These dates were published in an official Disney magazine? And they were
presented as if they were Disney facts, and not the opinions of one creator?
What on earth has happened, then?
I thought Kaczor Donald was published by Egmont, too?
(oh, and: Personally I don't care if they have ripped Sigvald's pages or not,
but I don't think this information should be printed at all.)

Dear friends,
I've just re-read "Kaczor Donald" 31-2002. This is a special 350. issue and
it contains short descriptions of the most popular Disney duck characters.
The facts metioned there are well-known, but these descriptions are
interesting for me for other reason. They are very similar to these from
"who is who in Duckburg" - a site by our friend Sigvald Grosfjeld jr. Of
course I can be wrong, but try to compare these decsriptions with Sigvald's
web-site

Twilight Bark and name changes

First, to Daniël and Lars regarding the "Twilight Bark" and 101
Dalmatians...
I read the book on which the Disney movie was based when I was a
child. The "Twilight Bark" was in the book, which was published
long before any of the comic stories we've been discussing. But
I doubt there's really any connection. ;)

Self-promotion of Keno Don Rosa
Message 200 -
2003-08-11 at 22:38:18
Hear hear! I'm personally getting sick of the Rosa blasting myself. To add
my own "humble" opinion to a whole string of opinions: I think Don Rosa is
the best Duck artist out there today. Now, I can hear the groans and moans
from across the Atlantic, but I cannot deny the fact that I get more
pleasure from reading his stories than I do from reading stories by most of
his contemporaries and I've been reading Disney stories since I was a child
(As many of you here have as well, I know). This is not to say they are bad
artists, I simply like Rosa's style of art and storytelling and, honestly,
most stories coming out of Europe don't really move me at all. I often find
the art to be boring and generic and the storytelling, well, let's not get
into that. I believe as a storyteller, one should always ask themselves
"What am I doing that is so special? Why would anyone want to read this
stuff?" Rosa, I believe, asks himself these questions and it shows in the
quality of his work. It goes well beyond cranking out a passable product in
order to beat the deadlines. I think Rosa has contributed a vast amount to
the quality of today's Disney comics, and I dare say, if it weren't for him,
we would have far fewer readers of Disney comics in the US.
Barks left some pretty big shoes to fill, and it is to Don's credit that he
has had the bravery to attempt to fill those shoes. Whether he did so
successfully is, was and shall be for all time a matter of opinion. But I'll
leave you with this thought: Are musicians who are influenced by previous
generations of popular musicians simply "trying to get attention"? Of course
they are! You think The Beatles or the Rolling Stones didn't harvest ideas
from their predecessors and tried to expand on those themes? Is Mozart any
less of an artist for doing this? Picasso? Van Gogh? Perhaps I'm using grand
comparisons here, but the point remains: Artists are influenced by their
elders. This has always been so and always WILL BE so. Thanks for indulging
me.

You are right, Olaf. I always thought that official birthday dates of Disney
characters are dates of the first apparances (e.g. Mickey was born in
1928). They shouldn't print these dates - they are based on a view of only
one creator (to be honest: the most popular creator, but still...)

So, before my inbox gets flooded with angry messages (like the time someone from DCML threatened to come and kick my American a**) I'd like to publically apologize for the confusion.

Mickey Mouse comic strip returns to America

I don't read my email for two days, and look what happens! I have more
than a dozen more digests to read/skim through before I'm caught up - so my
apologies if this material has already been covered:
I don't have any information about when or if the Mickey Mouse newspaper
strip was cancelled.
What I'd really like to know is - how can we find out which newspapers are
going to carry the new strip? And whether or not any compilation volumes
of it will be published? (as is done with Mutts, Garfield, Dilbert, and
pretty much every other American newspaper strip)

So: The one WRITING the quoted paragraph, was Sigvald - but he wrote it about
Geoffrey Blum, not Don Rosa. So nobody really SAID this about Don Rosa, except
Daniel, which said it just to state an example.
Hope that's cleared up now.

How did you guess that I was thinking about Don Rosa? ;-)

"the most popular LIVING creator"
But is Barks really more popular than Rosa now? There are so many Don Rosa
websites in the net, Rosa name is put on every cover of many weeklies when
there is his story inside, many people, also on this ML, thinks that Don
Rosa is the best Disney artist ever so I wouldn't be 100% sure.

How did you guess that I was thinking about Don Rosa? ;-)
I should write:
"the most popular LIVING creator"
But is Barks really more popular than Rosa now? There are so many Don Rosa
websites in the net, Rosa name is put on every cover of many weeklies when
there is his story inside, many people, also on this ML, thinks that Don
Rosa is the best Disney artist ever so I wouldn't be 100% sure.

Thanks for both of your help. I think David's suggestion is the one
I'm looking for, as the magazine I'm thinking of clearly had Mickey
play a Watson role to the separate "Sleuth" character. The College of
Criminal Knowledge sounds familiar as well.
Thanks again,

Who actually created HDL?

I know that Huey, Dewey & Louie were in simultaneous production in both animation
and comic strip. Sure the strip was published before the cartoon was ever shown
in the theaters, but who actually came up with the concept of Huey, Dewey &
Louie? Was the comic strip concept by Ted Osborne/Al Taliaferro created first or
was the cartoon story by Jack King created first? Which was based on which, not
which was actually publically presented first? This would, of course, include the
creation of their mother.
