Hi Don-

I especially like your work, because you're not only a good story
teller, you actually put a lot of research and intelligent thought into it,
which comes through well. And your art is just fine. Please don't get
discouraged.

Well, you could always do some new Pertwilliby stories and publish them
here in the states - maybe Image or Dark Horse would be interested. Then
you could release a blockbuster Pertwilliby movie, with all sorts of
licensing tie-ins, and retire on the proceeds :-)

Can't you call Egmont and ask them to send you a new copy of it?

I really loved Rosa's story about Gyro's first success, celebrating his first
50 years. What puzzles me a bit, is that in the story, Gyro is celebrating
something himself too. What could this be? It certainly cannot be the same
thing that WE celebrate. This would be a time-paradox. I liked the idea of
using Gyro to get Scrooge's money out, as using the toy-train would be a much
to slow method. Also combining this idea with the invention of Little Helper is
very nice. What's a bit strange about this though, is that Little Helper does
not appear in the first Gyro-stories by Barks, but this doesn't really bother
me. Using the think-box to make Little Helper intelligent was another nice
idea, and if I'm not mistaken, the think-box also worked on Gyro himself,
making him even more brilliant than he was before his little accident. His
inventions were not very successful up to this point. Of course, this makes me
wonder that maybe the think-box was his first success?
A couple of things bothers me a little about this story (but just a little).
The first thing is Gyro's appearance. In the first Gyro-stories by Barks, his
hair is quite different. It's longer, and cut in another way. In Rosa's story
Gyro has the appearance of later stories. Why is this so? Wasn't Rosa allowed
to draw Gyro the original way? Another thing, when reading Barks story about
the think-box, I get the impression that Donald doesn't really know Gyro, only
by reputation. Donald thinks Gyro's a nut, and he doesn't want his nephews to
help him. Isn't this a bit strange, considering that Donald knows at this time
that Gyro helped Scrooge with his big problem?

These things are only minor questions, not complains. The story was, as always
by Rosa, very good, and I'm looking forward to his next story.

The answer is actually trivial. In the beginning of the story, the time is
N years (where 1<N<2, I can't remember?:) after the time when the actual
story takes place. Donald and the nephews are sitting in the park,
watching Gyro walk by, and then they start reminiscing the time when they
helped Gyro start his inventing career. Time-leap, sort of, but not really
paradoxal IMO :)

Of course I don't know the real reason, but my guess is that Rosa draws
Gyro the way he wants to - and that is the way he looks in most of the
stories. After all, the "early Gyro" by Barks looked different just
because Barks hadn't yet decided how to make him look.

Valid point:) Don, I seem to see a reason here for another story
explaining the change in Donald's attitude :)

And I'm looking forward to read the end of this story. That darn Aku Ankka
publishes it in parts :)

Can someone tell me the name and issue numbers of the Swedish weekly that
Don's new story is appearing in? I want to ask a friend to pick it up for
me.

Thanks,

I understand the blueprints are shown as black lines on blue paper, instead
of white lines on blue paper as they should.

That was obviously an addition by an editor or translator, but Don may have
more accurate information. In any case, I don't know who the person is
trying to insult -- Don, myself, or the fictitious architect, but none of us
are happy about it! I'm calling the ombudsman! I want a retraction!

I think you're both jumping to the wrong conclusions too quickly. To me it
sounds just like a joke by the author. It's the kind of thing that an
author can modestly say of himself in a joking way, but that nobody else
could without strongly upsetting him (and for good reason). Imagine someone
gratuitously adding a "this guy is lazy" footnote: what kind of editor
would that be?!?

The first part is in issue #19 (2002).
The second part is in the double-issue #20-21.
Both parts are 10 pages each, and the first issue also has a cover
illustrating the story.

Good detecting. I contacted the vendor and you are exactly right. The back
side of each page has a black and white comic on it. The dimensions of each
page match the dimensions of the magazines. These are loose, interior pages
from a MMA that someone has colored.

Again, one of those requests about artists, who are presumably cartoon
artists and not comics artists. This time from Linda, U.S.:

----------

Subj.: Disney artist Jay Gould

I'm looking for information on this artist who is no longer with us.
Can you direct me to a site or offer some information. Thank you,
Linda, U.S.

Anyone who can help this lady?

No, they are all white on blue. Who told you otherwise?

I don't think this was meant as an insult in any way.

Who would know - maybe our friends at egmont?

I think it's Don making a joke to himself - And I think that
having read all the versions so far. The danish, swedish, norwegian and
german.
Only one of these didn't have this text referring, as I see it, to the
fact that not even
this story fitted totally with the blue prints - as the bin will always
look as it needs to
do in a given story.

HARRY

Thus I don't think so either :-)

So Dan, you wont have to call the ombudsman (which is a loan word from
swedish or danish btw)
