Wow! I think my computer (no, not me!) sent the same long message three or
four or five times to the DCML! I witness other people sometimes suffering
that same fate, and I now see how a hiccup in one's computer will cause the
thing to run berserk and commit this sorta crime against humanity.
VERY sorry!

Don: I have seen other Duck family trees over the years and they all were different. The only sure thing seemed to be the
connection between Donald and HD&L. I did not know that the family tree was based on Barks' own material. Which makes it much more
official than I thought in the beginning before you explained this. Thanks for pointing this out.

And regarding the color of money: Well, you started this ;-) If someone else is interested in this discussion from last year you

Sorry for my previous mis-formatted posting which probably cannot be
read on most mailers because the lines are much too long. This one
should be better:

Donald call her "Grandma", at least in Polish & Czech version.
And, in my opinion, in these stories she looks quite old. Too old to be a
mother.

2) Does anybody know who drew the sticker album "That's Donald!" (known also
as "?a c'est Donald!", "lo Paperino!", "As? es Donald!", "S? o Donald",
"Ach, ten Donald")?

thanks,

Another possibility is that he was making a joke on his surname "(Mc)Duck".

If I would stand there on that island, I could have said "Being halfway, I would not have been Fluks enough to cross the pond" - the word fluks means "fast".

If you would stand there, you could have said "Being halfway, I would be even Kleiner, so I can't cross the pond". (Klein = small)

Except that the year 0 does not exist.
But I'll stop here. We had that discussion before on DCML, 3 years ago. 8-)

In the Dutch/European tradition (as I understand it), the bin *is* filled with pocket change. It's just that the colour of pocket change is yellow. Even Scrooge's first dime is yellow.
It's just one of those unwritten comic laws: coins should be yellow. Banknotes should be green. Water should be blue. Roofs should be red. While in real life, the colours are often different.

Just out of curiosity: Why Sandnes?

I had stopped at this for a second while writing the original message. I
should have stopped longer. You are right of course. After 1 B.C. 1 A.D.
immediately followed. Which also is the reason, why this millennium
started with January 1st 2001 (not 2000).

As a matter of fact, many European countries have been issueing coins
made of brass. So yellowish-colored pocket change is not so far from
reality as an American might imagine.

Me, myownself, wrote, in reference to my correspondence with Mr. Barks in
1992:

"...this was the one topic that interested in the most"

I meant to type:

"... this (his Family Tree) was the one topic that interested him (Barks)
the most", which might add a nuance of extra meaning to my message.

... but I'm still more embarrassed by my computer sending the same message
to the ML four times. Dan Shane says that I should publicly blame my
Microsoft OE for the misdeed and I will gain extra points.

Hi all!

Question:
Was the Jippes' cover for German Carl Barks checklist (by Norbert Aping,
1976) originally a cover of Carl Barks & Co -fanzine?

Sounds like the book Cord Wiljes describes is a later printing of THE LIFE OF DONALD DUCK (1941).I thought it was an interesting read as it takes snapshots from many of the duck cartoon shorts. It is billed as "My only authorized biography (signed) d. duck".A facsimile of the 1941 classic book was released in 1994 by Applewood Books.Of special interest besides an accurate accounting of Donald's birth, it included:a recorded CD - with Carl Barks and Donald Duck in a fireside chat,a complete script of the recording,a mail in offer entitling the purchaser to a free cassette of the program and a greeting card by Carl.

That depends on what you mean with B.C. and A.D.: "n years before/after
Christ" or "year n before/after Christ." In the former case, there
would be two years 0 (one before and one after Christ), but in the
latter case there would be none.

BTW, what about the strange attachment that you included with your mail:

Do you have a short description, or a scan, of that drawing?
