After seeing the list of the Italian publications I started wondering how
well would Finland do in this kind of comparison. After compiling the
list I was somewhat surprised.
The following list is based on the recent chat where Helsinki Media's
duck people answered reader's questions and the current situation
assuming that nothing is cancelled this year.
Aku Ankka: 52 times (there will most likely be some extras, but don't all
the main weeklies have them, so since you and Armando didn't count
them neither do I - not that I would know how many there are).
Kuukauden Sarjisekstra: 12 times (a publication printing mainly Dutch
stories - though lately the Danish have been invading the magazine).
Roope-set?: 12 times (almost equivalent to the recently cancelled
100-paged Egmont monthly).
Aku Ankan taskukirja: 12 times (356-paged pocket book, for last three
years it was published 13 times a year).
Aku Ankan taskukirja - special issues: 2 times.
Nalle Puh: 12 times (is Winnie the Pooh publication countable?).
Dialect album: annual.
Ankalliskirjasto: unknown, at least 1 time (a new series).
Jumbo: 2 times (416-paged, includes reprints of comics published
previously in Aku Ankka, 400-paged books and albums).
Palat-publications: 7(?) times (Aku-Palat, Jatko-palat and
Joulu-Aku. Reprints of earlier published stories with exercises.
Due the exercises I'm not very fond of these, but apparently
they have readers since the series is the second oldest still
printed Finnish Disney-publication, published since 1960.)
P?iv?st? P?iv??n 1952: annual (this year's addition to the
compilation series of Al Taliaferro's Donald dailies).
Reprint of Aku Ankkas of year 1960: annual.
The total is 115.
Like Armando I, too, might have forgotten something.

>>I can't believe with Scrooge's nature he wouldn't check his money ^_^
And any money received from a bank wouldn't be counterfeit...<<
Although I can't name the story, I particularly like the one where $crooge
get's allergic reaction from swimming in the money in his bin because there
are a couple of counterfeit coins (or was it bills?) among them.
I like to think that's the way he keeps fake and "dirty" money out of his
bin. Of course a large portion of wealth is in bank accounts.
btw. Just got my first ?-wage 8-) If they could get the marks out of the
circulation I would be happy... two currencies... it just gives me a headache.
Well, two months and only ? after that :-/

Hi everyone!
I have updated the "Life & Times of $crooge McDuck" map and index on my site:
- corrected a few mistakes on the map (New Orleans was mislabeled; the spot where the Titanic sank was too high)
- added Louisville (had forgotten it; with the journey from New Orleans) and information on NY, Duckburg, the journey west (US), and the Klondike (plus the journey from Perth to Skagway)
- added the cast in each episode of L&T in the index page
Comments, corrections and suggestions welcome!

the links to the pages (map & index) are hidden (and very easy to find) in the image

Scrooge's Counterfeit Money

GREG:

> banks send their money there)
Yes, but Scrooge doesn't send his money to the bank; all the money he
collects is placed in his money bin and never leaves it. Of course,
one would assume that money entering the money bin goes through a
similar process as money entering a federal reserve station. (Don,
did you include such a facility in your money bin blueprints?)
I understand that a considerable fraction of the U.S. dollars in
circulation is actually outside the US, and these bills do not go through
the screening procedure that you described. Perhaps this means that the
majority of counterfeit notes in circulation is outsiode the U.S.

From what I hear, counterfeiters use somewhat more sophisticated
techniques. I remember reading about certain counterfeit notes (though,
probably, not dollars) that the difference between a counterfeit an an
original note was that the latter was not as good!!!
> I can't believe with Scrooge's nature he wouldn't check his money ^_^
To bring things back on topic, this sounds like the basis for an Uncle
Scrooge story.

