>b) In Italian and English: an essay on Paul Murry "PM: Mice, Ducks and

So, this sounds really interesting. Does it have all the text both in
Italian AND in English? How could one get this publication?
I'd be eager to have one, if it really have all articles in English too.

I thought that the "canon" on DCML is that there is NO canon.
Because once Harry Fluks argued that one source, or one creator
like Barks or like Don Rosa is not necessarily canon.

Glomgold Facilities
Message 125 -
2002-11-09 at 19:42:30
Greetings members. I hope someone comments on Duckburg's Population FIGURES
themselves, rather than only methodology of estimatation assumptions.
Sigvald: I did NOT say that Glomgold had his World-Wide Headquarters in
Duckburg. I only indicated that he and others (implying Rockerduck) had large
facilities there. It IS true, that Glomgold's World-Wide Headquarters are in
South Africa. Actually, only his Money Bin is shown by Barks in The Limpopo
Valley. That would only represent a PORTION of his Financial Headquarters.
Just as Scrooge has his McDuck Building and several other owned company offices
in Duckburg, separated from his Money Bin, I assume Glomgold has equivalent
other buildings/facilities. He has almost as much money as McDuck- so ALL his
Financial facilities and workers COULD NOT possibly fit into his Money Bin,
alone. I'm guessing that the REST of his World-Wide Financial facilities are
located in Johannesburg or Capetown. He probably would also have an office in
Pretoria to keep tabs on Government legislation, and to be able to lobby for
his own interests. A fairly large city (as Duckburg -(250.000 to 350.000)) with
a financial Centre, should be needed. So, the Money Bin in the Limpopo Valley
is not Glomgold's only Financial headquarters building. The difference from
Scrooge needing only to walk from HIS Money Bin to his McDuck Building, is that
Glomgold has a long commute. Although he is a severe miser as is Scrooge, he
must expend a fair amount of money to commute to Jo-Burg or Capetown, probably
at least once per week. The rest of the days could be spent giving orders by
telephone or e-mail from his Money Bin. A certain amount of face-toface contact
is needed, to keep one's underlings on their toes!
Although, it is true that all the stories showing Glomgold's large offices in
Duckburg were written and drawn by artists other than Barks, I yet assume that
those artists were not wrong in their use. As Scrooge has a World-Wide
Financial Empire, with offices in all major cities, so should Glomgold. I'm
sure McDuck has offices in BOTH Capetown AND Johannesburg. So must Glomgold
have offices in Duckburg. He must keep an eye on his rival. He is a crooked
businessman. He would need industrial spies. It would be easier for them to
work out of a large LOCAL "legal" commercial facility.
For Olivier: Yes, I received the Hachette addresses you sent me. Thanks very
much. I sent mails to them promptly, but have received no answers. Sorry about

A terrible misunderstanding!
Message 127 -

Hi, all!
I now realise that my posting here on DCML regarding the
spam-mail from Nigeria was based upon a terrible
misunderstanding. The Nigerian Spam-mail is the very first
spam/virus mail I have ever received on my new duckburg.dk
mail-address. That's why I believed it came via DCML since
95% of the e-mails which reached that mailbox are coming
from DCML.
But since the "fa.disney-comics" newsgroup is the only
place on-line where my new duckburg.dk mail-address can
be found, it is most likely where the spamers have found
my address. So in that way DCML may be involuntary involved
in this after all?
Any way, I am very, very, very sorry about this incident
and promises that I will be much more careful in the future.

