I found a web address for the swedish book
fair: http://www.bok-bibliotek.se/indexeng.htm
But I didn't find it very informative. Well, if you look closely, you
can find out how to get there, and so on. Prices, other things. But it
doesn't say anything about what times different events will take place.
Olivier:
Yes, I'm going to the fair (I live in G?teborg, so it would be silly not
to! :) And the fair is an exciting place! It's very big, and there are so
many things to see, and you always come home with something fun. Last time
I got a painting of a sheep hanging after a balloon. (Hmm, you wouldn't
understand what is fun by that if you don't know me better, but I have a
strange relationship to sheep, and big balloons) And the time before that
I met our friend Don Rosa. That was an interesting day for me - I had
sneaked in with the aid of my mother, who was there as a journalist (the
first day, "ordinary" people aren't allowed in, just specialized people,
so I wasn't allowed to come...) We went to a comic thing in a seminar
room, where some famous swedes talked, and then Don Rosa turned up and
received a price, and talked some.
Afterwards my mother disappeared, I stood and waited for some inspiration
to come, because I didn't know where to go. And then Don came out of the
door as well, standing by himself waiting for someone (do you remember
this Don? It was a couple of years ago). "Now or never" I thought, and
went to him to shake hands and introduce myself. A bit shaky, because I'm
usually a bit nervous, and I *never* go forth to talk to people who don't
know me just like that (swedish behaviour I suppose... swedes are somewhat
cautious concerning other people). "what am I doing???", I thought wildly,
"and what am I going to say next?" (My english is rusty when not
practised, and I do mean rusty, I can hardly say a word when I get
nervous!:) But I didn't really have to say anything, Don was very nice and
we talked a while.
So nice things happen at those fairs!
yawn... (it's late, which means that I could continue writing for a long
while, without saying much of importance). Btw, are there others then me
out there who are fascinated by mallards? (I hope I've got the right word
now, I'm talking about birdies who look like ducks, and swim around in
lakes and small rivers, the female is brown
and the male is beautifully green on the neck). All (few) I know who

They are so adorable going around with there flat foots pointing slightly

From: "M.J. Prior" <M.J.Prior at let.rug.nl>
>>>In Barks' 'A Christmas for Shacktown' (1952) Donald disguises
himself as his great uncle Jake, hoping to soften his uncle
Scrooge's heart.
It isn't actually mentioned in this story that Jake McDuck at that
time lived in the United States, but as Scrooge isn't surprised to
find him living in America instead of having died somewhere in
Scotland, it could be assumed that Jake McDuck once moved to
the States.
As mr. Don Rosa is the man that revived uncle Jake, it might be
interesting to read his opinion on this particular subject.
Okay...
I have long since considered the meaning of this sequence in "Xmas for
Shacktown", if any. And I decided there is none beyond the fact that it at
least tells us $crooge has/had an Uncle named Jake. I made a mental note
that nothing else in that scene would force me to say anything else for
certain about Jake if I ever used him again. We see Donald finding a
picture of Jake in a scrapbook, but Donald may not have known anything else
about him for certain... perhaps Jake died 50 years earlier? And even
though $crooge seemed to not be surprised to see his long-dead uncle show
up, I knew I could always say that $crooge could see it was Donald in
disguise, especially if $crooge knew it couldn't possibly actually be his
dead uncle. And he put on the act about the loaned shilling (was it?) for
Donald, just to flummox him. Frankly, in my view of this Universe, Jake
would surely be dead by 1952 (time of the "Shacktown" story), or else he'd
be well over 110 years old.
I had originally planned to have Jake as a character in my "Vigilante of
Pizen Bluff", "Lo$" part 3.5, as the Uncle whom $crooge has a wild west
adventure with, but I then decided that Uncle Pothole the pulp-fiction
writer would be more fun.

I've been too busy with my Last Kiss comic strip and Last Kiss comic book to
do much writing for Egmont for quite awhile now. So I don't know how much
interest there will be in this, but I'll be a guest at The Expo (comic book

This?ll be the first time I?ve attended a comic con that wasn?t on the West
Coast of the United States. I?ve heard great things about The Expo and I?m
really looking forward to it.
In addition to my Last Kiss art and comics, I'll be bringing some of my

OK, but what if no stories are written on the subject, can't one still have
a fact in one's mind? One example; we all know that Hortense and Quackmore
have had sex at least once (since they're somebody's parents), but we will
NEVER see them having sex in the weekly. In the same way, I can input the
fact in my head that Daisy is Della's sister-in-law and believe in that
personally, and KNOW that Donald's sister married Daisy's brother, even
though this probably never will be revealed in a DD story. Duckburg is in
Calisota, USA - not in Greece.

