The story you mean must be the story in which Donald uses a geiger
counter to find the nephews (WDC 184).

You're right. The code is WDC 294.

Just a guess. Is it the spring cleaning story (WDC 213), in which
Donald uses fishes to mislead the Junior Woodchucks' official
bloodhound?

Barks hypnotism and hallucination trivia
Message 111 -
2003-07-09 at 16:43:52
Here are the results of the hypnotism and hallucination trivia quizes,
so far.
- - - - - - -
Spotted Barks stories with hypnotism:
0. wild colt story (WDC 59)
1. the littlest chicken thief (WDC 219)
2. the hypno gun (WDC 145)
3. The Swamp of No Return (US 57)
4. Back to Long Ago (US 16)
5. Cave of Ali Baba (US 37)
6. The Lost Peg-leg Mine (DD 52)
7. Adventure Down Under (OS 159)
8. going ape (WDC 91)
9. You Can't Guess! (CP 2)
10. The Thrifty Spendthrift (US 47)
11. dissatisfied snake charmer (US 57)
12. Brain-strain (OS 1184)
13. Ten-Cent Valentine (WDC 258)
The answers were sent by:
Arie Fachrisal (6); Arthur de Wolf (1); Frank Bubacz (2); Larry Giver (2);
Timo Ronkainen (1); Tryg Helseth (1).
I hinted at 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.
These stories are:
14. Raven Mad (WDC 265)
15. Music Hath Charms (JW 21)
This makes a (sub?)total of 16 Barks stories with hypnotism.
- - - - - - -
Spotted Barks stories with hallucination, other than by hypnotism:
1. Oddball Odyssey (US 40)
2. King Scrooge the First (US 71)
3. Ten-Cent Valentine (WDC 258)
The answers were sent by:

Cripes. All those newspaper articles about me while I was in Napoli... do
you suppose they were all as inaccurate as this one?! I am the father of the
Ducks? I will publish comics in America? I said Naples was just as I
expected it? I don't talk much? (Nobody could understand English except my
wife and Blasco! And Harry. Did they think I could speak Italian and was
just keeping quiet?) That reporter wasn't even with me during the events she
reports as if first-hand. It reads like I'm the only soul on earth creating
Duck comics. I wonder what all those great, great Italian writers & artists
think after they read this stuff. I hope they don't blame me for it.
Didn't anyone translate the newspaper headline-articles about me after my
wife was robbed by a pursesnatcher? Those would be fun to read. (But I
imagine the article will claim that I said the pursesnatcher was "just as I
expected him" and that I didn't say much when I was chasing him on his
motorscooter. Just "STOP THIEF!")
By the way, I'm not sure if it's been made quite clear yet -- turkey
dressing is, indeed, the stuffing that is cooked inside the turkey while it
roasts, and though it can often be very sweet using fruit as one ingredient
(there's an infinite number of ways to make stuffing), it is definitely
*never* made of custard or of a custard or pudding-like consistency. I'd
hate to try to pump a vast turkey cavity full of liquid pudding or figure
out how to get it to stay in there, and I don't think the custard/pudding
would do well after roasting for 6 or more hours at 400?F or how it would
fare with all the turkey's blood & juices mingling into it. Ecch.

From Gilles' great "Calisota Online" pages:
"In the cartoon "Stuck on Christmas", from "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas",
2000, aunt Gertie comes to Donald's for christmas day, with Huey, Dewey,
Louie, Donald, Daisy and Scrooge. Her name is probably a short for
"Gertrude". She must be a distant aunt from Gus' side, given her corpulence
and her "G" name. "

He/she should check "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas" (If it was released in
Holland).

Now that Gemstone has brought Disney comics back to the USA, I hope to be
able to contribute a bit more to this list.
Mostly, I'm glad to get the new Don Rosa stories that have been accumulating
over the years. the Dutchman's Secret was a real winner. The running gag
about the glue kept getting funnier, and all the background gags kept what
could have been a dry historical explanation-type story engaging.
Thanks to Don and the folks at Gemstone.

No, it wasn't released in Holland yet. But it *will* be, next Christmas (probably on DVD). This is the cartoon that the translator is currently translating.

Jippes about Barks and Rosa in 1987
Message 120 -

I recently got a German SPRECHBLASE from 1988 with an interview with Daan Jippes (by Carsten Laqua).
There are some interesting things in there that I didn't know yet.
The following bits are retranslated to English (the original interview was in English, the published text is German).
Daan Jippes about Carl Barks:
"Barks is a very private person. When he can choose, he prefers to work alone at home, year after year, without meeting anyone. That is his personality. The story goes that he, when he worked for the studios in the 30s, was very retiring. He never went to other people to sit and have a talk."
Daan Jippes about Don Rosa:
"A good artist - very dynamic, many big panels, really exciting stuff!"
Note that the interview was held in 1987, when Rosa had just started making Disney comic stories.
--Harry.
