Hello everyone!
As I mentionned recently on the list, I have found the CD-ROM on which I had saved the "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady" files I had found a while ago.
I have made a page , with audio files from "Lydia, the Tattoed Lady" and "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" (mentionned in the same message to the list this week), so that you can now hear the song & the music Don Rosa refers to in "Treasury of Croesus" and his notes to "The Billionaire of Dismal Downs" (Part 9 of L&T-- not 10, as I had mistakenly written).

Click on Donald (selling newspapers), and follow the link in today's news item.
It's a bit short, but I didn't have time to do better-- sorry.
Have a nice day!

Help for script

Dear friends,
this may sound a little off-topic, but I decided to ask here anyway.
I'm writing a Disney comic script now, and could need the help from someone
with knowledge to the beautiful language of Latin.
With knowledge, I mean KNOWLEDGE. I already have all the words I need, but
need some help on the grammar.
(and if you were curious: I need Latin for spells, used by Magica de Spell.)
Best,
Olaf the Blue

According to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide:
"DONALD DUCK (Walt Disney's) (10 cents)
"Whitman/K.K. Publications 1938 (6-1/2x11-1/2", B&W, cardboard-c)

strip-r (in B&W); same format as the Feature Books; 1st strips with Huey,
Dewey & Louie from 10/17/37"
Also in Overstreet:
"DONALD DUCK
"Whitman Publishing Co./Grosset & Dunlap/K.K.: 1935, 1936 (All pages on
heavy linen-like finish cover stock in color; 1st book devoted to Donald
Duck; see Advs. of Mickey Mouse for 1st app.) (9-1/2x13")

Monty"
Since the 1935 & 1936 publications are illustrated text story books, I
believe the 1938 bubble-pipe cover is the first Donald Duck comic book.
Maybe someone else knows of an earlier one?
I don't think this comic is in I.N.D.U.C.K.S. (at least I couldn't find it).
I've got a copy of this comic book and would be happy to index it for
I.N.D.U.C.K.S. but I've got questions on how to identify the reprinted
stories to the date (and more importantly the story codes) of the original
Sunday comic strips. Also I need to know how to handle the "modification"
of the stories (as many panels were clearly added to, and possibly had
dialog added). Maybe Harry can help me?

Who wrote "Riddle of the Red Hat" (W OS 79)?
Or, to rephrase my question: Was it written by Carl Barks or not?
According to Carl Barks Library, this story was "written and drawn by Carl
Barks".
According to INDUCKS, this story has [writ: Eleanor Packer?] - with no
mention of Barks whatsoever (except that he drew it).
Which is correct?

I just picked up the new comics at Silver Snail here in Toronto on Friday,
and they had plenty of copies of both on the shelf. I don't know how many
they had sold, but I was obviously the first person to deal with this
particular cashier, as she had a lot of trouble finding the Canadian price
on the cover... $10.95! Ouch!!! The books look great though, and Don Rosa's
story was pretty entertaining. These are the first new comics that I've
purchased since I stopped collecting around 7 years ago. Hopefully they
won't be the last!

Daisy 's family-relation with April, May and June

I remember a question, asking if Barks ever identified Daisy's
family-relation with April, May and June.
In Barks's "Movie Mad" (WDC 257), Mrs. Storkly baby-sits Daisy's nieces,
April, May, and June. This family-relation is mentioned as such.

Animal-faces in Barks-stories / April, May and June
Message 413 -
2003-06-29 at 18:31:59
One june 6, 2003, I asked if anyone ever attempted to make a list of
the different animal-faces in Duckburg, apart from the well-known
dog-faces, pig-faces, chicken(?)-faces (like Gyro) and rat-faces.
You can see some results below. In these results, I've decided to
include non-Duckburgians and rat-faces.
The reason for including non-Duckburgians is that I find the variety
of animal-face more important than their location.
The reason for including rat-faces is that they are scarce, and
sometimes it's discussable if they really are rat-faces.
Thanks to Nils Klartekst (4 stories), Frank Bubacz (6 stories), and
Roy Kooijman (1 story).
Additions and corrections are welcome, of course.

Barks hypnotism and hallucination trivia

Spotted Barks stories with hypnotism:

2. the hypno gun (WDC 145)
3. The Swamp of No Return (US 57)

11. dissatisfied snake charmer (US 57)
12. Brain-strain (OS 1184)

The answers were sent by:
Arie Fachrisal (6); Arthur de Wolf (1); Frank Bubacz (2); Larry Giver (2);
Timo Ronkainen (1); Tryg Helseth (1).
Still, there are at least two other stories. One with Scrooge, containing
a scene showing hypnotism and a way how to do it. The other story is a
Junior Woodchucks story. Who knows them? And who knows more?

Spotted Barks stories with hallucination, other than by hypnotism:

I haven't found this one, so far.
The quote "Yo, ho! And a botle of ping-pong balls!" comes from the
ping-pong balls story (WDC 104), but I cannot find the "ghoshawfulest"
quote. Neither have I recognized the "Bless you" hint. I thought about
Donald sneezing, but in this story he's sabotaged by itch powder
instead.

That's what makes the hint tricky; it is not the story it points at, as you
noted. Thus...

You're referring to a song of The Beatles, titled "Yesterday".
I've heard different stories about this song. One is that John
Lennon rewrote the lyrics "Scrambled eggs" into "Yesterrday".
Another is that Paul McCartney made the song in about 15 minutes,
which would make it a rather fast rewrite. I don't know the
details about this song, though
I dimly remember a part of the original lyrics being mentioned
somewhere. It was something like "Scrambled eggs. Oh baby, how I
love your legs."
