This book does not include "most or all oil-paintings" by Barks. It
contains ONLY the Disney paintings and ONLY those made in the 1970's.
Within these limits, however, it is nearly complete. I don't remember
how many copies were printed, but it was a limited edition all right.
There have been plans for some years now to publish an extended edition
of this book, but the problems with this still remain usolved, AFAIK.

Scandinavia has published one Rosa HC so far - in Finland they have 4.
It would be here, or Italy that such a book should be seen. - But the
publisher would have to be very much in the process. Maybe fans (I
volunteer!!) could be helpfull in the process too and the book could be
printed by demand if such is possible. I'd know many here and many on
other forums and lists that would order a copy. Could the publishers
who are here please tell us how much we should get our hopes down on a
dream like this? No doubt it wouldn't be worth the money printing for
them - they wouldn't earn on it - and I bet it isn't enough to have the
costs covered... - How would the cartoonist himself think about the
idea?
BTW I have to ask one question: When you dream that you're reading a
new duck pocket book and some picture story with a girl you know turns
up in it - what do you think that girl means for you?`Would you all
please check if she's in the new pocket in your country?! (No, please
don't... LOL...)

That's Asger Jensen - and yes the page is sadly down and we haven't
heard from Asger for a long time. Sigvald and I do plan to make a new
page
taking up the Barks references and other references. These would be
included there.
I do remember sending Asger some references - eg. the talking dog in
that story
- the one who said times are tough old pal.
I also noticed the Smorgie-costume, but never could find out where that
disguise came from.
Sagmore Springs Hotel of course - where Donald goes from potato pealer
to director to
potato peal squasher (or whatever it was that the monkey did before
him...)

I know this might be a little late now, but I'm just catching up on the last
few weeks of digests. With regards to the Mad Duke's Castle - it's entirely
possible that it's a relatively new building. There is a castle here in
Toronto that was built in the early 1900s, and was abandoned not too long
after it was built when the owner went broke. It sat empty for decades, and
was falling apart before it was turned into a tourist attraction. The same
kind of thing might be said for the Mad Duke's place: it was just left to
fall apart, and the Duckburg rain and winters probably didn't help any!
Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Politics in Duckburg
Message 163 -
2002-07-18 at 10:12:24
Hi all!
In the latest Norwegian Donald Duck Pocket (# 259)
there is a story by Stefano Ambrosio and Giorgio
Cavazzano (I-2387-1) about an election campaign for a
new mayor in Duckburg. However there are some bad
logic in this story and even a bug in translation of
this story. This being:
a) Almost every citizen seems to be a candidate for
the job as a mayor at least in the Duck/McDuck family.
I would think that in Duckburg as in the rest of the
US, there would only be a few candidates for the job
as a mayor, because one would need both strong
economic and moral support to go for such a campaign.
b) HD&L are candidates even though they are children.
That's absurd. It should be obvious that people in
Duckburg would acquire the right to vote and the right
to be a candidate for an election campaign at the age
of 18 as it is most other civilised societies in the
world.
c) There is a BIG BUG in the translation where the
founder of Duckburg is called Cornelius Kraas or
something like that instead of Cornelius Coot. Such
bugs must be confusing to kids and young readers so I
would suggest that Egmont in the future should hire
translators who at least knows the basics about
Duckburg and its history.
Sigvald :-)

of 18 as it is most other civilised societies in the
world.
c) There is a BIG BUG in the translation where the
founder of Duckburg is called Cornelius Kraas or
something like that instead of Cornelius Coot. Such
bugs must be confusing to kids and young readers so I
would suggest that Egmont in the future should hire
translators who at least knows the basics about
Duckburg and its history.

Hi all!
I have noticed that NAFS(k)urien # 31 has a cover
drawn by Don Rosa. This leads me to the following
questions:
a) Has Don Rosa drawn other covers for NAFS(k)urien?
And if so, on what issues?
b) Does there exist an I.N.D.U.C.K.S. code for the
cover of NAFS(k)urien # 31?
c) What is the actual size of the cover af
NAFS(k)urien #31? (is it A4? A5? or something else?)
Sigvald :-)

Hi all!
Sorry that NAFS(k)urien was written wrongly in the
header of my latest mail to this list.
It seems that our Swedish friends haven't botthered to
include the year NAFS(k)urien # 31 was published on
it's cover so I have to ask if anyone her knows that?
Sigvald :-)
