Klein did draw a version. Nadorp redrew Klein's drawings.

I wasn't referring to capitals; I was referring to the spelling "ducth"
(twice) in your original letter.

Stories had no codes in the 1940s. So for Inducks we make them up.

Hello and help!

I'm trying to find the portuguese/brazilian names of the following
characters: "Olaf the Blue", "Azure Blue" and "Sylvester J. Sharkey". They
all appear, more recently, in "The Lost Charts of Columbus".

Thierry,

Where in my mail do I mention that this artwork is coming directly from the
Disney archives or the Abril archives ?

Some of the art and collectibles being sold on Disney Auctions comes from
the collections of private individuals (eg : the Lotman Collection).

The seller does not want us to reveal his identity but your answer is unfair
as it is based on way too few elements.

Thanks so much David and A.C. for sending me scans of the new "Silent Night"
first 1/2 page. They are FANTASTIC!!! Daan even outdid himself! His Donald
on the last panel and the Nephews could not be seen as not Barks, even by
Barks, himself! The splashpanel is great! Only the Donald sitting in his chair
has Daan's own distinctive style overshadowing that of Barks (and most people
probably don't have a problem with that. I think michel Nadorp is a good
artist, and was very happy with the job he did. But, I certainly would have
preferred in 1986, that Daan would have done the final artwork then. David, you
did a fine job on the script. In 1985, I should have put more of my own
(educated) guesswork into dialogue in those panels. Carl only told me
the "essence" of what was in the panels. He only told me that Donald was
sitting is his large easy chair, reading a book about the "Good Old Days", and
saying something like "Great Stuff! Great Stuff!". I dared not guess at what
else he said, so added nothing else. Had i thought more deeply about it; I
would have surmised, based on Barks' wont, that the story idea probably came to
him from his disgust with the overcommercialism of Christmas. He probably
wanted to play Donald's "discovery" of that idea off against the desires of the
Nephews for gifts. As is Donald's character, he carries the idea too far in his
actions. Barks used the "Great Stuff! Great Stuff! line in WDC 32, - so he
wouldn't have used it again, as is. He might have had some wording that
described his discovery that the old fashioned ways of celebrating Christmas
were "true". Then, he would have seen the Boys coveting gifts, and shown his
disgust. And then, he would have started pacing, thinking that the old
fashioned way is best (as we have from him in the lower portion of the page.

The story was, indeed slated for WDC 64, January 1946 (as seen in the payment
records). Carl told me nothing regarding the name or identity of the person
whom he gave the drawing. It is clear that he did not remember in 1966, or his
pal, Malcom Willits would have tried to track that person down; and we would
have the complete artwork, today. Malcom tracked down the many scattered pieces
of Barks' unpublished artwork.

Hi!

"Silent Night" was after all *not* a new Barks story!!! Thank you for the
very interesting and educational information on this story!
In the 100 pp Donald Duck & Co. #49/2001 (celebrating Disne'y Centennial
Day) the story was promoted as "NEW STORY BY BARKS!" and "published for the
first time in Norway". Neither in this add, nor in #50, Egmont said
*anything* about this being a 55 years old story!

To be hounest, I read a "brand new" story by Barks, probably scetched by
him, and drawn by the great Barks imitator Jippes! I thought it was done a
year or so ago, as Barks did do a *new* story, published in 1995, that
William vanHorn had drawn.

Had Gladstone still had their licence in the US, putting out this goodie to
their readers... It'd definitely be accompanied by background information.

Any Egmont-person reading this?

For David and other members interested in the question of different experience
for Donald's Nephews; here is the reference to the story written by Gorm
Transgaard and final drawn by Marcal Bresco:

"Female Distraction" ("Louie in Love") - D91384 11 pages
Louie falls in love with a girl in school. The other 2 are jealous of her
taking his attention away from their "3 Muskateers" trio. They try to bring him
back to his senses.

Published:

Danmark: Anders And Extra Nr. 5 from 1997

Sweden: Musse Pigg Nr. 5 from 1997

Norway: No book listed (Shouldn't it have also been printed in Extra 1997-5?)

Germany: Minnie Nr. 19 from 1997

Italy: MG 514
For those interested in seeing my original drawing of the first 1/2 page
of "Silent Night", A.C. Sivebaek will put it on a website as soon as he has
time. It is cuurently available to be seen (as is the version drawn by Michel
Nadorp) on one of Daniel van Eijmeren's websites. I'm sorry Daniel, I've lost
the URL. Could you please provide it for the group? I'm not sure, but
perchance a link to those sites is also provided on Harry Fluks' Bolderbast
site?

By the way Harry; a serious DONALD Fan (such as yourself) should be PROUD of
his heritage of being "ducth"!!! (8-)

Does anyone know what's the nearest place to find Disney Comics (Gladstone
or older) from Beaufort, North Carolina in the U.S. ? This is for a friend
who lives there. Thanks in advance for your help.
