Thanks! My pleasure.

It's just a better scan (and maybe a sharper original from which I scanned).
Here's the text undeneath the panel in WDC&S 603:
"This is the first panel of the first Mickey Mouse daily comic strip. It appears here at 88% of
its original size as drawn. Color has been added."

I have reduced the size to xx %. The actual panel in WDC&S is about 14cm * 12.5cm (5.5" * 4.92")--
which means the original art was 15.90cm * 14.20cm, ie 6.26" * 5.59". Pretty large.

I also converted it to a gray scale image-- possibly to save disk space, and probably because it
looked better (I prepared this comparison scan several months ago, so I don't remember exactly).

Now I actually compare both images, there's (at least) another difference: white eye-brow lines or
whatever-you-might-call-them around Mickey's eyes on the WDC&S image. It's not that the scanner
didn't pick it up on the other image or that it as blotted out when I resized it: there just isn't
such a line on the strip I have. Maybe it disappeared when it was published (or when it was
reprinted).

There is a larger version of this first strip on M&D's Ub Iwerks Centennial page:

The white line you can see aboce Mickey's right cheek shouldn't be there actually: it must be a
white speck I didn't notice-- how ironical! I'll replace this large scan with the newer, nicer,
cleaner one I have now, and link to it in the Notes as soon as I can.

The version in WDC&S 603 was reproduced from Mickey Mouse in Color,
which was reproduced directly from the original art. So that's why the lines
are so sharp.

We included a list of Disney movies in Inducks. There's a big list at
http://coa.duckburg.dk/inducks/files/_stories/movies.html

(The contents is maintained by Johannes Promann, the rather primitive page
layout is by me. Inducks is a *comics* database, and we list the movies
mainly to be able to refer to them from the comics.)

Hi all!

A few months ago I bought a Paul Murry/
Floyd Gottfredson story index. However
there was a story which I by then blieved
to be by Paul Murry, which was missing in
that index. However a I.N.D.U.C.K.S./COA
search shows that the story I was looking
for was made by another artist named
Josep Tello Gonzalez. The story is:
D 2331: MM: Peculiar Problems On Pearl Island.
This story is 8+8+8 pages just as many
Paul Murry Classics so I guess that's why
I believed that that was a Murry story as
well.

Do any of you know anything more about this
Josep Tello Gonzalez, and if he has done any
other Paul Murry like stories?

Sigvald :-)
