No, wonder. It's well known that the average American knows next to nothing
about the geography outside USA. For instance many Americans don't know the
difference between the Scandinavian countries and far less the names of the
biggest cities here. On the contrary close to every Scandinavian knows the
names of most of the states in the US and the names of many of the cities
over there. So the "American readers" that you are referring to would
probably think that Greenland is populated by aliens or something.

But if that is true, why did he later bother to make stories that took place
in Peru, the Himalayas and even in Norway ? if he was so concerned about the
"American readers" that wouldn't understand much of that Geography anyway.
PS!
Nothing in this mail is intended to be insulting against anyone in this
list. AFAIK all Americans in this list are well oriented in Geographical
questions.

"Jorden Rundt med Donald" - A new proof for Greenland!
Message 572 -
2003-08-22 at 23:18:05
Hi all!
Today I have found a new, very important proof for my view about "Luck of
the North" taking place on Greenland.
In 1995 the Scandinavian Weeklies published a huge poster along with 75
stickers. The Norwegian version of this poster was called "Jorden Rundt med
Donald". Translated this title means "Around the globe with Donald". The 75
stickers show 75 various places on the Earth + Space + Fantasy - all shown
by Barks. It seems that this poster is based upon the original US-versions
of the stories as Norway is represented with "The Lemen with the Locket"
(sticker 32). And yes Greenland is indeed represented with "Luck of the
North" (sticker 27).
AFAIK this poster has been developed by the highly respected Donald Duck
expert Erik Hoerthe. I can't see why we should doubt his good judgement
about this.

Lets quote the b, c and d's from your previous mail:
b) The natives live in igloo's (ice-houses) *not* in wooden houses.
c) The natives are using Kayaks when they travel at sea.
d) The natives are drawn like, dressed like and are called Eskimos.
Well I did look a little in to it with a little search on google
Some nice examples are
http://www.explorenorth.com/library/communities/alaska/bl-MarysIgloo.htm
Even giving us coordinates: It lies at approximately 65? 09' N Latitude,
165? 04' W Longitude.
Remember Barks used the coordinates Lat 70 north and Long 167 west (which
was in the sea).
Looks like those places are only about 100 km apart :-)
I also found out "that an Alaskan igloo as seen in Barrow consisted of
driftwood and sod. Temporary structures could be made of snow."
Then this page where someone has a Eskimo guide and tells about Kayaking and
stuff, also there are pictures where Eskimos in clothes can be seen.
http://www.turtletrack.org/Issues00/Co03252000/CO_03252000_Alaska.htm
All these (easy to be found) pages tell me your point b, c and d DO NOT only
fit to Greenland Eskimo's.
Sigvald, perhaps you should read a little more before you tell someone else
too!

And I MIGHT have another reason, yesterday I did read another interesting
thing about this subject in the book from Donald Ault called "Carl Barks
conversations" on page 9/10:
"On those long stories, occasionally the idea came from somebody else. Now
that story where Gladstone and Donald were up in the Bering Sea and they
found that old Viking boat - that story came to me from Dana Coty, who used
to be an editor on Judge magazines years ago. He worked for Disney, too, for
a while. He had this idea for a story with quite a number of gags in it in
which Gladstone goes up to the North as the result of some trick that Donald
had played on him. So I bought the idea from him and developed it, added a
lot more to it. But most of the longer stories originated with me. And 90%
of the shorter-length Gyro stories, too."
Well the Bering Sea is next to Alaska and not near Greenland. Another reason
to stick with Alaska.
BTW idea Dana Coty is already in Inducks/COA.

On several occasions, I'm sure. Out of memory, you can see him searching his
pockets at the end of 'The Seven Cities Of Cibola' and emptying them
somewhere at the beginning of 'The City Of Golden Roofs'. As for their
contents, money and perhaps his old heirloom watch, I guess. Ah yes, and in
'The Second Richest Duck' he has tied his first dime to one of his pockets.
Hope it helps.

I too was surprised to realize that Luck of the North, or "Donald Duck on
Greenland" as the story is known in Denmark, actually takes place on the
north coast of Alaska. However, looking at a map gives a distorted view on
just how far the two locales are apart, due to the Mercator projection: The
Inuit ("The Real People"), or "The People Around the Pole" inhabit the
northern coastal parts of Alaska, Canada and the west coast of Greenland and
consider themselves one people, regardless of national borders.
I see no reason to assume anything but that the Danish publisher
Gutenberghus back, when the story was originally published, thought it a
nice
touch to move the action to a more familiar place, and without harming the
story at all.
Oh, and my only Disney art adorning my walls at the moment is indeed a
poorly reproduced but fairly large poster from the weekly, Barks' oil
painting of the cover of "Luck of the North". And, oh-oh, my mother just
left today for her last annual trip to Greenland. Greenland Air will be
taking over the flights, and double prices. Perhaps Blue Yonder Airlines are
still in business and can offer a frequent flyer package to the Arctic?

Oh, it exists, but it's just recently come off a three-plus year haul
negotiating one license. Once it catches it breath, then we'll see.
And I'm not being diplomatic. There has been no hint from Disney that
there is anything afoot to suppress the Gottfredson Mickey. As others
have already remarked here, the Mickey Disney has shown the most recent
interest in has been very much along "classic" lines - exactly the
Mouse that the best of Gottfredson exemplifies.
Can I be diplomatic, though? Oh yes, I can say "Please pass the sweet

Hi,
the discussion about Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse strips is obsolete. There still *IS* a complete reprint of all Mickey Mouse daily strips 1930-1955 published, produced 20 years ago, in a small edition of 300. Unabridged, starting January 13, 1930, with the very first daily strip story "Mickey Mouse lost on a Desert". Please look at www.3-13.com for details.

Thank you! Apparently it is well documented that he has pockets.
This fact is important to my story.
About the 1-page gag in US23: I love these 1-pagers. Since most of them
deal with Scrooge's daily life and not his high adventures, they provide
fascinating glimpses into the psychology of our favorite old miser.
There is, for example, a mini-series of four gags about how he tries to
get a free cup of coffee in a diner.
Gladstone collected all these 1-pagers in two wonderful albums as part
of the CB Library in Color. If they are still available, I recommend
them to all Scrooge fans. The print and color quality is, of course,
excellent.

I think it's about time that Scrooge meets some other villains than
the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell. Arpin Lusene would be a nice
variation, also as character.
The Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell are villains for greedy reasons.
They want to steal something from Scrooge. Mostly they run away and
Scrooge has to chase them.
Arpin Lusene is a villain for more elusive, ideological reasons. His
logical is different, like a mad genius. He just wants to destroy
Scrooge's fortune as some kind of promise to himself. Unlike the
Beagle Boys and Magica, he doesn't have to care of possesions stolen
from Scrooge. Instead of running and hiding from Scrooge and the bin,
he's approaching.
Just imagine that such a freak would come towards your collection.
I think most collectors rather see their collection being stolen
(which means that it might turn up again), than being *destroyed*.
Even more when it's destroyed for *amusement*...
With Arpin, Scrooge has to face such a guy. And in a way, Arpin is
a bit like Scrooge. He's mainly concentrated on the money, instead
of its value. Both Arpin and Scrooge just want to play with the money
for a while, in their own... er... distinctive way.
That's why I like Arpin Lusene, and why I think he's a character
which deserves a return. I hope that Don Rosa himself will tell more
about Lusene, I'm curious for his thoughts on the character (and his
plans with it).
