A little something I through together months ago, and now
I want to ask some questions:
http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/Woodchucks.gif

1. Are April, May & June considered members of the Junior
Chickadees Patrol?

2. Is it generally agreed that the Chickadees and the Junior
Explorers (Giovani Esploratrici) are one-and-the-same?

3. Has Captain Ramrod appeared since Barks stopped drawing/
writing stories about the Chickadees?

4. If the Grand Mogul is a Duck (not Bertie) who is the
dogface Mogul that Barks created?

5. Are Lapo and General Snozzie the same character? If not,
are they related somehow? They both appear to be Bloodhounds.

6. Alvin, Chuck & Newton, like HDL, all predate the existence
of the comicbook GIOVANI MARMOTTE published in Italy. TRUE?

7. Does Lardello have roots prior to the publication of that
book? Is he anyone we might have seen previously? Have any
of his family ever appeared? Who?

8. I know the recurring girls are Clarissa (the Scout Mistress),
Mitzie, Cindy, Scarlet and Betty. Can anyone match the names
with the girls in the picture linked above? I believe Scarlet
is the red-headed duckling. That leaves the dogface with glasses,
the chubby chicken-girl and the Asian duckling. I probably added
one too many girls with the other dogface girl. However, the
INDUCKS characters lists for DUCK UNIVERSE also lists a "Litzie."
I'm betting that's a typo or another spelling for Mitzie. Have
there been any other girl-scouts introduced in the series?

9. Do the girls have a mascot (like Lapo/Snozzie), too?

10. Who is the alien "Blinkie"? Does he appear more than just
one time?

Thanks,

Rich Bellacera

Who is Captain Ramrod?

Yet another Grand Mogul.

I would say that they are, but Inducks and that picture show them as
different characters.

Only Alvin and Newton, AFAIK.

I haven't seen any, at least.

He appears twice. BTW, his name is Blink, not Blinkie.

Correction: Gus does not have any *known* brother or sister, but he
might have hundreds or thousands of *unknown* brothers and sisters, so a
nephew would be fully possible.

Correction: U$ has two *known* sisters, but he might have hundreds or
thousands of *unknown* sisters (or brothers, for that matter), so a twin
brother would be fully possible.

Well, after having checked the inking on his Uncle Remus sundays and
compared it with Murrys good girl art cartoons:
I believe that the inking was made by the very same person who inked Murrys
gag cartoons.
I believe that Murry did ink his gag cartoons himself. Or did he?
However, *the very last one* of Murrys Uncle Remus sundays is definitely
inked by Dick Moores.
His inking style is so distinct that it's easy to tell the difference.
But it seems that most people says that Moores inked the whole run of Murrys
Uncle Remus sundays.
So my question is does anyone have proof that he did? Or is this "fact" only
based on the quote above?
Murry might well have misremembered what he did some 35-40 years ago.

Anyone who knows for sure?
Or that has a scource for the statement about Moores inking all of Uncle
Remus?

Cheers!

Who, me? I'm right here.

I haven't gotten involved in this "99950 km to Langtvekkistan" debate,
partly because I'm busy with work, partly because I think everybody
(including Sigvald) has made some valid points, and I have nothing to
add.

> What happened to Fethry?!

Fethry is in the weekly all the time!!! Jeez, Søren, I would've thought
you knew this by now. I've said it often enough. (Grumble!)

As for why Disney stories are more "realistic" than they used to be...
That's a long long discussion, and I don't really have time for it here
and now. Sorry. But I do understand where you're coming from...

A very good and well thought idea indeed! However his name would normally be
Egmont von Drake - unless he takes his mother's family name in order to get
attention in the financial world. Such a character gould have financial
talents from his mother's side combined with scientific talents from his
father's side - a real match for Scrooge. Reminds me of a Western where
Calamity Jane finally meet a lady who was able to defeat her in several
diciplines (swearing, poker, drinking, fighting and shooting) and in the end
discovered that the other lady was her own long disapeared mother. One idea
could be that this "Egmont von Drake" could be identical with the phantom in
Notre Duck? That would explain why he look familiar with Scrooge.

The problem is that Egmont would probably not accept this idea - even though
they do accept obscure characters like thise Gideon - because they dosen't
accept any marriage between Matilda McDuck and Ludwig von Drake.

Hi,
In the past, Barks and probably other disney comic artists got his/their
stories censored here and there in the name of "Political Correctness". This
includes Indian-like characters in Barks story (or issit stories), Brer
Rabbit and the gang, and most likely Hiawatha (actually i'm guessing about
Hiawatha).

As of now, such censorship has been toned down if not erased. There're basic
guides by various Disney Comics publisher in Europe that Fethry exists or
not, and such just like recently discussed, Ludwig von Drake.

So what i want to know is who and why these characters and perhaps many
others are set to be "non-existant" in duck world. It couldnt be the
"politically correct"?

Oh yeah, and when one or more Disney comic artists drew new characters and
start using the new chars as part of their own duck world (like Oona and
Rufus). do the characters actually get some kind of "reviews/judgements" by
the publisher in order to decide whether or not the new chars can be used by
the artists again?

Please note that my questions arent intended to take side on what chars
should be included as "non-existant" or "exists" than the recent situation.
It's just a curiosity.

Thanks to anyone who'll answer this,
Arie Fachrisal
