Hi friends
As told I've recently been in Holland.
I don't want to talk much about transportatation cause it's more cheap
than fast to go to Holland by route-bus...

Well, I arrived in Groningen at 9 saturday morning. Because of the
ducth train-system Duco didn't arrive at the main station before some
minutes later. Then we went to the store were Duco works. And to the
market, and back again to open the store. It's a nice comic-store named
after a dutch comic charecter Ambrosius. I browsed around all the
comics for some time, finding this and that album, magazine and pocket
book that I would like.
I found some thick Duck-books and some weeklies, and got the preview of
the coming publications form VNU and such.

Customers came and went, and they all talked dutch about comics. At 1
pm the owner of the store arrived. He was a nice and friendly person,
and talkative all 3 times we visitted the store.

After some talking Duco and I went to buy some things to eat in the
week. After fetching the stuff we took the train to Duco's part of
time. and went to Duco's house.

I know Duco was very happy about the things that made my bags heavy.
Scarpa, an old Milton comic, quite a stack of norwegian Rosas and the
newest danish Rosas.

I'm starting to realise I should have made a diary (in the notebook
that I lost?) or written this earlier, cause I can'?t part days from
eachother.
Every day was nice, reading comics, talking to eachother, going out to
eat a pizza (twice) and such.

Before more writing of comic stores I do remember what happened Sunday.
- I've known Harry Fluks via email and this list since 1998, but untill
that sunday I hadn't meat him.
But then, the bell rang and I did. We had a nice evening talking,
changing comics and looking at the interesting thing Duco has. Allready
at this time, my bags started to gain weight again, cause Harry had
brought with him the new holiday-book (with a nice story about Donald a
a peanut-seller and Scrooge losing his money), a stack of german
doubles - many of those with Rosa, some ducth doubles and two
Advance-things that first didn't attract my interest.
Later when I found out they had a parted Rosa-interview from the
beginning of the 90'es I got really interested. And later when I read
the interview, I exclaimed: That's the best interview with Don that I
read (becuase of certain things stated there).
Harry brought his camera, and so did I, so we had some fun taking
photoes of the 2/3 of us in interesting places. On Harry's photo-page
you can, so far, see the photoes Harry took (on pic. 3 my camera is
shown). I really had some problems with the zoom! The green
"too-close-indicator" seemed to blink all the time. In a couple of days
I'll get my photoes back from the developer and scan them - Harry will
show some on the same page.

The talking went on, about certain Barks-stories, ducth reprints,
editors, indexes and such. Unfortunately Harry is allergic (to cats,
and Duco has 2/3 of them) so he had to leave, even though he thought
the cats were nice.
I have allergy too, but luckily not towards cats, and these ones I
really liked. My grass-allergy was hard on me some of the days.

One of the following days we went on the big round of comic-shops where
I found many things.
Holliday-books with Rosa-stories, weeklies with Milton-stories and
backcovers (from 1991).
In the store where those weeklies lied around, many in dreadfull state,
Duco claims he was in life danger because of boxes moving above
head-hight! Yikes... Luckily he got out alive and healthy, and brought
me a stack of DD Extras with Rosa-stories.
Duco also found some Scarpa in german pocket-books for himself here
(some looked like the ones I once found for Ole:-)
In the store were Duco works I found some more Milton backcovers, and
later Duco saw to it that my DD 1991 is complete. I hope it's easy to
replace those comics you took out, Duco!

Now, let me thank Duco for his great company, make him say hello to the
cats from me, and also thank him for unlimeted access to his huge
collection of comics that he likes. (Barks Library, complete
Rosa-collection and many many other things).
Thanks for coping with my company:-)

Thanks also to Harry for meeting me there, and for making sure my bags
were just as heavy when I went home as when I got there.

And thanks to A'dam Police for advicing me to stay at Shiphol (A'dam
Airport) for the night, as the trains didn't fit for the morning - I
had a good night there.

I wonder if any of you have read the story wich was in the newest Aku Ankka
magazine here in Finland (from some other comic-magazine, I mean). It was a
manga-version of Barks's
-Something Fishy Here- (?). Usually I find manga as a great type of comic,
but, in my humble opinion, it didn't work in a duck comic. It goes on too
slowly and the panels are in strange places (for occidental people, at
least).

