I am trying to locate a reference to the subject of tatting (a type of
lacemaking) for my home page:
http://www.tribbler.com/tatman/
I have an extensive list of references to tatting that have occurred in
various literature from 1842
to date; many of them have come from hearsay sources that I have followed
for years. There have
reportedly been several Disney tatting references and so far I have only
located one of these from
the 1949 cartoon "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and I have a video capture of
it on my site at:
http://www.tribbler.com/tatman/ select menu Misc/Misc Info/In Print scroll
to 1949 Click on link.

Another sighting states (please take with a grain of salt as character &
date could be wrong) that
a 1960-70's Donald Duck comic book has Daisy Duck making tatting for a
church bazaar. My
question is: has anyone on this list ever seen a Disney comic book that has
any character doing or
referring to tatting and if so, do they have an accurate citation and/or
copy/scan (Walt Disney Inc.
has readily given permission to use items) to share,

Many thanks,

Hi

About a year ago, F.A. Elliott (I don't know if you're still here or
not) announced his video interview with Don Rosa to this mailing list. I
volunteered to record the interview from a VHS video tape to my computer
in order to upload it to the internet and share it with other Rosa fans.
Mr. Elliott approved this, but I ended up not doing it after all since
the file would be extremely large.

Now I *have* digitally recorded the interview, though I decided not to
in the first place, and I am looking for a place to store it on the web.
It seems, however, nearly impossible to find a place that will accept
such a large file and do it for free. Especially since I don't plan to
make a webpage but simply link to the file from my existing webpage.

I have made the interview in two versions:
"Small": 100.6 mb - 208 x 160 pixels
Large: 679.2 mb - 480 x 360 pixels
(duration: both 105 mins)

My own account at a webhotel doesn't support this much space (and
increasing the amount costs a fortune) -- So, now my question is; does
anyone here have the possibility to store the interview (at least the
small version -- the large one fits best on a cdrom, I guess) at a
public web server for indefinite time for fans to download?

Hope to hear from some of you. Best wishes,
Thomas Pryds Lauritsen

Or "simply" cut the file in 130 parts and put it in 15 Yahoo briefcase accounts ;-)

I can help you for up to 90 Mb myself but not more.

Hello!

I don't know about Daisy tatting anything, but Donald is advised by his doctor to try crochet to
relax and sleep in WDC&S 101 (Feb '49, WDC&S album 14). I can't scan right now, though-- there are
several panels to scan-- but will as soon as possible (certainly not this week). Maybe someone else
can.

Hope it helps,

Olivier

Actually, there are at least 4 additional Duck oil paintings:

1. "Happy Hour", 1995/1996, a Scrooge portrait, unpublished.
2. "I Wonder What My Fortune Cookie Says", 1996/1997, published in a
Dreidreizehn ?lgem?ldekalender, also released as a lithograph.
3. "Old Castle Secret", 1996/1997, published in a Dreidreizehn
?lgem?ldekalender.
4. "Scrooge Smokewriting Dollar Signs", 1997, unpublished.

Plus a handful of Duck watercolors most of which have been published as
lithographs.

I'm not sure, either, to what extent Barks himself was involved in all
those porcelaine and bronze figurines which were released by the "Carl
Barks Studio". It would be interesting to get more information on this
topic.

(Is this my first posting on this list? Hi, everybody!)

Last week, the Dutch album OOM DAGOBERT #66 has come out. Title: "Het
verschrikkelijke oplosmiddel" (The Terrible Solvent).

This is the first publication by "Sanoma Uitgevers b.v.". This is
(apparently) the new name of VNU Tijdschriften: this company was taken over
by Sanoma in Finland. (Only last week I bought a pocket book that was still
published by VNU.)

The cover is a recreation of an American cover, which was originally made
for a completely different story. Maarten Janssens redrew it, and tried to
make it look "as Rosa as possible"...

The album contains reprints of Rosa stories (from DD Extra), plus text
pieces and copies of French illustrations.

In the introductory text, they introduce "Keno Don Rosa", and then talk
about "Don Rosa" for the rest. It occurred to me that the Dutch editor may
actually think that "Don Rosa" is a surname.

On one page, 4 "French" illustrations are shown. Every illustration has a
small text explaining which Barks story it refers to. Unfortunately, the
wrong texts are with the wrong illustrations...

On another page, they reprint (most of) a Picsou poster: the one showing a
gallery of Scrooge+Mickey+Donald drawings. The accompanying text says:
"For the French monthly "Picsou Magazine", Don Rosa made this illustration,
which was added as a poster to the magazine. They wanted to make clear that
Mickey Mouse should actually play a role just as big as the one of the
popular Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the other Duckburg inhabitants. In Walt
Disney's case, the success started with this mouse, and without Mickey
Donald Duck would probably never have existed..." [Bad translation by me -
HF]

I haven't read such nonsense yet in a Dutch Disney album.

It's debatable if Donald would have existed without Mickey (After all, DD's
debut was without Mickey. Maybe the Silly Symphonies would have become
popular without the MM cartoons).
But apart from that: Don did not draw a single line of this poster for
Picsou! The poster is a compilation of 4 covers that Don did for Gladstone
(for the "WDC in Color" albums). They only contain Mickey because the
Gladstone albums included stories by Donald, Scrooge, and Mickey. The whole
reasoning ("They wanted to make clear") makes no sense at all. I wonder
where they got the idea from. (I'll ask them later this week.)

Anyway, apart from the editorial texts, the album looks beautiful. And it
contains one of my favourite Rosa stories ("A Matter of Some Gravity").