Yes, all the text is in English also. The ten biography pages I referred to
are equally shared between Italian and English (and so the REAL text is
shorter than 10 pages... sorry!). Images are reproductions of USA originals,
with English text.
Well, the publisher is
"Glamour International Production" (but the book reports "Glamour
Associated")
via A.F. Doni 28 - 50144 Firenze (Italy)
tel & fax number: (0039)(055)352450 (I think the "0" in 055 must not be
dialed when calling from abroad). Only one number for phone and fax:
probably it's a very little office... Try first with a fax.
I've found also a site http://www.glamourinternational.com/home.php but it
looks "under construction" in some pages; beside - this new publication isn'
t listed yet (!). The "contact" form is a bit user un-friendly, asking so
many personal data... Perhaps it would be better to inquire some italian
comic shop but in this case I don't know anything about fares.
"Profili Album" - Paul Murry: Mice, Ducks and Cheesecake. 52 pages, 24x31
cm, softcover, stapled (is that correct? I mean "fixed with staples").
Edited by Alberto Becattini and Antonio Vianovi. Be careful not to write
simply "Profili" because there is another serie with this name.
Here in Italy the purchase is surely worthwhile, from abroad it depends on
shipping fares...

After having sent my previous email, I realize I forgot to ask
some questions of my own:
What exactly are printing plates?
And are they from a certain period, or are they still used today?
I remember having seen gold-coloured plates for newspapers, which
looked like a giant stamp, containing a relief with a mirrored
picture of what has to be printed on paper. Is that a printing
plate?

For "pizen", I refer you to the following piece of dialog from
Gottfredson's "Race to Riches" (e.g., Mickey Mouse #238):
> Squinch: "Ye're in the wrong pool, man! That's a poisoned one!"
> Pete: "It ain't, neither! Thuh pizen's there!"
Thus, it would seem that "pizen" is an idiomatic way of pronouncing
"poison".
As for "bluff", according to my dictionary:
> *bluff*, _adj_. 1. with a broad steep front, _a bluff headland_.
> 2. abrupt, frank, and hearty in manner.
> *bluff* _n._ a bluff headland or cliff.
Thus, in this context, a bluff would be a steep cliff, and "Pizen Bluff"
would mean "Poison Cliff", presumably because there is a cliff and
posioned water nearby--not a very hospitable place!
I wouldn't be suprised if Don informs us that this is the name of a
real town!

Pizen Bluff
Message 133 -
2002-11-10 at 10:58:15
For M.J. Prior:
Pizen Bluff is Barks' title; "Pizen" is an old slang
spelling
he used for "poison" or "poisoned". "Bluff" is a geology term meaning
a high riverbank or a cliff. In California we have a town on the
Sacramento River called "Red Bluff". "Bluff" is used occasionally
as part of a place name.
This is a story about an old mining ghost (abandoned) town.
I think Barks' use of the name "poisoned" Bluff refers the water
contamination and other environmental problems that often
occur with mining operations.
The title chosen by the translators certainly isn't a
translation of Barks' title, but rather their own title based on the
contents of the story----probably a better title since the story
is about wind blowing the old buildings around.
Best wishes,
Larry Giver.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the flat shading, and might even like
4-color halftoning, at least for old stories, though I'm not so sure
about that. I felt there was something wrong with the elaborate coloring
in the Celestial Arts "Uncle Scrooge--His Life and Times" album, and I
agree with the observation which someone made about how colorists seem
to be overdoing it with computer shading, making all stories take place
at sunrise or sunset! However, as I'm mostly interested in the stories
themselves, I don't care whether they use old-fashioned coloring or
not. If elaborate computer coloring is what it takes to attract a new
generation of readers, publishers have my blessing to do so, though
I suspect that "modern generation" and "readers" is fast becoming a
contradiction in terms; I gather that this is already the case in the
US. :(

not. If elaborate computer coloring is what it takes to attract a new
generation of readers, publishers have my blessing to do so, though
I suspect that "modern generation" and "readers" is fast becoming a
contradiction in terms; I gather that this is already the case in the
US. :(

Hum...Daniel, I think an printing plate is an piece of metal were is
engraved the porcentages of one of the 4 colors (cyan, yellow, magenta and
black), and it's used into the final printer.
If I remember my classes in college weel, it was engraved 4 differente
pieces (for each color). And some extra, if the final impression will have
some special color.
If this plates your "friend" has are of the black channel, he has an
important thing on hands, since I PRESUME it's totally possible to use it
not just to reprint, but to recovery the inked page. Specially 'cause lot's
of Disney stories doesn't have originals or even photolits archived!!!
Probably it look's inverted...I think!
