And "Liquid Assets"? Isn't it an adaptation of "Only a Poor Old Man"? I
haven't read the story, but I've seen Don Rosa cover.

Do you know that Merlock - the evil magician from this movie, appeared in
the game "Donald Duck Quack Attack"!? (BTW: this game is dedicated to Carl
Barks)

Thanks,

Don Rosa
From: olaf at andebyonline.com
Subject: Mailing comics etcetera / Don Rosa calendar
>>>How should I wrap it so that it will still look like a calendar when it
arrives in S?o Paulo?

Put large, flat, flimsy things like that in a mailing tube... I've mailed
several of those calendars autographed to friends, so I can give you two
hints: Make it a mailing tube of a large diameter. And also I'll tell you in
advance that the rear page, which is a heavier stock than the rest of the
calendar, will get creases formed in it no matter how carefully you roll it.
But the other pin-up pages will be okay.

>>>One question: In the text Don Rosa has written for every month, it says
where to find the D.U.C.K. dedication. (Which in my opinion is bad - I
prefer reading the texts before I examine the picture, and it's hard to
avoid the part about the D.U.C.K.!) But _not_ in the text for December! Why
is that?

I dunno. Those texts were originally written for the Finnish version of that
calendar, and I see the "D.U.C.K. spoiler" in that version. But I gather
that you'll consider it "bad" if I tell you where the dedication is hidden?
So, okay, I'll just tell you it's there, and not obscured by the colorist as
were some other of the dedications in the calendar. Just keep looking. If
you give up, lemmee know.

>>>>Is it because it looked better to end the calendar with "happy New Year
and thanks for being the world's greatest Duck fans"

Your message is the first notification I've had (not being able to read
Norwegian or much of anything else) that the Norwegian translator took the
words that I thought I was writing exclusively to Finland and translated
them as if I was writing them to Norway. Norway is high on the list of
"world's greatest Duckfans", but I'm afraid they do not quite match those in
Finland. I guess the DON ROSA CALENDARs in Sweden and Denmark had me calling
those countries the "world's greatest Duckfans", too, eh? How insincere I
must be! Typical American!

>>>I'm going there too. Anyone else having plans to go there?

Me. I do.

>>>This is indeed about Washington throwing a coin over the Potomac river
(where, I think, Washington city was then founded). I don't know the details
about this piece of American history, though.

Really, can you throw a coin over a river?! We're talking about the Potomac,
a full-size river!
And he didn't chop down his father's cherry tree, he didn't stand up in the
rowboat crossing the Delaware River (because he's not stupid) and last I
heard he didn't really have wooden false teeth. This is all we can come up
with for a "cultural mythology" when we only have some gentleman farmers and
200 years of history to work with. We do our best!

By the way.... and it doesn't seem to be happening... but I sure hope no one
starts alerting the DCML of all the Barks items for sale on eBay like
someone suggested. There are thousands of Barks items on eBay every moment,
and everyone here is free to go check them out and easily find them all
*instantly* by simply typing "carl barks" into the eBay keyword searcher.
Anyone can do it anytime of the day or night. But, sure, if somebody spots
an auction for something REALLY unusual, like if someone is reselling the
art from the deleted scenes from "Back to the Klondike" or Barks' wooden
false teeth or sumpin', that might be worth noting. Anything else we can all
find for ourselves as easily as we read the DCML.

I sent an e-mail to BHC about this subject. Their reply was:

"Yes, all the names of uncompleted subscriptions have been sent to
Gemstone for fulfillment. We understand the first comic is due to
be released June 21, 2003.

Regards,

Helen Hamilton"

I've just read DCML messages for the first time today. Could someone
please recap (for those of us behind the curve):
Is anyone's company still hanging onto the records of "loyal"
Gladstone subscribers-by-mail who had money left on account when
publication ceased? I'd like to hear update on this. Last stuff I
heard was about 3 years ago. and Hamilton website hasn't been updated

Hi!

Could you please change your computer date setting to 2003? Your using
1970 messes up the message sorting in my e-mail client.

...yet no characters unused by Barks belong to the Barks universe.

All this talk about the Carl Barks Universe and the Don Rosa Universe and
whatnot reminds me of a rather vexing question I've been wondering about.

This usage of the word "universe", meaning a fictional milieu in which a set
of ongoing characters operates (e.g., Marvel Comics Universe, Star Trek
Universe) is relatively recent. Does anyone here (or anywhere else) know
where it started?

The reason I'm asking is, there's a chance >> I << might have originated it.
A year or two ago, someone asked me if an article I wrote in CAPA-alpha in
1970 might have been the first use of the word in that sense, and I had to
confess, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure I hadn't heard it used that way before writing the article.
Also, my roommate at the time, Rick Norwood (now publisher of Comics Revue
magazine, the best ongoing source for reprints of American newspaper
comics), was (and remains) a math professor; and I was much closer then to
my own college years, when I majored in math. So Rick and I were accustomed
to talking about "universes" of this and that.

And it's quite plausible that something in an article in CAPA-alpha in 1970
could have spread through the comics community fairly quickly, as membership
included some very prominent members of the community.

But there's no way I can be ABSOLUTELY SURE I was the first to use it that
way -- unless, of course, an earlier use of it should turn up, and so far,
none has.

Tho I'm now slightly embarrassed at having written it (I was 23 years old at
the time), I've posted it on the Web, hoping someone might be able to
provide further information. The URL is
http://www.toonopedia.com/universe.htm

I realize this is rather a forlorn hope, but does anyone know anything about
this?

Quack, Don

What's "Naples"? Is it the same as Napoli?

A very strange selection. Why didn't they show
any interest for Bark's greatest works:
"Lost in the Andes", "The golden helmet" and
"A Christmas for Shacktown".

To prove beyond reasonalble doubt that these are
among the great master's greatest works it should
be enaugh to take a look in the great book:
"Carl Barks Beste" published in 2001 in memory
of Bark's 100th birthday that year.

Donald and Gladstone takes sailing boat race to search Uncle Scrooge whom
they think is missing, vanished in South Seas. Journey is long and
dangerous.
