This reminds me that I am going to UK in March, to be precise, London, York
and Derbyshire.
Although I lived in England for 10 years I have rarely been able to find any
bookshop that sold old USA Disney comics. Maybe some of you know some
special place that I never managed to find out?
Please let me know.
Also I joined the list in 1999 (while I was still living in England) and I
have learnt a lot by reading all the infor that you all exchange. Thank you
for it and please carry on!. I love all this.
Thank you Elena

Oggetto: comic shops in Norway?
Hi,
Next week I'm going to Oslo, Norway. I will also be driving north to Hamar
and beyond. Can someone give me advice on nice places to go to to look for
Disney comics? Are there any special publications out right now that I can
look for?
Kind regards,
Arthur de Wolf

Which Lindgren stories appeared in DD?
By which artists? Were they good? Was the

about 1995 or so. At first I was simply replying to e-mails containing the

had to pay extra for each non-Compuserve message I received, and receiving
the long DCML e-mails would cost me a significant amount each month at
those old slow download speeds (which are still not much better, way out

I'm "not surprised" in a sense because of how bars and drinking are treated
in Italy -- this was one of the most interesting sights I recall from my
visits. In America, generally speaking, bars have a seedy sort of
quality... dark, semi-dirty, tiny or no windows, looking like they harbor
all manner of shady activities within (and probably many do). There are
certainly many very nice bars, usually attached to nice restaurants (like
the one you see on TV in "Cheers"). But most are sorta sordid, sorta
illegal lookin' places.
But in Italy as we walked around I noticed these happy, bright, colorful,
festive lil' open-air shops on virtually every street corner that at first
I thought were candy stores or something for kids. And it turns out they
are bars serving likker and probably sandwiches and snacks and candy and...
not just nice looking, but the nicest, most wholesome looking shops on the
street. I recall asking my Italian friends what stops kids from ordering a
drink of hard likker at such a place, and they said there is no law against
it, but... it just doesn't happen. I don't know if this sort of attitude
has detrimental social effects... I've never heard that the Italians have
drinking problems like people tell me they do up in the Scandinavian
countries. Hm?
So, it seems like it would be nice to show that sort of thing if I were,
f'rinstance, doing a story about $crooge in the Blackjack Ballroom or some
cowman's saloon in Montana and not have anyone get all bent outta shape...
but I don't guess it impedes telling a good story without worrying about
it.

Hi chums
In response to Elena's mail...there aren't many comic
shops in London that stock any Disney comics...the
only one I can think of is GOSH COMICS, in Great
Russell Street, opposite the British Museum. And they
don't have hundreds. Don't bother with Forbidden
Planet, they are only interested in crummy superheroes
and toys in there. Just outside London, THEY WALK
AMONG US in Richmond (on the District Line) used to be
my first choice for all quality comics, including
Disney stuff, when I lived round there, and there's a
very friendly chap called John running it who
genuinely understands about good reading material, so
that would be worth a visit, too...

Where Scrooge lives (Duckburg revisited)
Message 52 -

"If we're going to the States, I want to visit Duckburg," I said to my
wife. "I want to meet Scrooge McDuck." "He won't see you," she replied, "he
doesn't receive visitors." "Oh, I think he will," I said, "if we bring the
right gift."
We flew to New York and from there, three transfers later, we landed in
Duckburg. As we flew further and further west, I noticed as I looked out
the window that the scenery gradually changed. It got brighter and sharper
somehow, with more vivid colors and contrasts. It was during the last
stopover that we got the first hint of where we were going. The polite
young clerk behind the ticket counter of Calisota Airways was a pig.
Literally... and figuratively too!
After collecting our luggage we took a cab from Duckburg Airport into town.
It was an old-fashioned taxi, as were all the vehicles we saw in the
streets. They were all well maintained considering they appeared to be
models from the 1950s. And yes, it is true: The residents of Duckburg all
wear hats - from the plain and practical to the fancy and fashionable.
Despite these quaint impressions, however, the hotel had a state-of-the-art
computer terminal in the reception.
In the hotel room, I turned on the TV. The news anchor was a distinguished
elderly gentleman with a moustache, a dark suit and a very 'knowing'
expression. The evening movie was a western.
The next day we rented a car, since there is not a lot of public
transportation in Duckburg. It was a small open model, a little like
Gladstone Gander's, and it didn't go very fast. It was a bit like driving
one of those bump'em cars in an amusement park.
As I had hoped, after a quick glance at our gift the security guards at the
entrance to the money bin rang to McDuck and directed us to his office. It
must have been Ms. Quackfaster's day off because McDuck himself met us at
his office door. Up close he looks older than he does in the pictures but
he is still very impressive. Although he is short, he simply radiates
power. Even if you didn't know he is the richest coot in the world, you'd
know you were in the presence of an icon.
As I gave him the gift we had carried so carefully from Norway, I explained
how I had always wanted to meet him. He was visibly pleased. "I have a lot
of Norwegian coins, of course," he said in a deep old-man's voice with a
slight Scottish accent, "but none from the mint in perfect mint condition.
Thank you very much." Then, after a slightly awkward pause, he asked,
"Would you like to see the vault?"

I should have held my tongue.
I grew up with the idea of Duckburg having a pig mayor (probably
due to the frequent use of this pig mayor by other artists than
Barks (in the Dutch Donald Duck weekly)). Don's non-pig mayors
made me wonder wether the pig mayor was ever used by Barks at
all, till I spotted the pig in 'Hero of the Dike'.
So, I should have read more stories by Barks, or done my research
more thoroughly, before asking any such question.
Thanks for reminding me, next time I'll just shut up :)

Have you checked your copy of Don's Kalevala story to look at the

Of course, there are storytelling and 'camera' techniques that
comics and movies do have in common. (Close up, medium and

Stoned Ducks? :D Never thought of Chierchini's style that way but as you
said it, Donald does really have a bit weird look on his face. Well,
Chierchini has never been my favorite artist so I'm not surprised.
Self-evident part was only about the strength of the drink: how smoke
comes out of it and it explodes and how US drinks it coolly while DD gets
flames from his mouth.

Of course not. If everyone would do thorough research before posting a

The pig mayor is the most common one. In our Inducks database, we list all
appearances of the pig mayor, and we don't list any other mayors...

Of course not. If everyone would do thorough research before posting a
message here on DCML, there would be *very* few messages!

AND I RESPOND:
Ms. Lindgren's famous character was known as Pippi Longstocking in the U.S.
(I'm guessing that "Longstocking" is a literal translation of "Langkous",
eh?) She wasn't just read by little girls over here in my boyhood days,
either. I read all the PIPPI books myself at least once, and lots of my
male friends did the same. Of course, that was back when Americans actually
read comics and books.

Well, both Longstocking and Langkous is literaly translations from "Laangstrump" as it is written in swedish . And Pippi is a book for children and their parents, not just for girls.
