that their father and
his entire family has it.
I like know if this is a true fact. They are mention as "Huey Duck, Dewey
Duck and Louie Duck" in some story ? Pure curiosity...

>>>Is there something wrong with my memory, or have they still not printed
"The Treasure of the Ten Avatar" in Finland? It's one of my favorite Duck
adventure stories.
You are correct, it is your favorite.
No, I mean that you're correct, it hasn't ever appeared in Finland. But
they want to save that one for the next "Rosa hardcover" in two years.
> Aside from the "Crown of the Crusader Kings"
>>>Is this story finished? Can you tell us something more about it?
I think I've already mentioned (haven't I?) that it's another
preposterously historically accurate treasure hunt, this one involving the
Lost Treasures of the Knights Templar. The "Finnish connection" is key to
the plot but very brief, wherein $crooge meets the Finnish/Swedish explorer
A.E. Nordenskiold at the 1892 Columbian Expo in Chicago. Beyond that, you
should just wait and read it.
And yeah, I finished it months ago!
>>>What're you working on now/after that?
I've written a sort of "sequel" to "A Matter of Some Gravity" -- as much as
people might enjoy that same sideways-gravity idea, it seems like I should
not be repeating myself quite yet... so I've created a 13-page story
purposely with the same general plot progression of Magica snatching the
Dime and U$ & DD chasing her to the airport, only she has cast a different
sort of spell on them this time to make their chase difficult. Next week
I'll start to draw it.
But right at this moment I am drawing the full color illustrations on the
tip-in title pages of the leatherbound 100-volume limited edition version
of the Finnish book that the "Crusader Crown" story will be the title-story
of. I think they said that the regular edition has sold about 20,000 copies
so far (and it hasn't even been printed yet!)
Simultaneously, Dan Shane and I are creating a poster-version of our Money
Bin blueprints. It will be a "revision F" drawn in "Dec. 1951" (to
commemorate the Bin's 50th anniversary. These plans will not be
accompanying a story which dictates that they are the original 1902
version, so these drawings will be updated slightly and have some
corrections and new added details, such as for the coin shower in the
masterbath and the ejection-trapdoor-chute in front of U$'s desk. The
version we are working on now will be published in Swedish as a poster for
the Gothenburg Book Fair next month -- I didn't want to sit at the Egmont
booth signing that same Family Tree poster that I've been signing for about
9 years, so I suggested we add this Bin poster to the selection. Eventually
we'll probably do versions for other countries which might appear folded-up
in the center of the weekly.
So... you make me realize I'm doing three projects at once. Yikes.

I think so. I remember (but cannot check, now) one story from one of the
very first "Duck Album", maybe the very first. HD1L were mentioned as "De'
Paperini" in the italian version, on TL. Maybe the story was drawn by Dick
Moores. With some "facilities" it can be easy to look for what I mean. In
the next days I can do it, if you need it.

Very pleasing news, which I'll be sure to put in the new stories

Ah. It's a magic spell that is not nearly as funny as a sideways-gravity

In Barks' turkey shoot story (WDC 75), one nephew mentions his full

What I KNOW, is that they're mentioned as Huey Duck, Dewey Duck and Louie
Duck in Don Rosa's Duck family tree. It all depends on what you define to be
"true". Remember that no matter what you read, it may be "true" only in one
writer's head. If someone wrote a story revealing that Donald actually is an
alien and had sixteen children (all in different colors), would you think of
that as true?
I also recall a story where Donald tries to make the boys do something so
that he can read the newspaper without being disturbed. But no matter what
they do, they can't seem to do it without bothering a particular man (they
stand on each side of a road playing "phone" with two empty boxes and a
string and he snubles (aah! I CAN'T remember the correct word) over the
string, they lay out a wallet with a string which he picks up and they drag
in the string so that he falls, they paint a picture of Donald and sends it
up in a balloon and it falls down in this man's face). In the end of the
story, the four of them (HDL & Donald) are called down to the courthouse,
and when they are called into the courtroom, the man calling them in says
"Duck, Duck, Duck and Duck".
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think that often when HDL has been skipping
school, they have been mentioned as the Duck-kids.
I don't know if Carl Barks ever used the Duck-name.
But - a possibillity is that Donald have adopted them, and they have taken
HIS name. A sister of my grandfather was raised in another family than her
own, and she took that family's last name. But I don't like that to be
"true".

