Barks' skunk oil factory was translated into margarine factory in
Scandinavia. Later, it has become an established fact (more or less) in
Scandinavia that Donald works at the margarine factory. Some stories have
used this as a theme.

Hi all!

Yesterday I was told this:

Today I checked again - for the 3rd time!, and what do
I find? Nothing, absolutely NOTHING! And the CANON ad
is NOT on the page I was told it would be. It's on
page 24 (including the cover). I asked the librarian
who said that the magazine I was looking in IS
American.

So what the he.. is going on here? Does there exist
more than one version off each issue? If so why?

I am sorry if I look a bit upset, but I have been
waiting for this article for some weeks now, and this
bl... mess makes me fell cheated by NG, a magazine I
once considered serious. Now I am not sure anymore,
because how can anyone seriously remove or disregard
stuff about the greatest master of them all just like
that??? And what a stupid tittle "No Mickey Mouse
Artist". What have Micky to with Carl Barks? Any sane
magazine would certainly have described Barks as "The
Great Duck Artist" or something like that. I can
hardly imagine any Scandinavian magazine would ever do
such blunders as the ones now presented by NG.

BTW, can anyone please do a scan and put it on-line
somewhere?

well he did do a Mickey Mouse story.....
but
to call him "No Mickey Mouse Artist" means that he is a serious important
artist.

And because of this translation, we have had actual stories where we have
seen Donald working in margarine factory. One story even had streets of
Duckburg flooding with melted margarine. And statues made out of margarine
(quite silly).
About skunk oil, check this site about old remedies:

Remedies of the Old Days
By Amy Troolin, Research Room Coordinator
"Many people relied on skunk oil to cure their colds. Yes, skunk oil. Most
people put a few drops of the stuff onto a teaspoon of sugar; others
attempted an entire spoonful. Some even rubbed skunk oil on their chests for
easier breathing. "

Barks must have remembered his youth and the skunk oil remedy.
Yep!

Strange! Floyd Gottfredson and Paul Murry did a lot of
Mickey stories AND they are both still AFAIK
considered serious important artists by most comic
lovers.

"By Godfrey" is an USA acceptable way of saying "by God"
and Eleanor Roosevelt was married to Franklin Roosevelt, not Teddy.

Mickey Mouse Artist.
