Remember our discussion some months ago about Barks' WDC 165 where the
skunk oil miraculously changed into margarine in the Scandinavian and
the German translations?
The German translator, Dr. Erika Fuchs, has now commented on this. She
does not remember how the margarine came into play, but she assures that
she never translated from a Scandinavian language.
I think this leaves two possible conclusions:
a) the editors in Copenhagen "de-Americanized" Barks' text before
sending it to the translators
or
b) the Scandinavian translations of WDC 165 were indeed based on the
German version.

Last week in the shops: WINTERBOEK 2003. Mainly Egmont stories. Haven't
bought it yet.
Today in the shops: DE BESTE VERHALEN VAN DONALD DUCK #113: DD als
goudhaantje. Beautiful cover. Barks "Philosopher's Stone" reprint from
Italian ZIO PAPERONE with beautiful colours. Also a Barks/Jippes JW story
and a 4-page Gyro.
In a few weeks: DD POCKET #90, OOM DAGOBERT #69 (Don Rosa), EEN VROLIJKE
KERST MET DD (with one "new" story), DD DUBBELPOCKET #13.
And here are the anouncements for January till April 2003:
Week 8: JUNGLE BOEK 2: The book to the sequel to the film.
Week 8: DE BESTE VERHALEN VAN DONALD DUCK #114: DD als houthakker. Barks;
Paul Bunyan Machine. Again, a nice Jippes cover.
Week 18: OOM DAGOBERT #69 (Don Rosa, The Lost Dutchman's Mine)
Week 15: De avontuurlijkste reizen van DD #2: another Ben Verhagen special.
I like that! Rota cover.
Week 1, 6, 11, and 16: DD pocket 91-92-93-94. Apparently the pocket books
are now every 5 weeks (so 10 in a year in stead of 8). Maybe we won't miss
anything from now on (compared to the Egmont countries). Especially
interesting because they started printing old Scarpa stories in every (?)
issue.
Week 5 and 14: DISNEY FESTIVAL #11-12. Number 11 was already for sale in
Belgium a long time ago...
DONALD DUCK EXTRA will mainly contain American Scrooge stories, taken from
Italian ZIO PAPERONE. #12 has a Strobl story from DD 42, #13 a Bradbury
story from DD 32. Next year, #1 contains two Rosa/Leach shorts (AR 107 and
AR 118 - I'm curious what the translation will look like...) and a Rota
story (S 72108).

In Germany the story will be published in MM 04-05/2003, so that will
be around the middle of January.

At least here in the USA, the word (if it can be called that) is merely a
"sound effect" and relates only to the supposed sound something makes when,
for instance, a rock is dropped into water. Maybe in another country it
means something else, but it is not an offensive term/word in the USA.

Hi all:
Most of you probably already know it:
The popular search engine Google archives all messages to the DCML-List.
So it is possible to search in the DCML-archive via Google's search
power. You can reach the Google archive of DCML here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=fa.disney-comics
How is this done? There is a Newsgroup to which all postings to the DCML

The number on inhabitants in Duckburg
Message 98 -
2002-11-08 at 11:47:15
Hi all!
When I some years ago asked Don Rosa about the size of Duckburg, he told me that it is a medium sized city (not a village, and not a metropolis).
Then some of my Donaldist-friends concluded that by USA-standards this would be a city of the same size as Trondheim or Stavanger here in Norway. Stavanger has more than 100.000 inhabitants and Trondheim has around 150.000.
But now my friend Erik Hørthe says that in one issue of DD&Co from 1967 Duckburg was said to have 10.000 inhabitants.
What is correct here?
Sigvald :-)

Hm, that would be 'the Paper Chase' and 'Fiscal Fitness',
wouldn't it? I wonder when we'll ever get 'Forget it' and

Very interesting indeed. We in Finland also had an old Scarpa-classic in
last month's pocket (Topolino e la nave del microcosmo, TL 167-A to be
precise). Needless to say, I was quite happy. And now this month's double
issue had TWO Scarpa stories! Not so old (Pippo & Gancio fast food, TL
1757-A and Zio Paperone e il deposito piramidale, TL 1109-B) but I don't
complain. Perhaps the next Dutch Dubbelpocket contains the same stories.
Another thing is that last week's Aku Ankka had Gottfredson's MM Outwits
the Phantom Blot and this week they published the first part of
Gottfredson's Mail Pilot. I don't what's going on but I like it! :-)

Hello pals
Here in England PLONK is cheap wine. Extend it to
PLONKER and you have a mild swear word which refers to
the penis. Famous as the catchphrase of Del Boy in the
comedy show "Only Fools And Horses", where he would
say "you plonker, Rodney" to screams of mirth.

Hi all!
A few years ago I asked Don Rosa about the size of Duckburg. He then responded that it is a medium sized city (not a village, and not a metropolis). Some of my Scandinavian Donaldist-friends then told me that a medium sized city by US-standards (which they assumed Don Rosa was referring to) would mean a city at the size of Stavanger and Trondheim in Norway. Which would indicate that Duckburg has between 100.000 and 150.000 inhabitants.
However, now my friend Erik Hørthe has told me that in DD&Co #27/1967 there is a story where the number of inhabitants in Duckburg passes 10.000.
So what is correct?
