Greetings folks

About SUPER DUCK, Timo wrote:

Because SUPER DUCK was radically different from
Donald. As noted previously, he wore a stylish
mountain chapeau, resplendent with feather, and the
plants in his garden sometimes spoke to him.

Anyhow, good job Disney didn't try and stop the genius
of SUPER DUCK. What is it with them, anyway? They
think they own the world.

Er...which they do, pretty much, I guess. Oh well,
never mind.

Huh?? I'd like to see some of these. No wonder Crumb liked this one.

>Anyhow, good job Disney didn't try and stop the genius
>of SUPER DUCK.

Yes. It's just hard to see much logic in Disney's logic with these kind of
cases. They left Super Duck alone while they attacked against Howard. Or
Swedish Arne Anka. They were both as much different from DD as Supe.

right, a prize!! and if i wasnt having computer problems, i would ask: so who wrote and drew Mickey Mouse, Bambi and (Archie) SuperDuck comic books?
but since i am having computer problems... will answer (after a few lines of white space)

Ken Hultgren was one of the last artists on superduck and the first new comic book artist on Mickey Mouse and Bambi

That's a statement I've always been wondering about as there is no such
scene in the original story. Or am I wrong?

Damn right. I try to av_O_id using smileys, except in messages or posts
that "require" them, but still only in internet. Using them elsewhere
reveals the lack of the writers skill and will to think of an alternative
for that little face. And a good writer knows how he should make it clear to
the reader that the text was written in a sarcastic sense.
And mark that this message was not meant to offend anybody.

Sigvald, I use to consider clara as being a part of Barks/Rosa universe,
but each reader is free to keep or leave her : you, me, Don Rosa himself
(although this universe carries his name, i sometimes disagree with him for
some points)... It's the same for Morty and Ferdie, or Speedy, for instance
: you can choose between considering Speedy as being Donald Duck, or Morty and
Ferdie as being Donald's nephews, as Barks first wante to show, or to let them
be Morty, Ferdie and Speedy. As for Mickey Mouse : Don Rosa condider him as being
a non-existant character in his universe, while I consider him as being a Star
(according to his photography in " a little something special).
There is another character we can choose to include or not in this universe :
Barks once drew Brigitta McBridge, Scrooge's girlfriend in scarpa's stories,
on a letter... So barks considers she exists...

Hi!
First, happy new year to all the dcmailers!!!
while this month' Picsou Magazine is a boring as last month's issue, (ie no new Rosa
stories, and an ugly coloring which spoil Barks stories that have been published and
re-published thousands of times here), Mickey Parade G?ant countains a nice surprise
: a christmas story ( Amelia e il segreto di Babbo Natale I TL 2405-1 )
with Rosolio (Magica's "boyfriend"), Granny de Spell, and Minima de
Spell. (their french names : Rosolio, M?m?, and Minima, you can see them on eta-beta's page : http://eega.net/bric_a/wit/witches.html ). This seem to be the sequel of I TL
2043-1:"Amelia e la pietra pantarba" (January 24, 1995), and I TL 2277-1 : "Amelia e la furia
degli elementi" (July 20, 1999), as magica tells them, after they decorated her house with
christmas stuff and a christmas tree, "when you unexpectedly came , i didn't say anything, and
when this fool [Rosolio] followed me in Duckburg, I didn't say anything, but now, you go
overboard!!!"
another funny detail : the page 5 hasn't been translated into french, si it's still italian, by
some mistake...

I'm not very present on the list, neither on my website, because of some problems,
but i promise you i will come back soon :-)

In the latest issue of the Swedish Kalle Anka there is a tribute page to
Gladstone Gander but in one panel there is a kid shown with the same
curls as Gladstone and he is presented as one of Donalds nephews. If I
remember correctly he is not. He is some kind of relative to Gladstone.
The panel seems to be by Strobl. Does anyone remember who he is and
where the story was published ?

In a one page gag (by Barks I think) I remember that Scrooge reads on a
sign that someone (Washington ? ) threw a coin over this river. So
Scrooge throws a coin over the river and rows terribly fast across it
and captures his own throw. Was it Washington and why did he throw the
coin in the first place ? It seemed to be an authentic historical fact.

Thanks !

He is the nephew of Gladstone and his original name is Shamrock Gander, as
far as I know (Golo Gans here in Germany). The story is:

>>>That's a statement I've always been wondering about as there is no such
scene in the original story. Or am I wrong?

