No, I don't!!!

My answer to your last mail prove that. If it's
still your opinion that I contradict myself you
should try to prove it in a decent way in stead
of using this dirty tricks.

Why??? Just because my opinion about Ludwigs background
differ from your opinion???

One might have one's opinions about other list members, but please keep
them off this list. DCML is not a place for personal attacks, and I
don't think a flame war would help anyone or do any good.

That's just my opinion, of course, but I hope others share it with me.

Thanks for the translation Gilles. I like what you said about Ludwig
using old and wierd words...that fits his personality very well.

about Glory-bee, I used the only picture i had of her, from a

About the fact that Penny and Glory-bee aren't the same, you
may be right. I didn't know the characters so much...
I left the Goofy family tree and the mouse one to only take
care of and finish the duck one, but i'll return to them after
i finnish the Duck one, and about ophal dizzy, tessie and the
others, i'm already aware of their existence (i've made some
researches on INDUCKS), and i'm just waiting a bit...

Thank you for the informationas about Asa Duck, Simon and Harry,
i'll add him to my tree... that'd be cool if someone could provide
a scan of him :-)

About "Dirty tricks", I think it's going a bit too far, and you
should all stop, because you ALL look silly when you are sending
such messages here, and you are making all the dcmailers become
silly, and I don't want to be silly because...well... BECAUSE!!!!

Regarding this "Grandma Duck" that Gilles has been good enough to post for
us:

http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/Characters/formergrandma.gif

- she is shown wearing the kind of clothing that would have been worn by
middle and upper class ladies in America around the year 1800, very old
fashioned indeed. See portraits of George Washington's wife Martha, as an
example of a grandmotherly figure from the time. The hat is called a mob
cap, and the shawl would have been worn tucked into the top of the dress, as
shown in the first panel (both would have been white, however, even at
Christmas time). The ladies then kept their very long hair coiled up under
the cap. The beehive hairdo we usually see on Grandma came in style later
on. I suspect this is the same Grandma, who has simply updated her
fashions, and put on a few extra pounds in more recent times.

In Brazil we have both forms.

You're right! The mix-up here occured because:

1) In Brazil Disney characters usually have no family names
(as I said in another post only now the editors are
worrying about that) and then Brazilian writers (including me)
never get bothered about surnames when creating new relatives,
especially for only one story.

2) In Brazil people usually address other people by
their first name: "Mr. Arthur", not "Mr. Faria".
This is another good reason for not getting bothered
about comic characters' surnames over here, especially
funny animals.

3) In Brazil Gyro Gearloose is known just as
"Professor Pardal", where "Pardal" is not considered
as a family name, it's actually his *first* name,
something like "Professor Gyro". So, "Neco Pardal"
(a double first name, also common in Brazil)
can't be (technically) translated to "Neco Gearloose",
or "Manuel Gearloose" or whatever, as I wrongly stated.
Sorry! And more: all his relatives in Brazil use "Pardal"
(or derivations like "Pardalino") in their names just
as a reference to the readers. ...Phew!

Well, after that, I still think Neco Pardal is not
Ratchet's father (a Carl Barks character!!).
He is... the father of the mother of Gyro's mother.
With so many creative inventors in both branchs
of his family, it's not a surprise that Gyro is
so... ingenious, is it? ;-)

Now, about the family name of Gyro's mother...
I have no idea!!!!!!!! ;-)

Yes, I recall this same statement, and I had several subscriptions with
Gladstone at the time they relinquished the license. But it's been three
years and I have since moved to a different city. I wonder how I can
possibly update them with my new address? Surely there will be others with
the same problem.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I suspect that there will also be
people with an even more serious problem, having moved beyond the reach
of any post office. :( Gladstone's successors will find themselves in
some embarrassing situations, having to deal both with grateful people
who will be receiving one last gift from their departed loved ones,
and with irate people who will feel that the resumed subscription is a
mockery.

This might be:
W DD 30-02, 14 pages, Fallberg/Bradbury, no title
[desc:Pokerface mine] [xapp:DD,HDL,GL]

The guy's Dutch name is Jeremias Borstel. German: Schwindolar Schwan.

The story was reprinted in ZP 150, and this version will be used in a future
Dutch DD Extra.

Arthur:

DD 30 was published in 1953, while the other beggar cousin stories were from
the 1970s. So there may not be a connection at all, just coincidence.

Ah, that explains what I've been wondering about for years: why Brazilian
footballers often are called Romario, Ronaldo, etc. while we say for
instance "Cruijff" or "Johan Cruijff", but never just "Johan".

Also thanks for your explanation about Brazilian producktion!

Can anyone tell the initiated, like me, what sort of drawing pen would the likes of Tony Strobl, Carl Barks & Gottredson use to illustrate their strips?

Thanks
