SANTIAGO to me, 10-07-2003:
>> "And this day had started out so BEAUTIFULLY!"
>> (Which story?)
> U$ in "The second richest duck"?
That's the right answer. (US 27)
This is a story which I couldn't read fully for a long time, as a kid,
having only the first part of the Dutch reprint. So, I was always
curious how this story with those big money piles would end.
> May I propose this one?
Yes, of course!
> (I'm afraid it's too easy):
> "Beat it, you clammy ragbag! What's the idea?"
> Which Barks story?
Easy??? Did you say easy??? (Snarl! Grumble!)
On second thought, I don't think you should propose quotes. :-)

I didn't think of this connection. Scrooge's peanut comment in
"Christmas on Bear Mountain" (OS 178) was also one that made me
wonder if there was something more to be read between the lines.
I only know English as a foreign language.
Sometimes I learn of a double meaning which I didn't see at all.
And sometimes I expect a double meaning when there simply isn't any.

> that you had eaten enough if you'd only had one helping!
No. This was not the case.
I only meant that the dinner was different than what I was used to.
I never (or rarely) ate cranberries and pumpkin before, for example.
Dutch food is rather basic. And the Dutch people know it. So, I'm glad
with all the import of foreign ingredients and recepies.

The same type of food can differ from country to country. Even the same
brands can have different ingredients and flavours. Dutch custard may be
different from USA custard, for example. So, that's why I was asking if
something like that could be the case in the custard gun story, trying
to figure out a double meaning which (as Kriton explains) doesn't seem to
be there.

Hi all
I decided to read my dcml-mails from the last couple of months - so more reactions might come - but here's one.
Mon, 12 May 2003 19:05:20
Mr. Prior wrote:
>Scrooge may meet actual historical persons like Czar
>Nicholas II and John Jacob Astor (both died under awful
>circumstances) and yet he doesn't seem to live in a world
>where Auschwitz has happened.
I don't agree - in the world Don Rosa depicts, where Scrooge meets Nicolas II and Astor, why
wouldn't Auschwitz have taken place there, as awful an event as it, and what happened in all
other camps at the time were?
I'm not sure I would want Don or another artist to draw a story like this - after all many readers
are kids, and there are other ways to find out about these events than duck comics .. ?
But surely WWII has taken place in the world the ducks I prefer to read about live -
We've seen spies, we've seen Mein Kampf lying on a garbage area and so on.
Even though it hasn't been described, it doesn't meen it hasn't taken place.
I just finished reading Donald Aults "Carl Barks Conversations" and Barks once said that of
course Gladstone existed before he was in the first story - there was a whole town of people,
and chrecters would be shown when he needed them.
Remember that The Ducks where in Viet Nam? In a world where Titanic sank, the Russian
revolution took place and later the Viet Nam war - why would WWII have taken place?
Michael also wropte:
> Try and compare Donald and Scrooge to Vladek
> Spiegelman.
Sigvald replies
>Vladek who? I guess that character is not well known in Norway.
The artist Art Spiegelman made a comic where he depicts his parents,
who were in Auschwitz, as mice - but mice that looks more than humans
than scrooge does.
Sigvald, you should read the comic - and so should I, but luckily I knew about it.
Sigvald wrote, in the same reply:
>This is *not* entirely correct. WW2 is indeed mentioned as

Are you sure the biog war was WWII there? I remember it is mentioned,
and then the indian fellow asks: there has been 2??

No, it proves that you are interesting to the norwegian reader - this story was done
by one of our country - lets read it.
I have the story in danish and swedish, no name there - but remember we've had danes
writing and drawing stories for years. - you are the first one in many years.
BTW I hope one of you norwegian friends have thought of me on the issue with that story?

It's simply a fact. I have just been in Sweden - and I will tell about it here eventually -
and in every comic shop I went to, the name Don Rosa made a used issue of Kalle Anka
be worth 5 times as much as one without. Even 5 times as much as one with a story by
old CARL. These conditions are absolutely insane, but true. As a result of those prises
my swedish Rosa-collection is still incomplete - it could have been complete if I had used
another 700 kr on 28 issues...

Hey friends,
A good friend of mine has asked me to propagate information about his business.
His name is Donald Whyte, and I have had the pleasure of buying comics from him since 1979, this long standing relationship being the reason for me to put this request here.
Don has a large stock of comics to sell, Disney, Dell, Goldkey and others... and he wants to sell as much as possible as soon as possible because he is at retiring age.
Anyone interested, please email me in private at martino at olsen.tdcadsl.dk

If Don Rosa is so da**ed important over there why have they seen less Don
Rosa stories in print than in Denmark and in Norway?
Anyway IMO NAFS(K) should try to do something with the insane situation in

Assuming that Blackheart's sons are 18 in 1880 (born in 1862) and that they
was born while Blackheart himself was 18 then he was born in 1844 - being
108 in 1952. But just relax - "A Little Something Special" is a typichal
fictional anniversary story - according to the Barks chronology Flintheart
Glomgold and Magica de Spell didn't apear in Duckburg until later.
