>>>>>>>>TO DON:
In your story "D96001", I think the original title contains the words
"gravity" and "matter", but I don't have the time to check,

My title was "A Matter of Some Gravity". By the way, that's a clever title
(ahem) in English, but it's untranslatable. "Gravity" means both the force
that holds us to the earth's mass, and the measure of how serious or
"grave" something is. When you say something is "a matter of some gravity",
it means it's a matter of some seriousness. That phrase had a double
meaning as regards that story. Anyway...

>>>>at page 12 panel
1, we can see on a board in Duckburg's airport names of cities which the
flights are going to. IN the french version, those are Tombouctou, Puerto
Povro, Costa Trouya, Louisville, and Mickeyville, the french for
...Mouseton... Did you really do it, Unca'Keno, or is it just a mistake by
the translators???

I'm sure they don't think of it as a "mistake". They don't realize that I
don't acknowledge the existance of Mickey Mouse in my version of this
"universe". But if you're asking if *I* put that name on the flight list...
NO. I did include "Louisville" (near to where I'm typing this) in my script
in the signage notes, but that was all.

I will be there at about 2 o'clock (and so will Dani?l and Fran?ois).
In any case, we will be near the "Donald Duck" stand at 15:00, in case
anyone likes to meet us.

Also have a good look at the Daan Jippes exhibition. There is a (small)
poster there, advertising our Inducks database.

Is so interesting like was when Sue Storm married Reed Richards, but in the
FF are continuity...
But like was resolved the continuity in Pato Donald? Was all a dream like in
the cartoon where Daisy become a really witch?

Thats works in Spanish too... would be "Un asunto de cierta gravedad"...

>>>Rather an adaptation.
I don't have the French version. The aiport is "Coot International
Airport". The original board ("A Matter of Some Gravity", WDC&S 610, March
'97--
ah, the good ol' Gladstone days!) reads:
Flight 109: Gooseville (11:02)
Flight 315: Farawaystan (11:37)
Flight 757: Costa Lotta (11:56)
Flight 214: Purto Pooro (12:14)
Flight 666: Louisville (Late)

You are making errors in assumption here, Olivier. First, the Gladstone
version is not the "original" ... it is a reprint of the earlier European
(Egmont) uses of that story. And you cannot always assume that they were
using my original script, word for word (though we usually tried to do
that). I just checked the original script again, and I indicated NO names
of cities to be on that flight schedule board. In the following panel where
Donald has one jammed in his mouth, my script indicates that that one
should say "LOUISVILLE", but I left the others up to Byron Erickson, and he
either created his own flight destinations for his "official" version of my
script, or he left it to the individual translators.
Anyway, I am still working on the "sorta sequel" to "A Matter of Some
Gravity" and should have it finished next week. I should avoid calling it a
sequel since that might suggest to someone it will involve gravity again,
or that it will be in any way as funny as the original. But the boss wanted
another short, fast-paced Magica story before I started my next overblown
opus, so this seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time.

>>>All this time I had thought you had meant it the way physicists think
of:

manifestation of this is gravitation. Oh, well.

Oh, well, yes, obviously, I meant that as well.

>>>Thats works in Spanish too... would be "Un asunto de cierta gravedad"...

Really? I had counted on the Spanish title to make a reference to how
matter affects the surrounding space-time by bending it, and the
manifestation of this is gravitation. Caramba!
