Hi everyone!

Mark:

Welcome in the DCML's spotlight!

>>> Now, has anyone noticed this? In one Rosa story he
>>> pays homage to Orson Welles' classic "Citizen Cane".
>>> The dialogue from three panels is practically word for
>>> word straight from the movie - except the reference to
>>> Charles Foster Cane is changed to Cornelius Coot (that
>>> should be a clue). Even the illustrations, one with
>>> detailed shading effects, are derived from the movie.

Oh noooo. You've reminded me of yet another thing I lost when my hard disk
crashed last month. I had made a page with Citizen Kane references in Don
Rosa, with scans from two stories and captures from the corresponding
scenes. I have just browsed through my site(s) and can't find them (in case
I had already uploaded the pages, perhaps to show somebody). I had forgotten
about this page. :( :( :( :( :(
I guess you're thinking of panels 1-3 p 5 of "His Majesty, McDuck" (U$A
14, August 1989; Don Rosa Album 4), where the ducks read "the chapters in Mr
Coot's manuscript regarding Fort Duckburg" at the Coot Memorial Library.
panel 3 duplicates a shot from the movie.

Best wishes to all,

Olivier--
looking forward to more Barks/Rosa quizes

Hi all

First of all, the same thing is probably going to happen here...
well, you see you can subscribe to DCML in two ways -
get every mail by itself or in digests. i get the digest, as I
suppose you do. Maybe Per would find it appropriate to
tell us how many do it one way and how many the other?

But in any case my advice would be: If you have an answer
to a question - well go on and send it - so what if the answer is
mailed by some different people - you might have some info that
none of the others had!

I know how you probably feel about being able to read duck comics
in your own mother's tongue again - all friends here in that situation:
i's absolutely wonderfull, I presume? :-)
I just ordered a subscription via that danish comics shop today,
except for the first US, as Gary has bought that for me.
But i agree on the prices - it?s probably to high to get younger fans
cought on the stuff. - The Scandinavian publisher has a different strategy
there,
by rightly making the magazine suitable for kids, as was discussed a month
ago
(I am behind on my digests). Because we older fans will buy the whole bunch
anyway! I halfly buy the comics to read them, and they are good stories.
maybe quarterly to have a full collection, but also - and I know it's a
drop in the see,
give my 10 cents to keep them publishing this or that great magazine.

That's not totally true for the monthly extra comic 8called Mickey Mouse
in my
neighbouring countries - and in Sweden it's been bi-monthly for some years)
I once said i wish it would stop - it's mostly reprints and other
not-so-significant stories.
But hey? For the kids, it's the first time they read the things - so if
they like this, the 5th
duck magazine of the month (the usual weekly making the first 4) let them
buy it -
and so will i continue to do. my collection is complete, except for one
issue from 1999...)
I hope they'll eventually have an article page there or such - maybe
telling about the stories
published in the mag.

>Can anyone identify this story, and the three panels
>in particular?
Of course - it?s king Scrooge by Don. You probably know about the other
references to
this classic movie in Don's other comics? In Lo$ chapter 12 the first
pages are really
ripped out of the movie because Don loves it. - In The incredible
shrinking tightwad
the rosebud-sled is somewhere in scrooges storage room.

Nice - They did that too with the danish extra in the 80'es two years in a
row...

Well, shows Don's sort of hidden agenda worked - that was exactly the plan
AFAIK - the publishers who notice this page and see that it's meant for
publishing the story in two parts, will cancel it if they publish it in
one part.

And the publishers who... well, i haven't ever found out about the dutch
publisher
and their Extra... they seem to think Don's stories deserve this nice
extra issue...
Well, this publishers readers don't miss anything, as they get a page of
extra,
unncessary gags. The reason the norwegian publisher published this extra
page
of the story? well, maybe they want to give the readers the joy of reading
this
extra page?

>Anyway, I found it a great story!! One of the best you've made Don.
I think I've exclaimed the same here, or personally to Don.
Should don have not started again after the "strike", this would have been
a nice
last story! Really going out with a slam - that last drawing... Oh, I
wont spoil the joy,
but look forward to it being published in the gemstone-comics :-)

Maybe they saw the title as an order?? Forget it! - okay the editors say -
the guy obviously wants us to forget about this story - for once we'll
follow orders :-)

(only joking - I'd enjoy actually meeting the dutch editors - I actually
have
heard that they are great duckfans, maybe just not that big Rosa-fans. )

We're back up again after several down days. I get digest
emails, packs of about 10 posts, but when there is a
discussion that I find particularly interesting, I don't wait
for the email; I just go to the website directly to see the
latest posts.
A few days ago I found something surprising that
I hadn't taken notice of before. Who knows which story
this Barks quote is from:
:You can't do this to us! We're junior members of
the bear cub rangers!"
Best wishes, Larry Giver.

Lets try this again.

Anyone have this issue/story?
I'm curious about Minnie's nieces.

The INDUCKS states that they appear, but I was wondering if one, two or three
nieces appear and what they look like.
Thanks,
Rich Bellacera

My (non-spoken) presumption was correct - the mayority reads dcml via
digests. :-)

I'm sorry, but I found that information funny enough to give
me a bit of indigestion. I feel like a consumer that has been
"consumed" since I am one of the Digested members. :-)

Does anyone here own a copy of the British publication: MICKEY MOUSE ANNUAL #7 ?

http://stp.ling.uu.se/cgi-bin/starback/dcml/story?U+MMA+7-B67

If so, I would very much love to see a picture of Clara Cluck's smart nephew
Clarence.

Thanks,
Rich

Thanks Thomas. Interesting cover. My specific curiousity was whether the artist
would give one or both of the nieces curls as that is a distinctive trademark of
Melody's. In this case both have the curls.

Thanks again,
Rich
