It seems that you can order the Japanese edition from here:

Just in case the above was addressed to me, let me point out that I was
merely pointing out the two ways that an English-speaking person who
is not familiar with the word "Boer", like Scrooge seemed to be, would
perceive the word when they first heard it. Presumably, this was also
Don's intention in that gag, and if it was a slur (or, more likely,
a gibe) against anybody, it was against people who refuse to learn
foreign languages, filtering what they hear through their own language.

As for Boers being stereotyped as being associated with any kind of
political and social views, I wouldn't know anything about it.

AND I RESPOND:

Well, not completely. I' the one who made the choice of BellSouth as my ISP
so I could get DSL service. I don't regret that choice to get the speed,
but I knew going in that at the time BellSouth did not really know how to
run a network. Being a network administrator myself (currently between
assignments), I hoped they would eventually figure things out, and now they
are getting close. Unfortunately, to fix some things they have to "break"
others, and the hosting services fall into that category.

I'm pretty confident that this is the last move the pages will ever have to
make. I'm sorry for the inconvenience to all the faithful visitors. Maybe
I can make it up to you by adding some content in the next few weeks. How
would everyone like to see a few pictures of Don in his studio, surrounded
by his Ducks?

Hello my friends!

As everybody around here knows I'm having contac with Mr Renato Canini and
getting lot's of info from his 70's Disney stories.

His style isn't close to the tradicional Disney style, as Cavazzano wasn't,
as Barks wasn't and as many, many others aren't conected with the
tradicional way to do an Disney figure at the time they've made. Al this
artists, helped to EXPAND the Disney style of drawing and helped to
stabilish new GRAPHIC frontiers to Disney comics and to Disney in general.

It's not important if Disney didn't permited Canini to continues his drawing
in Disney Comics...'cause after SIX YEARS publishing into an OFFICIAL Disney
comic book (and still with republishing of his work), Canini presented an
graphic expansion to the Disney style that I just saw on Cavazzano and on
recent times, when they go behind famous cartunists to helped then to
develop new designs for his movies, as Hercules, the Genie in Aladdin,
Atlantis, etc.

So...in the opinion of yours, what artists went more distant in the frontier
of the Disney style in the time of his/her production? (For example, today
Cavazanno's art aren't impressive today as it was in the 70's and 80's,
'cause lot's of drawers try to do exactily the SAME style.)

Remeber, talking in graphic terms, of Design and graphism. :-)

I think it's an marvelous point of discussion! And I'm sure you'll help me
to develop an better look on that subject to my monography!

Fernando!
(someone with an "under stress" Disney style to comics! ;-)

Not quite. Actually, Daisy first appeared in the 1940 animated cartoon
"Mr. Duck Steps Out" (for which Barks was the story director, btw).
Also, Al Taliaferro had been using her in the Donald Duck newspaper
strip since 1940. It is true, however, that it was only three months
later, in WDC 36, that Barks first showed Daisy in one of his comics.
Flat-bosomed, needless to say.

Very nice! Two remarks though:
1. "Sirse" is spelled the wrong way. Circe would look like KIPKH in Greek.
2. Magica's breasts are very... er... un-Disney... 8-)
