i dont know about you being slow, but yes, the musical "annie" was based on
the comic strip: Little Orphan Annie (with the politics removed: Gray was an
FDR-bahser)

steven rowe

Yes, Daddy Warbucks was a good american who made his fortune selling arms
and was very proud (like Annie) of his honest work. Is something like the
father of "Commander Barbara" (?) from Bernard Shaw. Anyway, like Scrooge
McDuck, he would lost all his money for regain trough his skills in
business.
I always think, that Daddy Warbucks would be some influence in the Scrooge's
characterization, but I'm not sure.

Beyond all that, I can say that "Little Orphan Annie" is a great comic, I
think is fascinant.

Hi all,

I didn't read about this in the ML so far, so I wanted to tell you:

In the German weekly Micky Maus the editors did some things relating
to the (at that point) upcoming election of the German parliament.
They published several stories related to politics over the last
weeks and also did some elections for the major of Duckburg. An
indirect link to the actual campaigns in Germany was the name of a
small boy in one of the stories: Gerd-Edmund, mixing the first names
of the two candidates Gerhard Schroeder and Edmund Stoiber...

Candidates with the actual no. of votes:
- Donald 3525
- Micky 2118
- Scrooge 925
- Goofy 890
- a Beagle Boy 377
- Grandma Duck 361,
but the votes sent in by snail mail still not included.

In their newsletter Ehapa stated they got even a request from a
famous German museum (don't remember which, but related to German
history and/or politics) for the albums to be archived.

What are your comments on this, i.e. following actual main topics in
the "adult world" with stories and interactive things?

And another thing that puzzled me lately:
In some albums included are reader polls to be sent back as feedback.
In the case of the weekly Micky Maus, not targeted towards
collectors, but mainly on kids, should an relatively old collector
like me (26) send that in?

I fear that my judgment on pages containing special interest stuff /
no comics will be different from that one of the average buyer of it.
So do you see the danger, too, to take influence promoting my own,
"not target-group" opinion in a way that moves the product "Micky
Maus" away from the opinion's group that pays the most!

Yours, SoerenSoeren Schridde

Frag mal Deine Nachbarin, ob sie damit einverstanden ist,
wenn der Brieftr?ger vor ihren Augen ihre Post ?ffnet,
den Inhalt mit dem Lesestift abscannt und ihr erkl?rt,
diese Unterlage jetzt zur Polizei zu bringen, damit sie
dort sieben Jahre gespeichert und ausgewertet werden kann.
Das ist vielleicht ein bisschen weniger abstrakt als

Hi..
I just bought the newest 'Aku Ankka' with second part of the "The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut" here in Finland and I'm quite confused. I know that in some countries Matilda's hair colour is brown and Hortensy's yellow (and this is what Don intended, if I'm not mistaken?), and in some countries including Finland it has always been counterwise. But with the first part of the Sharpie came a poster, and there the colours were (for the first time I've seen in Finland) right with Matilda's yellow hair and Hortensy's brown (was it coloured by Don himself, or in some country where they support the "right pattern"?).
But that's not the thing that confused me most: in the actual story, Scrooge's _both_ sisters had brown hair (Hortense's hair being a bit darker). And now, in the second part of the very same story, colours are again "normal" (ie. Matilda has brown hair and Hortense yellow)!
Could anyone tell what's happening?

Sincerely,
Jaakko

PS. And by the way, greetings to you all as this is my first post to the list, although I have been reading this for some time already :)

I must vigorously disagree with these prejudiced & unnecessary comments. And
in addition these views are in a minority. The Richie Rich character has
appeared in one of the most successful comics of all time. He was
illustrated by very talented artists such as Ernie Colon & Warren Kramer.
The Harvey comics tended to appeal to younger children, not the 'mature'
audience that now is interested in Scrooge McDuck. Hence they tended to be
more light weight but nonetheless of high quality artwork. Please direct
such scathing abuse to more worthy targets.

Hi!

>>He gives the chief a coin with "a miniature portrait of the chief of my

>> reads: "ooo---chief 'quarter-dollar'! Most impressive".

*chuckle*

>> Scrooge gave him an American quarter-dollar with an
>> American president's portrait on it?
>> Scrooge couldn't do that, because George Washington

Impressive detective work, and quite an interesting fact: so such portraits appeared fairly late in
the history of American currency. how about the bills? Does your source have info on that as well?

Thanks, Larry!

Olivier,
wondering how many mint (ad) pages from U$ # 1
his little cache of portraits of the late chief "1 Franc"
will be worth in 50 years...