I think that it was a nice "how would it work" kinda thing, but it wouldn't
work in Japan (with the ducks) and neither in here. What do YOU think?

respects, Eero-Pekka

I've not seen the exact issue or the story, but I've seen 4 or 5 other
manga-style disney comics in japenese and german.

I do think ti works for the japanese. I don't know if the magazine
still published
overthere, but I have no. 7 from 1999. It's in b/w cause colors are for
kids overthere.

The german comic was an adaption of Barks' Rainmaker story, and I
mentioned it
here some long time ago. Editor of the german weekly, Mr Stahl told us
that the
readers like the stories. And that's good enough for me - as long as
noone forces
*me* to read them. But now, I guess it's a question of time before we
see the stuff here,
and the kids will like it, as they like the monthly paperinik-magazine
(?)

>Could you scan a page or explain how it looks like, please?

I can't scan it, because the only scanner I own is an old black/white hand
scanner, wich is furthermore broken. And I have no access to any other
scanners in summer. Sorry.

But, I'll try to explain it as good as I can. If you've seen manga, you
should about know how it looks like: Only a couple of panels in a page (with
some expections), a little amount of text and quite distinct pictures (Don
Rosa could never draw manga!). It goes on slowly, so there are more pages in
this than the original. I don't know how to describe it... the panels are
all over the page, not in a strict order (their shapes are sometimes weird
too). This is all I can tell you about it. You would have to see it
yourself.

Eero-Pekka

Does anyone know where I might find those stories in Japanese? I don't
understand a word of the Finnish ;)

...it's a D-coded story, I think, published without code in 1990 here in
Brazil, on Margarida #113..., 12 pages, 4 tiers. The heroes are Donald and
Gladstone. Huey, Dewey and Louie appear too. I'm not sure about the
drawer...Torres maybe, I don't think it's Vicar...unfortunately I'm not with
my scanner!

I'm indexing some missing issues on Arthur Faria's collection, so it's
possible I ask about some others stories on the future! :)

On this story, Donald and Gladstone rent the same chalet on the hills
without knowing that and divide literally the chalet in half. Both of them
rent the things inside their half of the chalet to each other, till Donald
puts a ratchet on the division the set in the middle of the chalet. Then
Donald blows the pipes at Gladstone's side and doesn't have a quarter to go
back to his side and leave the chalet, since he used the phone at
Gladstone's side to call the plumbers. In the end the chalet is filled up
with water and both of them get arrested, and the police guys divide the
cell in half.
Very funny story on my oppinion! Specially this thing of putting a ratchet
on the midlle of the house! :) Ah, special thanks to my friend Andr?, that
helped me to translate the story's description to english!

Fernando!(soemone with serious translation problems...yet!)

Hi,

Both the sketches mentioned in the last digest were done for the colored
pencil drawings Carl did for his 96th birthday party at Walt Disney World. I
believe both drawings are reproduced in Carl Barks Treasury, also done for
the party.

The wrist watch signed by Carl with a full figure Scrooge on the dial was
Carl's gift to the dinner guests. Probably less than 300 were made, to be
sure each guest received one.

The wrist watch with the heads of Scrooge, Donald and the nephews was
available for one day only at the watch store in the Disney-MGM Studios park
on the day after the birthday party when Carl appeared in a parade honoring
him and put his hand prints and signature in a block of cement in front of
the Chinese Theater there. He also appeared at the animation gallery to meet
fans and sign different items. According to the manager of the watch store,
fewer than 30 of the watches were manufactured.

An interesting feature of the preliminary drawing for the Doom Diamond cover
is that the cover is marked "Walt Disney Productions" and drawing is stamped
"Walt Disney Company," which wasn't used until the early 1980s. Any ideas
about this? Was the drawing not done until after 1982 or simply not stamped
with the copywrite information until it was sold, presumably in the 90s?

There also are drawings by Don Rosa, William Van Horn and Patrick Block on
ebay from time to time. Recently, there were two really unusual Rosa drawings
on plastic comic book inventory dividers. At the moment, there are two first
day covers signed and with drawings by Rosa, for anyone who's interested.
