Maybe Topolino e le delizie natalizie. They have it in the "comic book"
size, taking it from "Maestri Disney", article included.

Let me add that if any of you have now seen this story and discarded as "Oh
my God what is this thing!!" and plan never to take a look a PKNA stories
again I ask you to think again. The art of that issue was *really*
experimental... and with "really" I do mean **really** (personally, I hate
it, to be honest :-).
But later issues' art is often better... for example issue #0/2 is one of
the finest piece of disney art I've seen in a long time.

Hellou.

There has been quite some interest around our IRC chat room at

irc.duckburg.dk (port 6667)

Type: /join #dcml

but in some cases people just pop in for 5-10 seconds, say "hi" and
logs out again.

Now, it's quite difficult (even *if* you are active at your PC) to have
time to minimize your applications and send an answer so quickly.

Please, stay on for a little bit longer :-)

Since Kriton is going to cease translating KOMIX
articles , let me say this - already pretty out of
date - thing , before it becomes , TOTALLY , outdated
!!!
A few months ago , in an interview with Don , he
said " There are no more Western comic books in
America anymore " , or , words to that effect .
If that is what he actually said , I assume that he
meant it metaphorically - some Western
titles/characters DO , and HAVE , come out from major
and minor characters , in the last few years DC's
revived 1970s concepts " Weird Western Tales " , and "
El Diablo " , on their adult-aimed Vertigo line , and
one or two Jonah Hexes , one Tomahawk , Marvel's put
out a mini-series called " Blaze Of Glory " , using
their 50s/60s Western characters , the
nostalgia/reprint-oriented AC Comics had released a
slew of reprints , in B&W , of 1940s/1950s material (
and , a few new stories , as well . ) , the
now-defunct Topps put out a , apparently rather
aggressively " modern " , Lone Ranger mini-series that
I saw a " send mail protesting this ( even if you
haven't read it " notice about , in a column for
old-time Western fans , plus at least one issue , from
another publiser , reprinting the Cary Bates-scripted
LS syndie sstrip from about the early
1980s...Doubtless there have been others .
It's certainly not very much , and I won't argue
with Don's main point...It's even accurate to point
out that Jonah Hex's successful run , really , ended
15 years ago...I guess it could be said , too , that
most of these Western comics of modern times are less
" nice/innocent " than the
once-common-in-the-40s-and-50s liscenced
character-based ones...But , then , I understand that
, also , a lot of the European Western comics are a
lot less " nice " than the American ones , of the
40s/50s , were , too !!!!!!!!!

While finishing the sending off of my #2 letter , I
saw an advertisment , here in Yahoo! , for the " ALI "
- starring Will Smith - biographical movie , that's
going to open here , in the U. S. , on Dec 25th (
Ironic for , perhaps , the world's most famous convert
TO Islam FROM Christianity , no ??????????? )
Now , all we need is something about the Bingham

production about Don's life started !!!!!!!!!!! ( Okay

KRITON to GARY:

> Um, I wasn't suggesting that Greek readers should stop buying Komix,
> only that they do not take over my monthly "column" in the DCML!!!
> Did I use a wrong expression?

I've already expressed to Kriton my reservations over his decision to cease
"his" monthly column on KOMIX's contents (I put "his" in quotes, since he
had held it in "trust" after I left for the U.S. for a few months in 2000
:-)). Let me state here that I believe that stopping the monthly column will
not hurt Terzopoulos as much as it will the dcml members--the reason I had
started the KOMIX column 4-5 years ago was to inform the dcml members and
not to promote KOMIX. I have the same intention with my new column on the
remaining of the Disney titles. After all, this list is called Disney Comics
Mailing List. Kriton has the right to cease doing the translations and the
presentations himself, but I think that it's unfair to ask from others to
follow suit...I think that dcml members should be given the information and
decide on their own as to whether they like KOMIX or not...

I, too, am very upset at KOMIX's attempt to become a "generic" comic-book by
including in its pages non-Disney stuff. (BTW, are there other instances
around the world where non-Disney characters are appearing alongside Disney
ones in the *same* comic-book?). It's not a matter of *purism*, as Gary
implied. It's a simple, practical matter: when I buy a Disney magazine, I
want to read Disney stories.

KRITON to HARRY:

I believe that Harry is referring to the few "articles" by Gladstone's owner
Bruce Hamilton on various old, rare Disney comics (for sale).

Luca guessed correctly: KOMIX mentions a "Scarpa 1954 Christmas story" and
that can only be "Topolino e Le Delizie Natalizie", Martina/Scarpa.

I'm not an Italian reader, but I subscribe to a total of 6 titles and news
like this is absolutely fantastic! However, you didn't mention the book in
which this story will appear; given that it's a MM story, it can't be ZIO
PAPERONE. Could this story appear in the next "I MAESTRI DISNEY ORO"
dedicated to Scarpa? I need to know this so that I won't miss it! :-)

Cheers,

Archontis

And the Italiar reades shall read another Scarpa's Xmas story, in the
meantime, in a brand new version unpublished (in this version) in all the
world. A very likable Xmas present, I say... Its title logo reminds
"Topolino e Le Delizie Natalizie" VERY MUCH.
Ellsworth and Atomino, with Eega Beeva, too, star in it!

Bye!

I'm looking at the www.donald.no pages, in
what turns out to be a futile attempt at
finding an option for
"I accidentally missed buying DD & Co. # x,
and would like to order it now!"
Then I bumped into a questions-and-answers
column, where readers (that's you and me) can
post questions and have them answered by
"an expert Donaldist" (?).

(To check this, go to "send post", then to "Dette lurer
jeg p?!", and after this finally to "Dette har vi f?tt
svar p?!"; "these questions have already been answered".
Oops, I read now that these particular questions & answers
are also being published in the weekly DD&Co. Which means
that the particular answer I'm taking an issue with below
also must have appeared in 200,000 copies, some time ago.)

The Question I am focussing attention on now is this:
"Why do H,L, and D say/express their sentences `together'?"

And the Answer given, which I dislike, or disagree with,
is as follows:

"They got that habit in the animated cartoons. Probably
because their voices sound alike, and therefore making
it difficult to hear who says what."

Well: this is BESIDES THE POINT, imVho,
H: "and certainly ..."
L: "... doesn't answer ..."
D: "... the question posed!"
H,L,D do not talk like that "_because_ their voices sound
alike" or "_because_ it is difficult to hear who ways what".

The real answer must lie deeper, forming an integral, important
and fascinating part of their common psychologial heritage.
They are privileged (but perhaps, occasionally, confused)
by their sameness. They don't just have 99.9999 percent
of their genes in common, as any list member here has
with anyone else on the list (I'm quoting something I heard
a while ago, about the incredible likeness of all humans,
as measured in this particular way), but much more, as
in "virtually all". And they have been monozygotically raised
together.

This has led to an impressive degree of simultaneous,
synchronised thinking, and thence speaking. It is beyond
the imagination of most of us, but I have experienced
and heard similar accounts (but to a lesser degree)
from (monozygotic) twins I have met. For H,L,D it is
clear that this has grown into a major advantage in life,
where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
They are smarter, wiser and happier (most of the time)
than they would have been had they been born at
separate time points.

So, why doesn't Egmont write this in their column?!

Are there Barks stories, or other Duck stories, where one of
the three spends significant amounts of time apart from
the other two?

Because they would need a whole weekly to explain the words? 8-)

I can think of a few: "The Mummy's Ring" and "McDuck of Arabia".

Stories with *very* brief separations: "Notre Duck" and the story about the
fountain of youth.

What about the Atlantis story? I don't remember the details (I'm currently
on a non-Barks diet).
