This question is directed to Don Rosa but I ask him here because I thought it
could interrest people here...
It is about Scrooge's paternal grandfather...
The character only appears in your Duck Family Tree...
In the original American version, this character is called "Dirty" Dingus
McDuck. Dingus McDuck was a SCOTTISH MINER.
Doing some researches with my friends from dcml, my comics collection and
inducks, I found that in the story "The Search for Cyril", from "Donald Duck"
# 70, from 1960 Bob Gregory and Tony Strobl already gave a grandpa to
Scrooge. His name was Titus McDuck (TitUS sounds a little bit like DingUS),
and he is a SCOTTISH MINER too!...
I thought that maybe you had been inspired from the character to create your
Dingus...

But the story doesn't stop there!!! Titus McDuck was translated Titus Von
Anka into Swedish. And guess what was Dingus' translation? Titus Von Ankka
too ! ! ! So I decided to consider them as the same character in my Duck
Family Tree...
So my questions are :
1)Have you ever been inspired by Titus to create Dingus?
2)Did you know about the swedish translation of Dingus?

I was also wondering if you had already seen this tree :
http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/gisletree.html
It's a tree from 1973... (more on the page)

and I was wondering if, before to build your own tree, you had seen that one:
http///goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/germantree.html

In both trees, "whitewater" Duck is Fethry's brother, and they have been
published before yours... Did you get the idea about making whitewater
Fethry's brother from one of these trees, or did you have the idea yourself?

Best regards,

Hi!
I recently updated my Cow Family Tree page on my website Calisota Online :
http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/mycowtree.html
I need help about three characters :

*In "Horsecollar's Movie Star Cousin" (S 81198), from 1983, first published
in the Brazilian "Z? Carioca" #1665, also published in "<A HREF="http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/S+81198//issue.php/0/it/TL+1469">Topolino (Libretto)"
#1469</A> (1984), the German "<A HREF="http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/S+81198//issue.php/0/de/G+1984-12">Goofy" #1984-12</A> (1984) , and "<A HREF="http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/S+81198//issue.php/0/it/CD++162">I Classici di Walt
Disney seconda serie" #162</A> * (1990), Horace's star cousin comes and visit
him.
I need a scan of the character to add him in the tree, and I also need his
original name.

*"La Cugina Petunia" (I M 34-1), by Corrado Mastantuono and Fran?ois
Corteggiani, first published in "Minni & company" #34 (1996) and also
published in
<A HREF="http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/I+M++++34-1//issue.php/0/it/SCF+++2">"Storie col fiocco" #2</A> (1999) (it has also been published in the French
magazine
<A HREF="http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/I+M++++34-1//issue.php/0/fr/M++++26">Minnie Mag. 26</A> (1997), but I don't think that anybody has Minnie Mag's
here...)
I just need a scan of this character, as I already know her name : cousin
Petunia.

*In "The Beauty Queen" ("Pippo e la bella... "racchiona"", S 72290), from
1973, only published in "Topolino" #932 , Goofy's is asked by Mickey to
receive Clarabelle's cousin who is supposed to be ugly, but in fact she's
beautiful.
I need a scan of this cousin and also her original name

+

*I still miss a picture and references for Horace's sister dorothy Rich told
me about a while ago...

Then, if I get these characters, my Cow Family Tree will be definitively
finished!!!
(except if new stories with cow relative come out, but I checked well in coa,
and there aren't any other stories with cow relatives inthere...)

ciao

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the off topic post. Somebody on the list, or associated with it, seems to have the klez worm virus. My IT manager has asked me to leave dcml unless there is an improvement in the number of virus emails sent to me (currently between 1 to 3 per day). Can I suggest that people who don't know if they're covered for this virus please check, I'd hate to have to quit dcml because of somebody else! Thanks.

Shaun

Subscribe to DCML in text-only mode. And let it send digests only. Then
there will never be a virus attached to a DCML mail.

(BTW, I am receiving the individual mails, and I never get a virus either.
So I wonder what exacty you're talking about...)

Anyway, if you find a virus in an e-mail coming from DCML, please forward
that e-mail to the DCML admin address! Our admin Per can then, if necessary,
block the original sender.

--Harry.

To All:

Remember, Klez is a chameleon type worm that masquerades as being from a
sender in someone else's address book. That means there is someone out
there that has the DCML or it's members in his or her address book, and Klez
is grabbing that name and pretending to be the sender.

DCML may not be guilty at all, and ending your subscription will not stop
Klez from getting to you as long as YOUR name is in someone's address book.

I have also received the Klez virus several times recently. However, I
believe that they are sent from some individual (and not through DCML).

That way some non-infected messages might be wrongly sorted out.

I remember that a virus was sent through DCML several years ago. At that
time I think Per added a feature so that it wasn't possible to send "large"
messages to DCML. I don't know how large a "large" message is, but the Klez
virus is around 120-130 kB, and would probably be too large for DCML.

So even if the address the mail was sent from were a member of DCML, the
message wouldn't arrive to the list.

There is something that has always bothered me, which can be
summarised in a quick question....
Just what IS Gyro Gearloose's race?
At first, I thought he was a kind of parrot,
but that wouldn't make much sense, as parrots
haven't got white feathers, and we already know
a different parrot, Carioaca.
A goose? Too dissimilar to Gus I would say.
Has it been mentioned in any story at all ?
