Hi!

Sorry, I forgot to mention it. I haven't found the date. The code reads
10169-803 W.D. Zorro #9 - 6712.
I don't see any dates in the copyrights. Howard Victor Chaykin's
introduction doesn't give any.
Toth's foreword doesn't date the comics precisely either-- "Along came Zorro
in the late '50s"

It is indeed. More specifically, it's only Donald using it, in a ten-pager,
and he's not looking for Uranium-- it's rather a funny use of the detector.

I don't know where it's from, but I like it!

Hi y'all!

> (Which Barks story?)

How about "Duck out of Luck", in which Gladstone and
Donald participate in an ice-skating-and-fishing contest?

> My stars! A cataract of caterwauling cats catapulting at > my carp from the cattails!

> Technically, we can't call these bones a fish, Masked

And while we're still fishing, how about this quote:

"Speaking of mackerel, there's something FISHY about
this!"
"Yeah, it reeks of RED HERRING!"

(I'm afraid this quote is rather easy to guess, but it's
one of my favourites.)

I don't know. I have never read this comics. I only found this scan when I
was reading about history of comics in Poland.

No, these stories were created long time ago. The creators must be very old
(or even dead).

BTW: To only one legal Disney story in which the Pole is credited is D98155,
written by Tomasz Kolodziejczak, drawn by Vicar (14 pages).
Tomasz Kolodziejczak is (argh, I can't find it in my dictionary) the chief
of editorial staff of Polish weekly(maybe Editor-in-chief is a good word?).

Does Donald's final comment "Have some more dressing, boys!", in the
custard gun story (WDC 183), have anything to do with the custard in
the story? Or is there another joke in that comment, if any at all?

The custard acts like a dressing in the story, "dressing" the animals
and Donald. So, that's why I'm thinking of a connection between the
custard and the dressing.

Could that be a custard-like blend, as well? In the Dutch translation,
Donald has a pudding gun, instead of a custard gun. If I'm wrong in
comparing pudding with custard, maybe that will explain my confusion.

The Thanksgiving diner I had, contained pumpkin-sauce and even
marshmellows. I may be confused with the appetizers and the desert,
though.

I didn't have much time to think about that diner, because that
evening I heard of the (at least for me) sudden death of a well-known
Dutch poet and (song)writer, whom I've been in contact with. That was
a rather cynical timing for me, apart from the much too early death
itself. In that light, the Thanksgiving diner wasn't so sweet at all.

(Apologies for this depressing, off-topic end-note. It's just an
illustration of how life can be, or at least how *my* life can be.)

Who wrote the story with Oona's debut?

Don Rosa, and others interested:

Last March, you were in Naples. The local newspaper there reported your visit.
Eta Beta translated the newspaper articles into English (thanks again, EB!).

I (finally) put these translations on the web at:
http://dd50.inducks.org/fotos/j2003/p03-01trans.html

So you can now read what they wrote about you. 8-)

Hi all.

Has anyone heard of an Aunt Gertie?
She appears in a new Christmas film, and the translator likes to know if she already has a Dutch name from previous appearances.

Aunt Gertie is a rather fat duck lady.
(I haven't seen the film myself.)
