Standoff Ends Tragically For Eccentric Squintillionare
In case you have not heard of this most recent armed attack by the Government, I am posting a copy of an e-mail which I received this morning.
Steve Raiguel; BSNN contributor
DUCKBURG- In a coordinated predawn raid this morning, heavily armed agents from the Treasury Department, FBI, and ATF stormed the supposedly impenetrable bunker known as the "Money Bin", from which "Uncle" Scrooge McDuck, accused ringleader of a tax resistance network, has held Federal Marshals at bay for more than two weeks. After a brief exchange of shots following the breaching of the bunker's walls, the octogenarian went down in a hail of gunfire.
The siege began early this month after McDuck lost a final court appeal seeking to enjoin the of seizure his huge fortune. McDuck fell afoul of the Internal Revenue Service last year in failing to report his "Old Number One" dime to the IRS, listing it instead as a "talisman". On discovering this omission, the IRS moved swiftly to seize McDuck's fortune under federal forfeiture statutes, leading to the lengthy court battle during which McDuck vowed, prophetically, that "they would steal his money over his dead body."
In a second, simultaneous raid at a house on Mallard Way owned by McDuck's 35-year-old nephew, Donald Duck, agents, acting on an anonymous tip, recovered further evidence of a far-reaching conspiracy. Donald Duck, an individual described by neighbors as 'temperamental' and 'combative', was taken under arrest along with three male juveniles discovered living at the residence. They are now being questioned by authorities regarding the activities inside the Duck compound.
Duck reportedly appeared frequently in public sporting a quasi-military sailor's outfit, and has long been suspected of right-wing militia activity. Survivalist gear, including uniforms, insignia, and literature of the clandestine "Junior Woodchucks" organization were found inside the compound. Agents were initially unable to locate the cache of weapons stipulated by the search warrant until the arrival of a van containing several large crates labeled "special search equipment" which were unloaded into the compound under close guard. Shortly thereafter, a huge stockpile of automatic rifles, grenades, bazookas, and tactical nuclear weapons came to light and were put on display for reporters.
Back at the "Money Bin", ATF personnel displayed an unregistered assault blunderbuss recovered from the burned-out ruins of the bunker. An agent explained that while technically legal, it was the weapon of choice for street gangs and psychopathic serial killers. "These things may look harmless enough", he explained, "but by changing just three components -- the barrel, the action, and the stock - you can convert one into a fully automatic 105-mm howitzer. I hate to think of how many kids we saved by getting this baby off the streets."
Gladstone Gander, head of the FBI's domestic strike force and coordinator of the assault on the McDuck stronghold denied that profit had been a motive in moving to seize the enormous assets contained in the bunker.
"Certainly not, I can say uncatagorically that the monies involved, huge though they may be, had absolutely nothing to do with our decision to act. McDuck has been under our scrutiny for some time now, and if need be, we can produce witnesses linking his name to international money laundering interests, drug smuggling, child pornography, Satanism, and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. We had information - I'm not at liberty to divulge the sources, of course - that he and his nephew were also the leaders of a Duck Supremacist cult that was abusing ducklings. That's why we had to move - to protect those kids! Anybody saying otherwise is simply trying to undermine this investigation and I can assure you, that those individuals can expect to have their 1040 forms scrutinized very carefully next year."
Defending the agencies' use of strategic bombers in the raid, Attorney General Zero Gannet, acting as spokesbird for the Justice Department, explained "The old duck had the place completely rigged with booby traps. We had to think of our men. We almost lost two of our best agents when they stepped on a trip wire, dumping a bucket of paint right on top of them. They're up there in the hospital right now, fighting for their lives, and the doctors still don't know if they'll ever be any color but taupe for the rest of their lives. We had to go in, and go in strong. The old codger had vowed we'd never take him alive. Besides, some kids coulda stepped into one of those booby traps of his, he had them set up all over the place."
A social worker counseling the three young ducks found inside the Duck compound, known only as "Huey, Dewey, and Louie" commented that "Lord only knows what those poor kids went through in there. "Of course, they're going to need several months of intensive therapy and reprogramming by our own crack team of staff psychologists. After that, I think they'll be ready to testify against this Duck character. We need more liberal search and seizure laws to protect society against malicious ganders like that, I mean, what kind of miscreants would use innocent children for their own political purposes?"
The recent events in Duckburg have raised popular opinion against armed terrorist groups like the Duck gang and have resulted in a groundswell of public outrage calling for tougher sanctions against tax resistors, increased surveillance of individuals holding anti-government opinions, and the confiscation of all privately owned blunderbusses, as shown by a recent NBC poll in which 94% of respondents answered affirmatively when asked the question "do you think children should be protected from dangerous criminals". President Hornbill has been reported to be meeting with his advisors at this time and has scheduled a press conference for 10:00 A.M. (EDT) in which he's expected to push for tougher laws and sweeping government powers to combat similar terrorist networks.

