So you are busy because of an holliday (the Swedish
meaning of the word semester)... or do you mean
semester in the Norwegian meaning of the word here?
(Sorry if anyone think this is a bit off-topic)
Best regards from

Hello. I am happy to have been recommended to your website/mailing list. I
am VERY new to this but what I am looking for is a comprehensive list of all
the comics published worldwide that contain the characters Spin and Marty.
(I know of the 12 issues in the USA, but I am stumped worldwide). Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated.

And don't forget W WDSF 2-02, where Gyro and Uncle $crooge are forced by
doctor's order to do funny things. On page 9, a bear comes after the dough they've made,
which is being heated by Helper! I can't imagine a vacuum tube giving off
enough light to shine through the bear's stomach, fainting the poor bear in the process...
But perhaps Unca Carl did mean the bulb to be a vacuum tube, possibly some sophisticated
type invented by Gyro himself. Tubes were still fitted in the "intelligent" appliance called the
computer, whose operation was more or less a mystery to most people at the time. (I guess...)
And a few transistors don't look nearly as cool as a glowing vacuum tube!
By the way, the first integrated circuit was made with tubes! Check out
http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~wwl/loewe.html for some pictures of it.

Tungsten (W) was discovered in Sweden, I think. Tung = heavy, sten = stone
in Swedish. However, in Sweden we call it "volfram" (written with a "v," not
"w")...

Hello again (no, I'm not a Howie fan)
Thanks for your concern about my quest for the German publication of this
cover: http://eega.net/covers/pag_us/pp.html
I entered Claudio's hint "Micky Maus Starparade" into Google and came up
with nothing. His guess "early 70s", though, seems to be alright!
Entering Arne's suggestion "Micky Maus geht stets voraus", I came up with a
different cover: http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/W+WDC++58-00
It's a bit similar and also appears strangely familiar to me, but I'm still
looking for that other one (published in Germany as an illustration only)!

It's possible that "Reddy Kilowatt," the public relations mascot

Yes, I found this info on your page. And now I have
also checked up your source. It's Donald Pocekt #89
(NOT #88), page 9-12. The sequence you are referring
to is very interesting, but I also see some problems
connecting to this source and the way you have used
it.
1) You changed the time from 1988 to "sometime in the
1960's".
2) You changed the name of the prize from
"Snobbel-prize" to "Nobel-prize". I have no problems
to see the connection, but this is still changing
information.
3) Besides Gyro, Scrooge, Donald and other characters
from Duckburg this story also includes Mickey Mouse
which according to the present donaldistic "paradigm"
is a character who doesn't exist in the
"Duck-universe". Instead he lives in a
"Mouse-universe" in a place called Mouseton. So even
thoug these places for some reason is both called
"Andeby"/"Andeborg"/"Ankkalinna", etc. in Europe, this
story contradict the present donaldistic "paradigm" on
these matters.
4) You didn't add any note about your source (it's a
golden rule for historians to give proper references
to all sources).
Any way mentioning an event of this kind in the
presentation of Duckburg's history is a very good idea
and some day I will probably add a reference to the
award Gyro was given in a Barks story (mentioned in an
other DCML-mail recently) to my "The Lives and Times
in Duckburg" pages.
Best regards from
Sigvald :-)

Well, not exactly the same picture but a redrawn version. (Strange, why
didn't they used the original?)
It was published in German Micky Maus No. 51 and 52 / 1976 in two parts. One
issue later (No. 1 / 1977) there was a new "Schnipp-Liste" (things you cold
order after having collected some "schnipp"-coupons). The poster was
awaylable for 6 coupons then.
I've made some scans. Look at -> http://www.seite42.de/parade.htm
(might take a time to load the pictures)

Introduction of myself and some other things
Message 285 -
2002-05-30 at 20:42:54
Ciao to all; first I have to introduce myself. My name is Alessandro, I live
in Roma and I'm another of those mad Italian Disney fans. I joined this list
some months ago (I don't remember exactly when, but it was in 2001) and I
want to say thanks to all of you for all news, episodes and facts I learned
reading your threads. I hope this one will be the first of a long series of
messages by myself, ending this period of lurking (but I like much more to
say observing). And I hope you'll forgive me for my English!
First of all a question: I followed the thread about Dutch, Netherlands and
so on (here in Italy the official name of the country is Paesi Bassi, but in
daily talking we always use Olanda); then today I was reading an old
Gladstone album (n. 26 of Gladstone Comic Album Series) with "Mickey and
Donald in The Case of the Vanishing Coats" by Gottfredson. In a panel Donald
says "Oh-boy-oh-boy! Am I in dutch with uncle Amos?". This sentence really
puzzled me; what does it means?
This first question takes me to a second one: this list is almost totally
Duck-oriented, and also comic book-oriented, because I noticed some artists
like Gottfredson and Taliaferro are rarely remembered. Being now easy to
understand for you that I like really much these two artists, I wish to have
your opinion about them.
And to end this message: five years ago at Expocartoon Don Rosa signed me
the first chapter of Lo$ (Gladstone's Uncle $crooge Adventures) and the Zio
Paperone Duck Family Tree poster with a personal dedication for me ("To
Alessandro"); I didn't suppose, and still I don't suppose that now that
album and that poster loosed their commercial value, or that in a future
I'll can sell it only to Italian Alessandros; in my heart they are the most
important pieces of my Disney collection and I'll never sell them, like I
don't want to sell any other piece of my collection (and this is for me a
chance to say again "Grazie" to Don).
Have a nice day - Alessandro (Alle for web friends ;-)
P.S.: my greatest congratulations to Didier Ghez for having printed his book
about Disneyland Paris!
