Well no but it remaind me some storys wen Gladstone is tragic :
I remember a story in Wich Gladstone was very sad theat he don't have frends
and evry one y was nice to heam just bicous he was lucky. And Huey Duey and
Luey try to Help him.

It olsow remaind me another story (by Vicar) in wich Gladstone had birthday.
But he was ignoring ol gifts bicous he olredy have evry thing he want. Wen
evry one gou awey from him bicous of his bihawior he got sorry for wat he
did and sed theat if his family don't like him bicous his luck he don't want
to have his gift enny more. Gyro made a machine for him wich made him
un'lucky. Gladstone found out hou live with out Luck is like. On the end of
the story he lern theat it was his biahwior not luck made evry one heait him
and lern the valut of hard work .

Congratulations! Maybe you can put a sample scan online, so the
non-Scandinavian people already can see at least a part of the story?

What exactly has been changed, then?

I've been out of the loop for a while...is this the same as the
story with Matilda, or another story?

Seriously, though, that's not spam, that's wonderful for you!

P.S. A quick note to say my website has been updated recently

Finnish TV broadcasted about a week ago this old Kirk Douglas movie
called "The Big Trees" (1952). It takes place in 1900, when a corrupt
timber baron Jim Fallon (Kirk Douglas) plans to take advantage of a new
law and make millions of Dollars off the California redwood. Much of the
land he hopes to grab has been homesteaded by a Quaker colony, who try
to persuade him to spare the giant trees.

When I saw main character first time on the screen I first noticed that
Kirk's hair was done just like Gladstone's (check out:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00007G20Y.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
Soon its revealed that Fallon is a lucky character who has a lucky charm
around his neck that he values greatly.

This was probably all just a coincidence, but it made me think if
film-makers have been borrowing ideas from Carl Barks before George
Lucas or Steven Spielberg?

Congratulations, Olaf. I have read your story and here is my immediate
reaction.

NOTE: This review does not contain spoilers, and can safely be read by list
members who have not yet enjoyed Olaf's story

- Pages 1 and 2: I like the way you introduce the basic idea. Now we know
what the story will be about. Very clever.

- Page 3 moves too slowly. You really only need the last panel.

- Page 5: Donald doesn't know ms Quackfaster's name. Nice touch. I laughed.

- Page 6 and 7: Great escape sequence. Flows really well. Nu?ez is one of
the best new duck artists. You were lucky to get him.

- Page 8: Loved the Prozac joke in panel 2. And the reference to the Animal
Think Boxes.

- Page 9: Wouldn't the Beagle Boys have planned in advance how to get the
money out? But then again: maybe not. They're not the brightest crooks in
the world.

- Page 11: Gyro's idea in panel 4: Very often, you can tell which way a
Duck story is going, but i REALLY didn't see that one coming.

- Pages 12 and 13: Brilliant. Just brilliant. Why wasn't this the lead story?

- Last page: The ending made me slightly uneasy. Wish you had thought of
something else.

Conclusion: I have only one major objection: The story contains too much
violence. Having people getting clubbed in the head as a running joke is
more Asterix than Disney. But apart from that: Nice spin on an old Barks
idea. Very well plotted and paced. The way our heroes outsmart the crooks
in the end was both surprising, inevitable and hysterically funny. What
more can one ask? Write more, please!

Rating: 7,5/10.

Unfortunately it wasn't, hopefully the story will be published
sometime in not very distant future.