>>>>>What I wanted to know (and it seems likely in the case of Barks and
Rosa from what I have been gleaning from the postings) is if anyone has gone
to the trouble of sequencing the various Duck stories? I suppose each
writer has kept their own sort of "timeline" (the Scrooge entry does a
little of this on the DCML site) and I would like to go about reading some
of the stories in the order they were intended by cross-referring any such
time-lines with INDUCKS
I'd say don't worry about it -- just read 'em all as you get your mitts on
'em. Since I tell stories that (in my mind, and therefore in fact, since
they're my stories) take place in the past, I don't have the attitude that
I'm telling the tales in chronological order. My stories are just taking
place in a jumble of years somewhere in the early-mid 1950's. As some one
already said, if I'm doing a sequel to a Barks story (or one of my own),
naturally the sequel is taking place after the original. Same if I just make
some reference to another story... but you won't know that reference is
coming until it hits you, so don't suddenly toss the comic from you and not
finish reading until you hunt down the referenced tale -- just don't worry
about it.

issue a few months after it was published; I don't know whether this

Brown canes would definitely make it a newsstand edition, if my every
experience of the past 15 years means anything. But it's easy to tell -- if
there's a UPC symbol on the back cover, it's a newsstand edition. If there's
a little b&w pic of Donald in that spot, it's a direct-sales edition.

Hi!
Just some info for those of you who collects original art:
A friend of mine (Germund Silvegren) has two nice pieces up
for sale at Hake's Americana (www.hakes.com )
> One MM daily strip boldly signed by Floyd Gottfredson
> and one Mickey Mouse cover art preliminary from the fifties.
Now for the $50.000 question: Who drew that preliminary sketch?
I know that Dick Moores did the final art but...
Any one who knows?

Hmmm... There's a B&W picture of Donald at the top left of the back cover,
and no UPC symbol anywhere. I guess this makes my suddenly become rare

Hi friends!
I just received the new issue of a great danish comic-fanzine, Nerd
News - it's the second time this year - last issue came last month, but
then they didn't publish any issues in 2001. It's considered by the
danish comic-fanzine-readers to be the best fanzine on the market
(rated on the danish answer to the comicjournals homepage).
Apart from reprinting one of my own columns (how proud I am! :-)) it
also poses this interesting question.
The author of the little article has read in The Little rascals (a
series from the OG-comic), a book by Leonard Martin and Richard W. Bann
a claiming that Barks is supposed to have made a comic version of this
short film series. - this is said on page 233. The author of the
articles first thought was rightly that the authors of the book were
thinking of the Barney Bear and Benny Burro-stories, but as he says
leonard Martin is not anybody - he's supposed to know his stuff. The
authors of the book knows about the funny animal stories in the Our
Gang comics, but they still mention Barks in connection with the
rascals. Then the author of the little article wonders if it would be
at all possible to recognize Barks' style when drawing humans in the
40'es?
Then he asks if someone can confirm or deconfirm this information? I'm
forwarding it now to this list, where I believe some of you readers
have a big american collection where this could maybe be checked.

that's odd, i have a copy of this book (the 2nd edition - the 1st is tittled
Our Gangm the 2nd Little Rascals), and I don;t recall seeing that...
unfortunately my copy is in my warehouse....
but no, Barks did no Our Gangs, now if you ask about Walt Kelly -- who
certainly used to be more famous than Barks-- he done Our Gang.

