I've forwarded your message to her, but I'm not sure how closely they track
individual country's editions. If she can find out, I'll let you all know.
BUT! I would write to them and ask to have it run in your local edition.

If you haven't done so, take a look at my page about Duckburg Religion:

I checked some things, and I got it now. I read it from Finnish book about
animation by Juho Gartz "Animaatioelokuvat"(1978 published by Finnish Film
Foundation). Looks like mr Gartz have made an error. Gartz writes on his
paragraph about Disney mentioning "mickeymousing" (I didn't remember this
english term also was given here) and he explains it to be perfect
synchroning. Hit by hit all sounds perfectly synchronized with the
movements. He even translated it as "mikkihiirisynkka" "mickey mouse synch".
It looks that more precisely mickeymousing means something like making MUSIC
fit a scene in a pointedly rhythmic manner, music blatantly matches the
action. It's not quite the same as speaking and ALL other sounds in synch
with animation.

slight mistranslation,
and my miscomprehension
plus bad recollection... :-/

Everyone:

1. Sigvald: Teddy Roosevelt had TWO wives, Anne (who died young) and Edith
(who was his wife when he occupied the White House).

2. The expression "mickey mouse -----" originated, I believe, in reaction to
the "tinny," "ricky-ticky" musical accompaniments of the earliest sound
cartoons. Only later did it come into use as a general adjective for
something having little depth.

For Carmen:
The great view of the harbour/port and railroad yard of Duckburg was in the
opening splashpanel of Donald Duck in "The Magic Hourglass"; Barks epic story
from 1950.

I agree with you that the Vampire State Building and Limpspire State Building
should be important landmarks in Duckburg regardless of their inclusion for gag
purposes (only), each in only one story. I don't suggest that Don include both
as individual members of the select 12. But, perhaps he can draw them both in
a Duckburg Financial/Commercial Centre scene, along with The McDuck Building
and Stock Market.

Perhaps a second composite scene could show the Civic Centre, including the
following: City Hall, Calisota State Capitol Building, Duck County Couthouse,
Opera House.

In short, I feel that there are TOO MANY very important landmarks in Duckburg
to choose only 12.

Hello duckburgians,

Today, June 29th, birthday of Don Rosa, we have published our scandinavian
donaldist community on the web. It's a community where you, as a member
(don't cost you a thing), can discuss and talk with other donaldists as
well, by forum, internal mail, etc. Each member has their own presentation
page about him/herself. You can view the site in four languages; english,
danish, swedish and norwegian.

The community is still under developement, so you may have some troubles
with the language or empty pages, but we promise these problems will be
solved asap.

Welcome to hang around, and tell us your opinion.

Hopefully, yes. :-)

I looked it up in the original text of the "Forbidden Valley" story now.
They are talking about cucumbers all right, but the bug is an "augur-nosed
pickle hater", a menace to the "pickle crop". This puzzles me a bit. I mean,
you don't harvest pickles, do you? You first harvest cucumbers and then
pickle them, I would imagine. Even in the rural parts.
