Here is another site with a short bit about the upcoming (tomorrow!)
Gemstone comics:
http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/030623/0818000465_2.html
I saw another site yesterday, but can't find it now! :( I t mentioned
that the upcoming titles would be available in bookstores such as
Borders, Barnes and Noble, Waldens, etc. It will be great to get
these new comics in the bookstores as soon as possible. I still have
yet to hear if Gemstone is going to get their comics in Wal-Mart
stores, which to my way of thinking would be a HUGE step forward.
Gemstone comics has its own site now:
http://www.gemstonecomics.com
It appears that the site is only part way done as at this time some
of the links go nowhere. However, you can see upcoming covers for
Mickey Mouse and Friends and Donald Duck and Friends. Also, for
people who have been wanting to know how to subscribe to Gemstone
titles, it appeas this site is where you go for that.

No non-Disney stories are indexed as part of INDUCKS itself. They are
indexed in the same *format* as INDUCKS. And that makes it possible to
show them in an INDUCKS-search. If people think that this is pollution,
then (for example) a checkbox-option could be added to keep all information
apart. The default could be "INDUCKS-only", so that no efforts are needed
for getting only the solid INDUCKS-contents. As always.
The non-Disney INDUCKS-formatted files are maintained independently and
voluntarily. They are just like the toys that come with a comic book. You
can ignore them, if you want. And for the interested people it's handy to
have a possibility to supply/get information on the "extra" material of an
artist (which sometimes even includes crossovers with Disney comics).
> And no, Barks shouldn't be treated as an exception.
I agree. Besides Barks, there's also interesting non-Disney information
about other artists. If people also want to make an INDUCKS-compatible
index about them, then I think that should be possible.

This is a different discussion. Also an interesting one, though. :-)
As long as long as artists can develop their own stories with their own
format-flavour, then there's no need to think of limitations. Most of the
people just want to read a comic from time to time, without any deep
thinking about comic book facts. Only the fanatics quarrel about contents,
quality, and about the position of their favourite artists. :-)

You'll never hear that from me.
Barks mentions *faxing* in "Horsing Around With History" (D 94003).
On his 1989 painting "Holiday in Duckburg", Gladstone is shown with a
*video camera*. A video camera on a painting, of all things. And IMO it
fits perfectly. Video cameras have become part of the holiday feeling,
so the painting is very recognizable, realistic and up to date. Opinions
may differ, but Barks dared to try it.
Barks's work went on with the time, and also his characters went on with
the time. No matter his own age, or the age of his characters. His work
had no time limits. I'm curious for any "claims" that state otherwise.
> No room for changes, no room for improvements, no room for innovation.
> Sorry, but if that "Barks=Truth" thinking becomes the rule,
Then that "rule" is based on misinformation.
Carl Barks had room for changes;
Carl Barks had room for improvements;
Carl Barks had room for innovation.
I think that was part of his *strength*. And if he wouldn't have had this
strength, then Donald would still only have had three nephews, a dog, a
girlfriend, a (grand)mother, a car, and a dull suburban life. Barks dared
to innovate *new* ways to tell his stories. He tried crazy ideas, he sent
the Ducks all over the world and into space, he added an old stingy duck
with a giant money bin. It's all pure fantasy, but he dared to do it, and
he managed to make it believable.

Did Barks originate the lucky dime?
Message 304 -
2003-06-25 at 02:56:07
Just a few questions:
Was Barks the creator of Scrooge's *lucky* dime?
In which story does the lucky dime appear for the first time?
I've always thought that Barks was the creator, but maybe it came
from someone else? And when did artists other than the creator take
over this concept? Is there someone who knows more about the history
of the lucky dime?
BTW. I *don't* mean the first dime as coin, which indeed was created
by Barks and made its debut in the watertank money bin story (OS 495).
I mean the *luck* that is said to be coming from the dime.

In private, I got a reference to another story with a tragic Gladstone.
A story called "O'Lucky Man" (D98220), written by Kari Korhonen and
drawn by Jose Colomer. According to the sender, this story also dwelled
on the futile existence of Gladstone Gander.
BTW. There are (I think) about two 1950s/1960s Barks-stories in which
Gladstone basically has no luck. He's not really tragic there, though.
In these stories, he's a customer of Gyro Gearloose. One of these
stories contains a repetitive saying about the customer always being
right. This information is from memory. I'm too lazy to check. :-)

At the bottom of the 11th page, Scrooge says "Ha! One thousand
dollars at compound interest! Wait till I get my hands on that
old gal!" In the original printing, the next panel on the next
page shows Donald coming in and saying, "Hey I've been talking
to some old-timers! They say Goldie left town years ago and
hasn't been seen since!" All the flashback parts in between
those two panels were removed. A total of four pages of
flashback were missing.
Also, in the original printing, four other panels were missing
that now appear in reprints.
After Donald says "Goldie left town years ago and hasn't been
seen since," Scrooge yells, "Wouldn't you know it! Somebody
owes you a billion dollars and they skip town every time!"
In the original printing, the next four panels after that
were taken out. They were lost until the early 1980s when the
huge collector's album "Scrooge McDuck: His Life and Times" was
prepared. The four flashback pages were still around, but those
four panels has been lost over the decades. Barks re-drew them
from memory and it is these four recreated panels that appear in
current versions of the story.
The four panels I'm talking about are where Scrooge says, "Well,
the trip won't be a failure! I can still go after my gold
cache!" Then his nephews make sure he's been taking his
medicine, and walk away, leaving Scrooge with a distant
expression.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those four
panels were just taken out to make room for advertising or for
some other layout reason. There obviously wasn't anything to
censor in there.
Did that answer your question? Probably not, come to think of
it. Um...someone else know what could be going on there? LOL

In Finnish Aku Ankka. I have to check the details.

Dani?l/Timo:
>> Scrooge ten-pager "D/D 2001-021" by Daan Jippes(?) must be inspired
>> by a Barks plot synopsis for a never-produced 1950s Scrooge cartoon.
>> This is too similar to be a coincidende. But maybe I'm telling
>> something that's already mentioned in the story's credits?
> That's exactly the case, although I don't know if Barks is credited
> in every reprint of the story.
In this context it is interesting to note that Geoffrey Blum seems to
have written a comic-book story based on the same cartoon outline which
has been drawn by Massimo Fecchi. (Information taken from Gemstone's