If you subscribed them:
costed 70.50 EUR = 419 FIM for 52 issues 2001
SUMMARY =======================
The amount of comics pages was lowest since 1996. If looking at previous
years:
comics total: (no covers, B -issues not counted)
1996: 1564.5 pages (32 pages per issue)
1997: 1708.5 pages (36 pages per issue)
1998: 1702.5 pages
1999: 1674 pages
2000: 1643 pages
2001: 1642 pages
With the stories having one page only the very best years seems to be
behind.
Stories having 0 - 1 pages: (B -issues not counted)
1996: 19 stories
1997: 71 stories
1998: 106 stories
1999: 97 stories
2000: 82 stories
2001: 73 stories
The same goes with serial stories.
(= long stories splitted in 2 - 3 parts for different issues)
1996: 52 parts 415 pages 23 full stories (+ parts)
1997: 46 parts 374 pages 21 full stories (+ parts)
1998: 43 parts 376 pages 20 full stories
1999: 30 parts 270 pages 15 full stories (+ parts)
2000: 24 parts 228 pages 11 full stories (+ parts)
2001: 24 parts 215 pages 11 full stories (+ parts)
With Carl Barks stories 2001 was an average year for Aku Ankka magazine.
The year 1999 was the rock bottom since 1951.
Barks stories in Aku Ankka: (B -issues not counted)
1996: 12 stories 121 pages
1997: 13 stories 88 pages
1998: 24 stories 93 pages
1999: 5 stories 39 pages
2000: 10 stories 111 pages
2001: 17 stories 103.5 pages
Somehow Aku Ankka magazine has turned to a pure duck magazine;
Mouse stories have vanished. In 2001 Finnish weekly had 28 issues
having no other mouse stories but 1-2 pager Manuel Gonzales and
Floyd Gottfredson sunday pages. Eight issues had no mouse stories
at all.
During the spring time there was a period when issues 2001/12 - 18 had:
- Duck stories 216 pages
- Mouse stories 7 pages
- and one Mad Madam Mim story 2 pages
And still this lost of mouse stories would not be necessary.
Basicly the Finnish weekly is compiled by the same material
as Egmont weeklies (mostly)
If looking at the Swedish Egmont weekly in 2001 they had five
new 10 pagers drawn by Ferioli and six new 10 pagers drawn by
Noel Van Horn *MORE* than the Finnish weekly had (all mouse
stories). Both artists are the most exelent talents and still
the Finnish editors decided not to use their artwork. Why?
And since the Finnish monthly extra is nowadays compiled by
Dutch stories only we'll never see those great mouse stories
here. Great!
Of course also duck stories were "cutted away" like atleast two
12 pagers drawn by Vicar. But the Swedish weekly Kalle Anka & Co
had some 1000 pages more comics than Finnish weekly...
The new Romano Scarpa story in Egmont weekly 2001/51 was placed
to the Finnish monthly extra. Only for few people to see. As a
Finn it's exciting to see do the Finnish weekly bother to publish
the second new Romano Scarpa story that was in the Swedish
weekly 2002/01 - it's a mouse story too!
- - -
No "Helsinki Media" texts visible anymore. Aku Ankka 1/2002 was
published by "Sanoma Magazines Finland Oy".

