One of the things I'd like to see would be a Disney-licensed site, where
one would be able to purchase scans of any story ever published, rather
than having to rely on someone publishing a favorite story somewhere,
in a language that one can read. Perhaps, one day, we will have the
technology to make this possible without compomising Disney's copyright,
and such a site will come into being.

You mean like the equally "fixed attribute" of Hercules wearing a lion
skin (complete with head) rather than a vest or whatever it is that
Hollywood's perversion of Hercules is wearing in the TV series?

My guess is that people who are only peripherally aware of other peoples'
mythologies, are only aware (if at all) of the most prominent details
surrounding a myth, making erroneous assumptions about the rest. While
I'd never portray Hercules wearing a vest, given that he is part of my
mythology, I had no idea that Thor rode a goat-driven chariot. In fact,
were it not for Barks' story, I wouldn't even know that he rode a chariot
in the sky at all!

If I understand correctly, this panel was added by Don in the expanded
version, which was made after the story had won the award.

This reminds me of an imaginary book mentioned in an article by Douglas
Hofstadter on self-reference, titled "Reviews Of This Book". You'd start
up with an empty book, give it to reviewers to review, then print their
reviews in the second edition of the book, then give them the second
edition to review, so that you could add their reviews in the third
edition, and so on!

AZURE BLUE: You don't need *that* useless thing anymore!
SHARKEY: Nixus totus dumporum--meaning "don't bear a cross when it's
not necessary!"

[BTW, I thought I'd caught Don making a mistake, saying "anymore" rather
than "any more", but my American dictionary claims that "anymore" is
the correct word to use in this context. Does anyone know if this is an
American idiom? My British dictionary does not mention this word.]

Yes, almost (don't forget the people who went to school before Swedish
became a mandatory for everyone) I meant to say "Swedish-like language
speakers who don't speak Finnish". I should be more careful in what I say.

Harry:
>(Or maybe they are "officially" non-existant?)

No, we prefer not doing that kind of things in Finland (although Sami and
some other smaller groups have had some problems). For historical reasons
language rights of Finnish-Swedish population have always been very well
protected.

You mentioned that when it was in stores, but I forgot to get it! I think I
go to hit my head to the wall.

You're right. There is no evidence on that. But it is an unofficial Don Rosa
fact. I like that fact, therefor I adopted it into my mind.

Don Rosa have said many things about his Duck Family tree (most of them I've
read at www.duckhunt.de) and among other things he mentions that the father
of HDL is the brother of Daisy. This explains how they got the "Duck" name.

As a Don Rosa fan, I think of most of the things he say - even those that
are not published - as true (examples; the Ducks' years of birth, the HDL
father = Daisy brother thing etc.). Of course there's exceptions, but this
detail is not one of them.

Was that an answer to your question? :) Remember that everything I say is
what's going on inside MY head. Maybe the inside of your head is completely
different. Maybe it's not possible to find two similar heads in the entire
world. Have a nice day!

Why do you think that HDL are related to Daisy and AMJ? I have never seen
any evidence of that.

It sure was!

(I'm sure our heads are completely different. But that is not relevant...

CARL BARKS original drawing
Item # 1178478313
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1178478313

Here is the original CARL BARKS pencil layout for JUNIOR WOODCHUCKS #10,
"Maple Sugar Time", page 6, from 1971. The ink work was completed by
staff artists at Western Publishing. Pencil on heavyweight paper,
measures 12" x 9" (30,5 x 23 cm). Has several tiny pinpricks in the
upper right corner and has once been folded horizontally and vertically
(barely visible). Otherwise in very good condition. Great quality, full
satisfaction guaranteed! From the collection of noted comic book historian
and Carl Barks Library co-editor Thomas Andrae, comes together with a
certificate of authenticity written by him. The complete pencil script
is published in the Carl Barks Library vol. VI, 1, p.194-197. I had the
whole story up on eBay during the last months and only one other page left.

When they are sold, that's it! Some days ago a handwritten letter by
Carl Barks with drawings of Donald and a nephew sold for $710 on eBay.
Here you can get *15* ducks (including Scrooge) for less! Please feel
free to eMail with any question and have a look at my other auctions.

[Indeed, the pencil script is published in The Carl Barks Library, in
a quality that is good enough to read, but too bad to do justice to
Barks' original art. Do good, detailed quality reproductions exist of
the Junior Woodchuck scripts? DvE.]
