hi all,

the drawing of mickey mouse couldn't be from 1919 because mickey wasn't
created until 1928. the pie eyes places the styles to the early '30s, after
which he had orphan annie eyes. the signature looks mjerry weist, original
comic art,first edition, st like the one hand porter signed to drawings done
for walt to give away. for an absolutely authentic drawing and signature done
by disney see jerry weist, original comic art, first edition, page 354.

regards

I forgot to mention that :-)
Yes, next issue will not have any of these Aragones
stories! Did Komix finally got our message to stop
that stuff?

Hi all

Yesterday I received my subscriber's edition of the german weekly, MM. It
contains the first part of Don's new story, Gyro's first invention.
Apart from the fact that the germans partly covered the dedication to
Barks with a caption saying part 1, it's a splendid printing, and it was
fun
reading the story in german as the first language.
First part tells me I have much to look forward to in the next part - it's
a very great story so far, I tell you.
As we tell on the duckhunt page on upcoming stories we're proud that our
friend and fellow duckhunter Sigvald gave Don the idea for this story.

My subscribers edition of the danish weekly then arrived today - showing
on the next weeks page (we're one week behind, as we follow the
week numbers, if that term is even existing) a panel from the story and
the great cover which is going to be on the issue presenting the 1st part.
Gyro's 50th "birthday" is really being celebrates, and oh yes, he deserves
it.

Talking of birthdays and jubilees - when was/is the jubilee of the dutch
weekly? Is it too late to tell my friend there to remember to buy one
extra
copy for me?

Hilsen/Yours

Indeed! I had intended to post a report here right away, but then got
carried away by other matters, so here it is.

I was in Turin on Friday and Saturday (I live 150 miles away). The fair
was quite... fair indeed, not many stands, not many things to buy, but
very nicely hadnles, there was plenty of room, something you generally
don't get at comics fairs here where it's generally even hard to walk.
Unfortunately there was a "greenhouse effect", due to the glass roof,
that had us sweat under the sun all the time, oh well...

On Friday morning I and my friend Francesco Gerbaldo saw Don enter the
press room and almost "get locked" in there. The guy who locked him in
told us (we were at the Anonima Fumetti stand, thereby) "Don't let
anybody in, he's making drawings for the authorities" So we guarded that
door for about an hour then Don was finally thru and at that very moment
Andrea Salimbeti showed up (a Paperinik fan, check the statue of Scrooge
he made for Don! http://digilander.iol.it/Freckles/paperinik/arte.htm
) and Luca Boschi finally arrived, so we all went sit at
a free table (lot of room as I said) as we also had to swap some
comics.... There was also a collector o Scarpa's art, who show us the
original art for "History Re-Petes Itself" and "Funny Carrots".
Wonderful, especially the former.
Suddenly it was 16 o' clock, and Don had the sketch session...
unfortunately we found out that they had been given tickets for it
(smart idea, even though it seems quite "supermarket-y"), and they had
been given with no warnings a couple of hours before. So no sketch for
us!
In the meanwhile ML member Eta Beta joined us and right then (disney
author) Luciano
Gatto arrived (together with his collegue Valerio Held and wife), and we
went to a
bar where he told us a lot of anedocts... we could hardly stop him from
talking actually :-)
We'd showed him a stand selling some original art of his, art he'd lent
14 years ago to someone and that he'd never been given back... he was
quite (and righteously) bothered by this!

This is about all happened on Friday. On Saturday (300 miles after ;-)
still another ML member, Armando Botto joined us, and all in all it's
been a quiter day. In the afternoon there was a conference named "Don
Rosa e il rinascimento disneyano", in which the panelists (Don Rosa,
Luca Boschi, Alberto Becattini, Zio Paperone editor Lidia Cannatella and
Zio Paperone letterer Diego Ceresa) talked about stuff... we all know
very well here in the list :-) but it was nice to hear these things for
one time, rather then read them. By the way, I generally don't read
"spoilers" here in the list and since in Italy we're generally the
last to get Don's stories, it means I have to skip most of the
discussions about them. Still what I heard there about the next story
sounded really _very_ interesting, I'm really looking foward to reading
it!

A special note about the translator... she was good! She did mess some
things up, but just because she was not much into the comic field
probably... not a big problem anyway, kudos to her. (quite fun when she
forgot to translate part of an answer, where Don had stated that Scrooge
is his favourite character, so the question was asked again since it
seemed that no answer had been given :-).

After the conference there was antoher sketch session, this time (On
Don's "orders" we've been told) with no "pre-sale" tickets... tickets
were given at the begininning of the session, so it worked out much
better and I got my sketch after a while (a nice Louie
http://digilander.iol.it/sgrizzo/dcml/Louie.jpg ... since
everybody seemed to be asking Scrooge, or, at best, Donald! Not to
mention a couple of Fethry's :-). I'm a sucker for sketches, and
that's quite silly, I know. I'll refrain next time, now that I've got
one :-)

DON:

As usual, your explanation regarding the money bin stands to reason, which
makes me want to see your comments on another apparent contradiction,
namely the kind of coins in Scrooge's bin, which has been discussed a lot
in this list. I just re-read Barks' "stone ray" story, where Scrooge is
ill because his pores have been blocked by gold dust, accumulated via
prolonged swimming in money. Both his Doctor's and the cabbage-eating
professor's reaction when they see the gold dust is to ask whether he
has been swimming in money. This suggests that Barks, for this story at
least, meant for the bin to be full of gold coins, not nickels and dimes!

What I meant to say was that I saw the photos of you and Lidia, but I can't
really say that I know you, since I never met you. Yet.
