Very willing to help, but, could you provide some more info, please? For
example, number of pages, featured characters, a short resume of the plot...
and, any idea about who might be the artist?

"Poison Island" is "I AT 106- B" (search for "Poison Island" at
http://www2.ec-lille.fr/willot/coa/c1/). No idea for the second one, can you
provide more information?
This is a good occasion to introduce a new page:
http://www2.ec-lille.fr/willot/coa/c1/add.php
There you can index comics (without having to know abbreviations and such).
Your index will then be added to the database.

Has anyone seen the MM dailies lately? Neither MercuryCenter.com or
DilbertZone.com carries it, so where to look?
By chance I discovered the name of the artist, a "T. Lewis" probably more famous
for his work on "Over the Hedge".

Well, the Dutch population is not *that* small (16 million people). Bigger
than any Scandinavian country, while the number of people from Scandinavian
countries is quite large here...

Hi folks,
I think Don Rosa's "views" on Fethry prove that he hasn't bothered to learn
what or who this character is. When I was a kid in Denmark back in the
sixties I was annoyed by Fethry, and I generally didn't like the stories in
which he appeared. Later on, and especially after reading Jon Gisle's book
Donaldismen, it dawned on me that the fact that the character was annoying
was in fact the fact that made him a good character. In other words: Fethry
works! Fethry stories work! At least the Kinney/Hubbard-created Fethry
stories work. And that's a fact!

That depends on how you look on the animals...
In the real world, a horse can breed with a donkey and make a mule. (=muldyr
in Norwegian, I think that's the word?) But a mule can't breed with another
mule and have children from that. In other words, a horse can have children
with a donkey, a duck can maybe have children with a goose and a monkey can
probably have children with an elephant. But none of these can children
again give birth to new animals.
What the situation's like in Duckburg is that we have tons of tons of
animals... no, we don't. They're all "humanized". They think like humen,
they walk like humen, they talk like humen and they dress like humen. They
just look different.
Therefor, I don't think of the animals in Duckburg as animals, but I look at
them as several breeds of the human rase - just like caucasians, native
americans and african americans. And these can have children with each
other, can't they? (I think so?) You never see any humen in the comic saying
"how weird? a talking duck with a sailor's suit!"
I don't want to think of Gus Goose and Gladstone Gander as being sterile,
therefor I want this to be true. So that a duck and a goose can have a
not-sterile child - and probably a dog and a goose as well.
Sorry if you don't understand me, but I'm in a terrible hurry.

I could have written this myself (except that I never read Jon Gisle's book;
I learned to appreciate Fethry here on DCML, actually).
I think this indicates that the Fethry stories are annoying to *children*,
while (slightly...) older people love them.
The Dutch editors never grew up: they banned Fethry in 1974. 8-)

This looks like the program I had once suggested writing, for those
like me who find the database format daunting. Back then, the reaction
I got was that the format was simplicity itself, and that such a program
would be unnecessary. (I even got a confusing explanation of the format,
to which someone replied with an even more confusing answer, describing
various advanced tricks and obscure points.)
I'm sure you'll get plenty of submissions from this supposedly "useless"
form!
As for me, I find I have questions even on this simple form. Can you
explain what the following are:
* Sequence letter (a, b, c...)
* Broken page
* Description
* Part
And do you really index articles?!?
OLAF:

Actually, they can, but only for a generation or two. (And did you know
that you get a different kind of animal if you cross a male horse with
a female donkey than if you cross a male donkey with a human horse?
Only one of these two--I forget which--is actually useful as a beast
of burden, as the other is not as strong.)

If you mean physically, yes. If you mean whether they are allowed to
do so, there are several places where the practice is severely frowned
upon. :(

This indicates the order of the reprints in a comic-book. "a" for the first
story, "b" for the second one etc.

Partial number of page, when the last page of a story is incomplete.
Eg "7/8" for many Barks gags without the last panel - replaced by a "Dell
Pledge to parents".

A sentence describing the story or gag (you provide it if you think that's

Yes, if they are Disney related, and interesting enough to index (it's as
you want).
Since you took a look at them, maybe you can try it? I made it for Olivier
in the first place, but if it can be used by others, it would be even
better.
I think Francesco Spreafico indexed many Greek comics recently, but you
probably have issues that we haven't.
In any case (to ANYONE), feel free to try it and make any test you want, it
can not do much harm. (And if you have idea to make it more convenient, let
me know, and I'll see if I can improve it).

In reference to the bi-lingual web page ... I am glad you have done an

They were chucked in a cardborad box for the last 10 years ... so I am

I loved read them all as a kid, and only now understand why they were so

This list is taken from the Inducks where the "G-series" comics has the

The first comic issue indexed in the "OS-G" series is:

There is currently no Australian issue series with the "G" abbreviation.
Maybe someone can look at the Australian file and see what should or should
not be changed? (Mike?)