I know. And I knew that this was a barksian fact. But I was thinking of
IGNORING that fact. I have ignored a few facts before - in "Horsing Around
With History" (D94003 Barks / van Horn), where all their equipment was as
picked out of the 90's. As you may know by now, I want all stories to find
place in the 1950's, so that we don't have to deal with eternal characters
(which I would call a mess). I also ignored "From Duckburg to Lillehammer"
(D93287 Rosa) on the same reason. I wanted to ignore the fact that Barks
(and Rosa through the family tree) made Quagmire Scrooge's grand uncle
because I H*A*T*E*D the thing about Quagmire being wealthy and Dingus being
a poor miner - since their brotherhood probably never was planned, as they
were mentioned in two different Barks stories (and correct me if I'm wrong,
but wasn't Dingus only mentioned in one sentence in "Hound of the
Whiskervilles"?). Therefor, I wanted to erase Quagmire from the family tree.
But now that you wonderful people on the mailing list have told me that he
wasn't rich, I don't feel that urge to remove him any more.

Really? I thought Barks never used Ludwig. But that makes the whole
character a little bit more serious. I now have a new definition on Ludwig -
I think of him as the BOYFRIEND of Matilda McDuck in some years while she
lived in Duckburg. Of course, that is not enough to put him into the family
tree (when it's not as complicated as Gilles Maurice's family tree), but I
will try to add a Ludwig biography on my site a.s.a.p.
M.J. Prior:
>(Jake must have become incredibly old, for both

Donald never knew Jake except from the family album, and Scrooge probably
saw right through the disguise. Would Scrooge kick out his own uncle because
of some debt? I really don't think so! I believe that Scrooge made up that
debt right there so that he could punish Donald for dressing up like Jake.
You shall honour the dead(s?).

In the unrevealed schetches of Lo$ part 11, we see that Hortense and

he didn't, so they at least got married. Another question is why Daphne
Duck, mother of Gladstone, waited so long to have children. Maybe she was
much younger than her brother?

Well, it was in the early years (1952), so it's possible. And after all, he
was created
after Ebenezer Scrooge, who chose the wrong path in his youth and preferred
money
to the love of a young girl. And he doesn't exactly kick him out.
And one year later, in Jan '53 (WDC&S 148, "Turkey with all the Schemings",
album 22),
he doesn't see through Donald's much thinner disguise.
I guess there are two ways to read it.

I merely wanted to point out that under Greek law you cannot become your
own grandfather, arguing that this is a good thing, given that Twain
argues that this is a bad thing by making the circumstances under which
one can become one's own grandfather part of a fictional suicide note,
rather than, say, an award. I certainly did not interpret Twain's writing
as a true account of a suicide!

I merely wanted to point out that under Greek law you cannot become your
own grandfather, arguing that this is a good thing, given that Twain
argues that this is a bad thing by making the circumstances under which
one can become one's own grandfather part of a fictional suicide note,
rather than, say, an award. I certainly did not interpret Twain's writing
as a true account of a suicide!

I'm not from Oslo, but I know the answer: Tronsmo - sometimes called the
most radical book shop in Norway. I think they're also the publishers of
the Don Rosa books.
Tronsmo is located by the tram station of Tullinlokka. It's got a whole
lot of great books on politics, music, philosophy, pop culture, history,
arts etc. (Including the cook book "White Trash Cooking" 1 and 2.) In the
basement they've got the comic book section -- the hazy backalley basement
you wanted ;)

Sure. Why do you ask? I don't think that has a relation to what I was saying

Note that Barks also used Dumbo, Zeke Wolf and Br'er Fox. I don't think that
makes them "more serious" characters.
Yes, Barks did not write the stories with these characters, he only drew
them. But he didn't write the appearance of Von Drake himself either.
Sure, Von Drake exists, if you want. But not solely because Barks used him
once in a gag that he didn't write.
--Harry.

Subject: The new Don Rosa book
>>>>Don :
What kinda drawing will be in the new finnish book?
There will be lots of drawing in the Finnish book -- oodles of little
square drawings to tell ten new and old stories.
Are you asking what sorts of *original* drawings will be in the book? NONE
in the 50,000+ normal edition! Whew! I put original drawings into only the
100 leatherbound books in the limited edition. #21-100 will have a large
head of Donald or $crooge with various expressions. Then #1-20 will have
full-color scenes from the stories in the volume, either from the old
reprints or from the new "Crown of the Crusader Kings" story. These will
become more complex with more characters as you regress from #20 back to #1
until that first edition will have the final scene from "Crown" with 7
characters and props, etc. Also, I had a new idea this time, and I also
used an exacto knife to get more creative by cutting appropriate holes into
a number of the pages. For example, one page depicts the sword fight
between $crooge and Ackers McCovet from "His Majesty McDuck", and I have
$crooge's sword cutting a long slash out of the title page. On other pages
I have the Beagle Boys with saws cutting the titles off the page and making
off with them. On the other pages, I try to work the titles into the
drawing, such as covering them with snow on a page where a polar bear is
about to eat Donald. Stuff like that there.
I'm asking the Finnish publisher to make copies of the 20 color scenes and
print them somewhere, perhaps in the regular edition book, so everyone will
know the answer to your question.
