color, and it's still true, but this
one was colored... so what was it? A better story? I guess not, I don't
particularly like Del Conte (too Scarpian, not being Scarpa!) I guess it was
the paper. Everybody who's seen a Topolino issue in the last 10 years will
know what paper it has (Greek Miky Maous is even glossier)... a really *bad*
paper. Every story is worsen by this kind of publication.. I wonder what
they have in their minds. I'm sure that most of the young Italian artist
would get much more consideration than they have if their stories received a
better treatment. Probably not all of them, not the youngest maybe, but all
the "middle young" generation gets underestimated like this.
In the '80's they had started using glossy paper, on issue 1516, but later
stopped with issue 1546... I guess that's one of the reasons the third
installment of the Ice Sword trilogy is the "worst", because it was on 1517!
If only they realized this... then we'd just have to moan about the scripts,
but that's another matter :-)