No, there was no such scene in Barks' original story, but $crooge had an
extended "vacation" in Trala-La in that tale, obviously benefiting from it,
and I interpolated such behavior taking place during that stay (as I
*needed* to make a reference to such). I was showing that $crooge was again
settling down into the same relaxed frame of mind as would any Ronald
Coleman, Edward Everett Horton or Thomas Mitchell when stranded in
Shangri-La.
Anyway, my other original dialogue for $crooge in that scene, as someone
already posted, was "I used to fix my two sisters' dolls back home in
Scotland when I was your age".
I'm not surprised that the line was changed in one translation (in Norway, I
think someone said) to "cousins"... as we've said before, some translators
of these comics are not even trying to make direct translations... they are
changing the meaning to suit their own tastes or ideas... and some are
trying very diligently to be accurate to the original (though still making
some needed changes advisable for their local idioms). But it was also said
that in the Norwegian REprint of that same story the line was *correctly*
translated. That means somebody reviewed the entire script, comparing it to
my original. That would be one of the really diligent translators to go to
that much effort. S'nice!
I never have any control over the translations of my stories... sometimes I
am horrified and sometimes greatly pleased. For example, when reading one of
my stories in Finnish, Italian, Swedish or Greek, you can be pretty
confidant you're getting the real goods. Maybe in other editions too, (the
American editions as well, of course!) but those are the languages in which
I'm always proud to see my stories -- those translators seek direct contact
with me. I am in indirect contact with the Norwegian and French translators,
so those are probably dependable. I sometimes think I'm having good
communication with the German translators, but I know it's not always
successful -- in one story of mine they put words in a character's mouth
making a reference to "Jurassic Park" while in the same issue I supplied a
text about the story saying that I would never have a character in that
story make a reference to "Jurassic Park" and that I hoped the translator
would not change my script. The Danish and Dutch translators aren't
interested in having contact with me, so I can't offer any opinion on those
editions (though I know the Dutch editions never use the correct versions of
non-serialized tales). Naturally, *most* of the time I don't have any idea
what's going on in the translations, and the readers can't know what's been
changed in order to warn me.
(I think there will be more accurate translations of my stories in the
future in those regional Egmont editions, hopefully being few, where that's
not been done in the past.)

Hello!

Gilles:
>>Mickey Parade G?ant countains a nice surprise a christmas story ( Amelia e il segreto di Babbo
Natale I
>>TL 2405-1 ) with Rosolio (Magica's "boyfriend"), Granny de Spell, and Minima de Spell
>> another funny detail : the page 5 hasn't been translated into french, si it's still italian

Funny indeed. the story's premise (asking Santa Scrooge's dime) was intriguing, but i found the
story only so-so-- just my humble opinion.

However, there's something I like and have meant to mention on the DCML for a little while: "Les
Chroniques de la Baie" (Chronicles from the Bay), by Alberto Savini (story) and Stefano Turconi
(art).
It's a series of stories starring Moby Duck and Feathry, plus a host of new characters, and set in
the little harbor of Duckport-- the technology is nineteenth-centuryish. I love this series! I
think Savini & Turconi succesfully "appropriated" Moby & Fethry and created an interesting little
universe of their own.

MP 271 also features a second Mckey adventure in a parallel universe, Dimension M. I haven't read
this second story yet-- since there are only so many stories per issue, I don't read the whole thing
at once, to make it last longer; maybe I've been reading Uncle Scrooge stories too long...
The first installment was okay. Some intriguing ideas, but the story was a bit loose-ended. I hope
it evolves the right way.

Now for a little announcement-- which I posted on my site's news page (The Daily-War Drum on-Line--
click on Donald sellig newspapers: http://ob7.free.fr/mice_and_ducks/ ) this morning.
You are all invited to check out M&D next Monday for the launch of a very special feature. I can't
tell more right now-- only that the date is not fortuitous. I think it ought to make for an
interesting experience.

All the best,

Olivier

I like that concept. I would love to see what they did with the
characters. However, I have a question for you Olivier. Are you
sure it is Moby and "Fethry"? Or is it Moby and "Dim-Witty"? I'm
sure it could be Fethry, but Dim-Witty is already established as
Moby's first mate on board his ship. There are certainly enough
similarities between Dim-Witty & Fethry for someone to possibly
confuse them.

Now, on a different subject. I know that we have seen Patricia
Pigg with a son and a daughter, and that her daughter's name is
Peggy, but I don't recall any mention of her son's name. I've
tried looking through the DCML's "Mouse Universe" list for it,
but could not find it there either.

Does anyone know what Patricia Pigg's son's name is?

Also, the last appearance I could find for Percy Pigg (Patricia's
husband) is from May 1988

http://stp.ling.uu.se/cgi-bin/starback/dcml/story?IC+GSW+12

Does anyone know of a more recent appearance for him, or have a scan
of Percy from that story so I can use it to update his appearance
for the HooZoo?

Thank you,

Rich Bellacera

Yes, I perfectly agree with you. I think that that series is one of the best
Italian "stories" (group of stories actually) of the last ten years!

I don't know Dim-Witty-- or do I? I faintly remember old old Moby stories with maybe another
character, but didn't look like him?
The one is definitely Fethry: he has the face, the "hat" (forget the exact word) and the name Popop
(Fethry's French name).
I'm scanning & e-mailing you the title page from last issue's Chronicles of the Bay: it features
most of the main characters (including Fethry), but mostly so you can have an idea of the series'
style.