SUMMARY =======================
The amount of comics pages was lowest since 1996. If looking at previous
years:
comics total: (no covers, B -issues not counted)
1996: 1564.5 pages (32 pages per issue)
1997: 1708.5 pages (36 pages per issue)
1998: 1702.5 pages
1999: 1674 pages
2000: 1643 pages
2001: 1642 pages
With the stories having one page only the very best years seems to be
behind.
Stories having 0 - 1 pages: (B -issues not counted)
1996: 19 stories
1997: 71 stories
1998: 106 stories
1999: 97 stories
2000: 82 stories
2001: 73 stories
The same goes with serial stories.
(= long stories splitted in 2 - 3 parts for different issues)
1996: 52 parts 415 pages 23 full stories (+ parts)
1997: 46 parts 374 pages 21 full stories (+ parts)
1998: 43 parts 376 pages 20 full stories
1999: 30 parts 270 pages 15 full stories (+ parts)
2000: 24 parts 228 pages 11 full stories (+ parts)
2001: 24 parts 215 pages 11 full stories (+ parts)
With Carl Barks stories 2001 was an average year for Aku Ankka magazine.
The year 1999 was the rock bottom since 1951.
Barks stories in Aku Ankka: (B -issues not counted)
1996: 12 stories 121 pages
1997: 13 stories 88 pages
1998: 24 stories 93 pages
1999: 5 stories 39 pages
2000: 10 stories 111 pages
2001: 17 stories 103.5 pages
Somehow Aku Ankka magazine has turned to a pure duck magazine;
Mouse stories have vanished. In 2001 Finnish weekly had 28 issues
having no other mouse stories but 1-2 pager Manuel Gonzales and
Floyd Gottfredson sunday pages. Eight issues had no mouse stories
at all.
During the spring time there was a period when issues 2001/12 - 18 had:
- Duck stories 216 pages
- Mouse stories 7 pages
- and one Mad Madam Mim story 2 pages
And still this lost of mouse stories would not be necessary.
Basicly the Finnish weekly is compiled by the same material
as Egmont weeklies (mostly)
If looking at the Swedish Egmont weekly in 2001 they had five
new 10 pagers drawn by Ferioli and six new 10 pagers drawn by
Noel Van Horn *MORE* than the Finnish weekly had (all mouse
stories). Both artists are the most exelent talents and still
the Finnish editors decided not to use their artwork. Why?
And since the Finnish monthly extra is nowadays compiled by
Dutch stories only we'll never see those great mouse stories
here. Great!
Of course also duck stories were "cutted away" like atleast two
12 pagers drawn by Vicar. But the Swedish weekly Kalle Anka & Co
had some 1000 pages more comics than Finnish weekly...
The new Romano Scarpa story in Egmont weekly 2001/51 was placed
to the Finnish monthly extra. Only for few people to see. As a
Finn it's exciting to see do the Finnish weekly bother to publish
the second new Romano Scarpa story that was in the Swedish
weekly 2002/01 - it's a mouse story too!
- - -
No "Helsinki Media" texts visible anymore. Aku Ankka 1/2002 was
published by "Sanoma Magazines Finland Oy".

Greetings all! I'm a long-time lurker, making my first contribution. A few
days ago, someone was asking about the Beagle Boys' clothing. I remember one
issue of Uncle Scrooge (possibly the Case of the Sticky Money), where the
Beagles were swimming in their pool and they all had their shirts off. The
Beagles had their prison numbers tattooed across their chest, with the
outline box and all! Now that's dedication! Anyhow, Happy New Year to
everyone out there.

Thanks to all who sent me copies, and/or put them on the web.
I now realise that I already have the drawings: they were published a year
before, on silver/gold-bags. They were not easy to scan (because of
reflections), so it's nice to have good scans now.

Ducks affecting language?
Message 43 -
2002-01-08 at 03:13:39
Hi!
I've been reading the celebration book of 50 Years of Aku Ankka (the
weekly) in Finland. It's titled "Maailman hauskin kuvasarjalehti"
meaning The World's Funniest Comic book. The fun part of the title
is the word "kuvasarjalehti" as it is the old expression used for
comic books in Finland. The modern version isn't that much
different "sarjakuvalehti" but it gives the title a nice old
flavor. It contains a lot of articles: analyzing the duckworld,
the editorial staff and the making of the magazine, information
of different artists (made by list member Timo Ronkainen, great
job!), a history of Disney comics published in Finland etc.
Also there is a story from every decade of the weekly and small
lists of different things from the comics, like the worst jobs
DD ever had, acronyms for JW titles, weird animals, political
happenings, Gyro's inventions, adresses of different characters
just to mention few.
Now, why I'm babbling about this? At the final pages there is
an article about the effect of duck stories to Finnish language.
People who are lucky are often called Gladstone Gander, rich Scrooge
and inventors Gyro Gearloose (in Finnish of course). Also for example
police's special force is called The Beagle Boys (I really like this
one:-), Kaj Stenvall does paintings starring ducks or the anonymous
alcoholics are called Donald Ducks (since the abbreviations for both
are AA in Finland). Reading this made me wonder if there are same
kind of things in other countries? I would think that in Scandinavia
something like this could have happened or in Germany where the
translations of Erica Fuchs are so loved. Or are we Finns alone with
this habit?
And as a conclusion since the winter olympics are on their way, a
short quote from a book by Sakari Pietil? and Kari Tyni (sport people
from Finland) for all you Swedes out there:
"Gladstone Gander equals heavenly luck, fitting cross playing and
gold podium. Gladstone Gander X 23 = The Ice-hockey team of Sweden."
Hope we meet in the final! :-)
