Hi!
I want to know more about Carl Buettner's story "The Three Caballeros"
(http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/W+WDC++50-06), maybe a
description, for example. This one was never printed here in Brazil, but his
"Joe Carioca-The Carnival King" was the first one of Jos? to appear on ower
Pato Donald comic book (I can say it's an famous story here in Brazil, in
some terms...).
Is it similar to Walt Kelly's "The Three Caballeros"?!
Fernando!

Nope.
(And I'm really confused, Sigvald. You're just *guessing* that there
are two different characters here, so how can you *conclusively* say which
of the so-called different characters has which name?)
>b)
>This is one character in two versions.
Here you're correct.
When Italy makes the character tall and somewhat younger, they call
her Miss Paperett, but they also use that name for Barks/Rosa/Egmont's
shorter, older version of the character.
Egmont, meanwhile, uses the short version in stories for the weekly
and the tall version in D-coded stories for the pocketbooks, and we call
her, originally, Miss Typefast in all cases.
So yes, both Egmont and the Italians agree that it's the same
character in two visual variants.
You also theorize that
>The younger one is just another version of the
>secretary because someone in Italy or Egmont
>or somewhere else didn't like the Barks/Rosa
>version.
Your reference to the "Barks/Rosa version" confuses me a little in
this context. You're talking about a decision- the Italian decision to
redesign Barks' Miss Quackfaster- that was made in the 1970s or 1980s. This
was before Don Rosa made duck stories. Therefore, the Italian creators who
redesigned Miss Quackfaster could not have been doing it to express an
opinion about Don Rosa.
>As for the name, even though it
>contradicts Barks and Rosa, Egmont prefer to

>in stead of the original "Quackfaster".
The character is Miss Typefast (note the spelling, it's not
"Typefaster") at Egmont because that was her traditional name in Britain,
then one of our major publishers, at the time we first used the character in
our own stories (late 1970s).
We've known for a long time that in the USA, her name is
Quackfaster, but by this time it's far, far too late to turn back.
Now, on to your last possible explanation for Miss Q.'s two visual
styles
>c.
>The younger one is the older one's niece
[snip]
Nope.
They are, however, both related to Zeke Wolf. By marriage.
(You've guessed I'm joking? Damn.)
Really, there's just one secretary, drawn two ways.

Jose Carioca and Panchito visit Donald in Duckburg. Jos? and
Panchito are shown as foolish country bumpkins who have never been to a big
city or to Donald's country, and have no idea what to expect. They cause
accidents with an American football. They cause a cart horse to run away,
leaving a path of destruction. At a soda fountain, Jose floods the place
with soda water. Most of the damage is blamed on Donald, who takes all of
the punishment.
At the end of the story, Donald is jailed by a cop. Jose and
Panchito wave goodbye to him in prison, cheerfully promising to visit again
when Donald gets out. They don't even seem to care that their friend has
been jailed, or to understand what it means.
Not a great highlight of Jose's or Panchito's careers.

The term 'not cricket' runs a little deeper than this. Cricket is an
unusual game in that it is designed to ensure an extreme level of fairness,
so much so that you can play a 5 day test match and still end up with a
draw, something that happens reasonably frequently. When first originated
the game was only played by English gentlemen who prized fair play as a
virtue. To say something is 'not cricket' is to make a rebuke from a
superior moral or social position and can be used when you wish to remain
polite but firm in your opposition to something being unfair.
Interestingly the Taliban did not ban cricket because they thought it was a
Pakistani game, while football was banned.
I don't recall seeing a Disney comic story involving a game of cricket. Has
this ever happened?

Ah, there is a little misunderstanding here. I
was thinking about the "2001 ? Aku Ankan Juhla

I suppose you are here using the term "football"
in the European way? If so, I can tell DCMLs
North-American readers that that's the sport they
call "Soccer" - just to avoid any unnecessary

I can't remeber having seing that either. The
reason could be that Disney Comics are not very

I live in the US, so using my Faithful US-Living Powers That Be, I'll attempt
to answer that question:
Last year, "Free Comic Book Day" took place at local comic book stores
shortly after the theatrical release of the "Spider-Man" movie--as kind of a
"tie-in" type of deal. Comic stores offered a selection of free comics sent
by the publishers, in an attempt to draw in new readers and potential
customers.
Apparently, the project was so successful that they're attempting to make
this an annual event. Personally, I'm glad there will be a Disney giveaway
this year--and what was originally a giveaway, at that!
It's just overall great to have Disney comics back in the US. Whoo!

I downloaded the font as well, and I'm really quite impressed. I can't see
the font acting as something you'd actually want to use for written documents
and the like, but a comic book--such as a Barks homage--would work very well
with it. Obviously.
It would be great if there was also the Barks font (was it of his original
design?) used in some of the Gladstone books. I don't remember seeing that in
the older comics, but I really liked it. The original Barks font is a great
one, but the redesign was very pleasing to the eye. My eye, anyway.
