Yes. But it will not be possible to reply to such an eMail. Replys
have to be written on the message board. This can also be done offline.

Yes. It is exactly the same software Per is using for DCML.
It is also possible to have only replys to threads in which you have
posted yourself delivered by eMail.
I would not have the time to moderate the board, though. Maybe someone
(or more than one) wants to volunteer?
Best wishes

Hi!
I was very excited about Rob Klein seeing Disney comics in Hungary in the 80's. Ofcourse, I could have missed seeing (and definitely buying) them when vacationing there in 1985! Somehow I hope I did not!
Traveling in the UK in 1981, I found no Disney comics at all. Getting back at a super market in 1994 while seeing some friends, the crowd looked weird at me buying the Donald Duck weekly. Childrens' stuff it seems!
However, anyone traveling to the Canary Islands? I do have a Spanish digest sized Disney comic from 1983, however it's easier to track down a MICKEY MAUS, KALLE ANKA or ANDERS AND when vacationing on Gran Canaria, than finding one in Spanish... Please tell me, and others, where to find it around Playa del Ingles, as we're going back there in September, and I hate spending hours looking!!!

I couldn't agree more. Instead of discussing comics, people are arguing about ridiculous stuff that happened 25 years ago (does it really matter that one country's names for Disney characters weren't printed in a book?). I for one am thrilled to be getting fresh comics for the first time in several years, and I look forward to discussing that material. However, if this kind of petty bickering keeps up, that's not going to happen. At least not with me.

I am tempted to start a (off-topic) discussion about the meaning and
relevance of the word "interesting". Instead here is just something
to think about:
If I would go outside right now and ask people on the street, whether
they find Disney comics interesting, probably 99 of 100 would answer:
Disney comics are not interesting enough for me to speak about, let
alone
start long discussions about historical background, artists'
expressions,
publication schedules or character biographies.
Or to rephrase the question: Does it really matter what stories about
mice and
ducks some people draw on sheets of paper? - To us it matters a lot,
doesn't it?

End of Western Civilization? (OT)
Message 561 -

Concerning the end of Western civilization, I wonder how that would be
possible given the resurrection of Disney Comics in America! Things must
be improving!!!
That the professor began meditating on this topic after watching the
Eurovision song contest from Riga is not surprising: watching so-called
"Reality TV" in America can cause a deep depression and the most
atrabilious pessimism about the future!
Concerning the Eurovision contest: see the article in the New York Times
from Saturday May 24th for an American perspective. (Caution: Americans
don't think European rock-n-roll rocks or rolls! The Beatles were the
exception, not the rule!) Here is an excerpt: "But this is not the only
reason the contest will never witness American participation. It has been
observed that the more that Euro pop tries to sound American, the more
distinctly European it sounds. Take, for example, this year's German entry,
"Let's Get Happy," sung by an orange-haired Phyllis Diller look-alike named
Lou. Lou belted out the first line, "Last night at the discoth?que," in a
near-flawless R&B down-home American accent, yet "discoth?que" is a word no
self-respecting American rock star would say."
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/26/arts/music/26EURO.html?pagewanted=1
Seriously, remember that worrying about the End of Civilization goes back
to the 1700's, caused by Gibbon's book on the Roman/Byzantine Empire. But
recall that buried in his opus is the opinion that his/our
Renaissance/Enlightenment based civilization could continue forever! For
an overview, see
The Idea of Decline in Western History by Arthur Herman.

Due to the few answers about this I suppose that these books are unknown
to the most of us on this list? So I assume that they must be quite
rare? Does anyone know how long they kept this thick format with the
stiff cardboard pages ?

It's interesting to see that many of Barks' phrases were modified after the
original phrases in the 1950-1960s. (Thanks Rob for sharing this knowledge).
I think i'll use "ad infinitum" sometimes in my future local articles.
btw I've seen in at least 2 Marco Rota stories, in both stories' 1st panels,
Marco Rota put his name/initial in it. In a story he put "MR" as a sign
above a building. in another story, he put "Marco Rota" written upside down
in an advertisement board in the city. I cant sem to find more like that in
any of his stories that i've read.
Did he do it (putting his name/inital/sign) once in a while in his stories?
Or did he do it at a certain period of time he's active drawing? are there
any more "signatures" in his other stories?
And last time i heard (from this list if im not mistaken) that Rota has
stopped drawing disney stories, is this true or has he back to draw duck
stories?

European countries, this sort of thing doesnt happen. Especially in Finland
(maybe?) cause Don make it big time with his kalevala duck story.
Off-topic:
When i was a child, i read collected short stories featuring animals doing
"humanisque" jobs/works. i remembered the pictures was drawn by someone
named bevenuti (or issit benvenuti). The books are licensed from a Holland
publisher and the original holland title has something said like "101 ..." I
cant remember clearly, maybe any Dutch here can help me finding the artist's
related-website? I tried with google, and i stumbled upon weird websites and
even a meat cannery site. anyone who can help me can email me privately as
this is non-disney stuff that prolly offer no interest to the rest of the
DCMLians.
Many thanks.

A correct observation as this quote proves:
Riddikulus (ri-di-KYOO-lus)
"ridiculum" L. joke, from "ridere" L. to laugh
Defense against a Boggart, forces the creature to
take on a silly appearance.
Lupin taught the third year Defense Against The
Dark Arts class to use this spell (PA, GF31) The
laughter it produces in onlookers is what does the
Boggart in.

Are you thinking of RoSa? He stopped drawing Disney stories last year,
but started drawing them again after a few months.

Cord brings up a good point. However, I must point out that the vast majority of the posts about the topic that made me write my reply (the whole language thing) has been carried for the most part (possibly all together, but I'm not sure as I've deleted several e-mails after looking at the subject title)by two people, which leads me to think that it's not interesting to most of us here. Such discussions, after being beaten to the ground in a public forum, should continue to be carried on only in private correspondence, I think.
To bring things back on-topic, has anyone seen a list of contents of US319 and WDCS634? That's something I'd love to see.

Although some people might still consider comics in general as childrens

My uncle has a Mickey Mouse Annual given to him by my (late)
great-grandmother. When I flipped through it quickly, it appeared to be a mixture of puzzles
and games and the like, stories, and coloring pages--the usual "activity book"
fare of the present day.
I'm not completely sure, but I THINK I read that the date of the book was
1938.