Well, I suppose I exagerated when did talk about a "true fact" refer to the
Duck last name. Indeed I don't think they would be named goose, moose or
mouse... But well that could be funny...
Imagine an elseworld when HD&L are adopted by Mickey Mouse... (wow isnt a
great idea?) What would became Mickey: he would turn in... somebody like
Donald or Andy Panda?
About think what's true... remember the words of Aleister Crowley in his
book MAGICK
"In this book it is spoken of the sephiroth & the paths, of spirits &
conjurations,
of gods, spheres, & planes & many other things which may or may not exist.
It is immaterial whether they exist or not. By doing certain things,

Hi,
The World's Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893, not 1892. It
opened May 1, 1893 and closed October 30, 1893. The first commemorative
United States stamps (16) and coins (25c and 50c) were issued in honor of the
event. Had he been willing to pay the cost of a ticket, Scrooge could have
ridden on the first Ferris Wheel, seen belly dancer Little Eqypt and heard
soprano Adelina Patti, among many others, perform at the fair.

Of said Exposition, here's what future president Teddy Roosevelt had to say
in a June 8, 1893 letter to James Brander Matthews, editor of Atlantic
Monthly:
"The buildings make, I verily believe, the most beautiful architectural
exhibit the world has ever seen. If they were only permanent! That south
lagoon, with the peristyle cutting off from the lake, the great terraces,
the grandeur and beauty of the huge white buildings, the statue, the fine
fountains, the dome of administration building, the bridges guarded by
colossal animals - well, there is simply nothing to say about it. And the
landscape effects are so wonderful. In the fine-arts building, by the way,
did you not like the "Death arresting hand of the sculptor," and the "Peace
Sign," the quiet pose of the naked warrior on the naked horse?"
Yet, he does not mention the works of Westinghouse, Edison, Krupp and
Carnegie that were displayed and missed Frederick Jackson Turner, President
Cleveland and the Spanish Infante and a few heirs of Columbus.

John Garvin, concerning the Carl Barks Tribute panel at San Diego:
> Can someone who attended this give us a report on it? Who was there?
> What was said? Anything interesting? Thanks,
Susan and I were there, and here's not so much a report as an impression:
Bruce Hamilton, Russ Cochran, Don Rosa, Byron Erickson, Russell Myers, and
E. C. Harvey made up the panel, with Mark Evanier officiating. What was most
interesting to Susan and me was seeing Bruce, Russ, and Byron all in one
place for one purpose, honoring the Duck Man. These three men were the
lynchpins in the Another Rainbow/Gladstone story, making the Carl Barks
Library and the Gladstone Disney comics possible, but they've gone their
very separate ways since.
We'd arrived a few minutes after the panel had started, and heard anecdotes
we'd pretty much heard before. (Even Bruce's announcements about the
impending comics license and the new Fine Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck
book were rather old news to us.) But most folks there hadn't, and were very
keen and attentive as the panelists gave of their memories and experiences
in the time they had. In fact, though the place wasn't packed by any means,
we thought the panel was surprisingly well attended, with such notables as
Anna Maria Vind, Bob Foster, and John Lustig, among others, in the audience.
Considering the state of things here in America, it was probably as decent a
tribute to Carl Barks in that venue as one could hope for.
And in case anyone's wondering: Yes, the license does appear to be on the
verge of happening, and a new, revised edition of the Fine Art book is in
the planning stages, so some good things may finally actually happen. We'd
just advise everyone to keep in mind that it's taken over two-and-a-half
years to get to this point, and even yet no one seems to know exactly what
point's been reached.