That's a new one on me. I have *never* seen a direct-sales copy with brown
canes.
But to give you an idea of how rare and far-flung issues of U$ #219 with
brown canes are, one of the first ones I saw was when I was signing comics
at a book fair in Stockholm and a fan had such a copy... I asked him where
he bought it, assuming he was gonna say there in Sweden, and he said Africa!
(Unless there's a suburb of Stockholm that, to my American ears, sounds like
"Africa".)

Yup, I have all the OUR GANGs, but I don't need to travel to the vault.
Those authors are mistaking Walt Kelly's detailed style for Barks art. Kelly
did the "Our Gang" stories. Barks did the Barney Bear, Benny Burro and Happy
Hound stories, like we all know.

You can see Barks drawing full-blown (?) humans in the Andy Panda story
(along with Pabian) in NEW FUNNIES #76 and in many early DONALD - FOUR
COLORs. But especially that NEW FUNNIES Panda story, as it is *not* about
funny-animal-story humans... that oddball story takes place in the "real
world" where an animal is discovered to be able to *talk* (yow!) and is put
into a circus! (But Andy Panda soon became a normal "funny animal" in a
"funny animal" world after that.)
But for those folks who want to have a full set of (American) comics
containing Carl Barks art... I bet they think they can stop with OUR GANG
#36. But to be reeeaaally nitpicky, you'd need to have the OUR GANG comics
all the way through when the title was changed to TOM AND JERRY, all the way
up to issue #82 in 1951. On each issue up until then, over in the
featured-character roster along the left side of the cover, were Barks
portraits of Barney and Benny.

Thanks for the answers Steven and Don
And now for something completely different.
I want to give you friends here the possibilty of joining a newly
grounded club. Listmember S?ren Haagerup and I decided in the night of
december 29th last year that it was a mistake that there is no
donaldist socity in Denmark - so we grounded it together. We have now
reached a total of 10 members, including a norwegian and a swede.
The full name of the club is Dansk Donaldist Forening (m/RAP) where
m/RAP stands for med Rap AndeProfil.
All this means Danish Donaldist Society - and the m/RAP has a gag which
is quite untranslatable, but it means with a quacking DuckProfile.
The purpouse of the club is to gather donaldists in Denmark and from
everywhere where people would like to join. thus we have contacted
swedish and norwegian forums and list, and now I'm writing to you
people here to make sure that all interested persons will know about
the possibilty of joining.
We are in the making of our first members magazine (It's called
DDF(r)appet - meaning the DDF Quack or such) and it contains articles
about the club, other country's donaldist clubs, fanzines, forums and
maillists and the special feature: and interview with the first danish
translator Sonja Rindom (Inventor of Langtbortistan and Donald's danish
version of the Screaming Cowboy - the Howling Sailor).
We plan to form a kind of comic shop which will mainly be in function
at our meatings - so far one is being planned in the end of july this
year.
So danes, swedes, norwegians, germans and everybody who can read danish
or are simply interested - contact one of us two founders on
shaagerup at hotmail.com or acsive at yahoo.com - or maybe on the
club-adress: dansk_donaldist_forening at hotmail.com
That was all my quacking for right now.

The dome

Hi!
I've noticed that some drawers draw the money bin with a huge dome on the
top (IF that's the word, I really suck in English), while others draw the
bin without that dome. I'm just curious:
- was the "original" Money Bin drawn with or without this dome?
- does anyone know why some drawers decided to add it / remove it?
Btw, happy easter everybody!

Barks' original was without it, right? But when did this 'dome' appear for
the first time?

Hi all,
Should have sent this in earlier, but usually when I read my e-mail it
is late at night and I don't always have all cylinders running....
Anyway, for another week or two, McDonald's(that fine Scottish eating
establishment known the world over with, "Billions and Billions served)" is
running a Happy Meal promotion called "100 years of Magic" which is how the
Disney Company is celebrating what would have been Unca Walt's 100th
birthday. There are 100 PVC figures with a base including many characters
you might not usually find. Of special interest to us here, would be that
there is a Scrooge McDuck figure as well as a figure of Huey, Dewey and
Louie. There are "only" three Mickey Mouse figures, but two are way cool( I
think!) one is a black and white Steamboat Willie and the second is Mickey in
his conductor's jacket from The Band Concert. The are figures from all the
animated features right up to last summers Atlantis.
