Hi, all!
I can see that Barks' ex-managers Bill Grandey and Kathy Morby are currently discussed in this forum. They might had a wish to be helpful to old Barks, but the results of their influence indeed had the contrary effect. From what I have heard from well-informed sources ?Morbid & Gready?, as they are called by many Donaldists, were the ones who tried to create bad feelings between Carl Barks and Don Rosa. They also made Barks come up with some crap about Donald?s origin, etc. when interviewed - most probably to harm Don Rosa?s work. Luckily Morbid & Gready was fired so that Barks and Rosa could eventually meet. That historic meeting took place in Barks? home in Oregon during the summer of 1998.

A technical note:
I think that would be the kind of thing more suitable for a webpage, rather
than emails exchanging: it's not recomended to transfer big amounts of data
on emails, because the receiver usually downloads it all automatically
without even confirming it (one could get his/her email account blocked due
to a big amount of hughe messages enqueued). So, it's better to upload it
all on a webpage, so anyone can download every single file "on demand".
By the other side, if many contributors join the project, the host server
will soon run out of webspace. So I think the best solution is a WEBRING:
one website indexing the contributions on external servers, and every
contributor mantaining scanned stories on his webpages (I think many people
in this list already mantains webrings).
That's, of corse, IMHO ;-)

Question

Right now I'm in discussion with someone and I don't want to tell nonsense.
There is a Dutch book written by Jaap van Ginneken about cartoon characters
(Asterix, Rintintin and Donald Duck were mentioned in a TV-interview this
morning). He was comparing the nature and problems of these characters to
the psychological problems hidden in the lives of their creators.
Would he have to look at Walt Disney for Donald Duck, as he claims? Wouldn't
Carl Barks be much more logical?
Sorry to appear on your interesting list, but I really want to know.

Greetings fellow members. I am now back home, after working several months in
Germany. During my time there, I noticed that the form of my receiving DCML
digested messages changed to an envelope note with no message, which contained
the messages in the form of attachments. I was not able to open those
attachments while away from my own desktop computer (I have no notebook
computer). I was not sure whether or not this same state of affairs would
exist when on my home computer. To my dismay, it does. I speculate that my
built in security system is preventing their opening. But, I am not sure of
that. I am very shaky, when it comes to computer and internet-related topics
and knowledge. I wrote a note to Per to find out what computer downloading
tools or configurations are needed to open the attachments. He has not yet
answered me. I have observed that many of you are very knowledgeable about
computers and the internet. I can tell you that I have "Acrobat Reader", in
addition to the "normal" screening, reading and downloading tools built in to
any desktop computer from the "major" PC makers (in 1997 - when mine was
built). Currently, I must go to the DCML Archives to read new messages. This
is inconvenient,-compared to having the messages sitting right there in my e-
mail every morning. Is there anyone who can tell me the secret to opening the
attachments? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Rob Klein

Strange problem. Usually attachments can be opened by clicking the
envelope-icon in the upper right corner of the message - or there is a
link in the end of the message (depends on the software you're using).
You are not required the get any new software to open them.
However, I suggest you try unsubscribing and then subscribing right back
to the list. This might fix the problem by itself. Problem might have
something to do with the digest-format.

Since discussion about Donna & Mac has settled some, and Armando Botto was
so kind as to send me some scans of these characters, I've made them
available for all to see. Armando, I made them a tad smaller in filesize
to save some server space, but otherwise they are in tact.
First, there's Mac:
http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/donald and mac.jpg
As was said, he's a dognose character, apparently somewhat of a "sea dog"
as it were. LOL! I'd love to see these comics reprinted! Don't confuse
Mac with the "other" Sea captain (with the peg-leg) in the strip.
Now for one of the "lost loves" of Donald's life: Donna Duck!
Yep, at least in some places her surname was clearly designated as "Duck."
http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/gh 1937-01 don donald.jpg
Then, there's the infamous meeting of Daisy & Donna, which lends credit to
the understanding that, at least in the comics, they are NOT the same
person.
http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/daisy_donna.jpg
And finally, Donna's fiance', Manuel Gonzales:
http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/donna_manuel.jpg
I, too, suspect it was Mr. Taliaferro's "inside" joke making a caricature
of the creator Manuel Gonzales. I wonder if Mr. Gonzales is the "creator"
of Donna Duck or if his real-life wife was named Donna... that would be
funny. ;-)
Still, "If" Donna "is" Daisy's sister, and "if" Donna and Manuel married,
does that suppose that Manuel is April, May & June's father???? LOL!
Enjoy.

It would be much easier to detect who the poor soul is, if you could

In "From Duckburg to Lillehammer", Don Rosa shows us that Donald had played a part in the Olympic Games in Lillehammer. This story is from 1994, when there were the olympic games in Lillehammer. But Don's Duck stories are said to happen in the 1950's (from 1947 to 1960, exactly. Has there been other Olympic games in Lillehammer in the 1950's???
