In Barks's Bottled Battlers (JW 10 / H 94141), Magica flies on a
broom. A *motorized* broom to be exactly. On page 5, this results
in an (IMO) very funny scene of Magica polluting the air:
Police in helicopter: "Lady! Lady! What are you burning in that
AIR SMOGGING vehicle?"
Magica: "Pure lead-free concentrate of Vesuvian BRIMSTONE! What
did you think?"
Earlier, on page 3, Magica says while making a looping on the broom:
"Soon I, Magica De Spell, will be the world's RICHEST sorceress!
I feel like celebrating!"
And then she starts singing:
"I'll buy a jet with lots of room
and say goodbye to this drafty broom!"
So, according to this story, Magica is a sorceress on a motorized
broom, dreaming of a plane instead.
There's also a May 1995 watercolor called "Frequent Flyer", which
shows Magica on a broom. I've never seen this one, though. As far as
I know, it's unpublished and the buyer is unknown. So, I don't know
if the broom is motorized. (Can anybody tell me more about this?)
However, witch or sorceress, I do agree with Don Rosa that Barks's
Magica does her tricks in (more or less) explainable ways, and that
she's not supernatural herself. At least, I can't remember any
exceptions.
Barks's "Jet Witch" (WDC 254) contains another reference to flying
brooms and - this time - witches. During Halloween, Donald asks a
shortie where everybody is.
shortie: "I fink a old WITCH got 'em, mithter! I seed her fwy by a
minute ago!"
Donald: "A WITCH! If I didn't know such phenomena is imaginary, I'd
halfway believe the kid is right!"
(SWOOSH!)
silhouette: "Hee, hee, hee!"
Donald: "My stars and comets - a witch IS zooming around here!"
It turns out to be Gyro in a witch outfit, testing a new jet sky stick
he invented. It looks like a broom, but it's a "ionic ejector", and so
top secret that he had to wear a disguise. He figured nobody would notice
a witch flying around on Halloween. He's wrong, though. Next pages show
citizens in horrors when they see this witch disguise up in the air. They
believe it's a *real* witch. And a policeman falling from his horse says:
"A WITCH! Halt, witch! You have to have a LICENSE of some kind, I think!"
So, they're not very used to the idea of real witches, to say the least.
"Jet witch" is one of my favourites. It has a great mysterious atmosphere,
while there's in fact nothing really strange going on.
The only exception of a real flying broom in a Barks story, is "Trick
or treat" (DD 26). But that story is based on an animated cartoon.
I don't know if the broom is alive in the animated cartoon, though.
Maybe an explanation could be that the broom is in fact a person under
a spell, like the Ducks being turned into animals in "Oddball Odyssey"
(US 40). For me, the story works fine without an explanation. I would
find it strange to see (Barks's) *Magica* on a real broom, though.
So strange, that I'm almost getting curious to see her that way. :-)
BTW. Is Donald also sceptical towards witches in the animated "Trick or
Treat"? Or is it something that Barks put into his comic boom version?

I'm just contributing what I know about the subject, and sometimes I'm
playing around by writing some unserious (or only partly serious) emails.
It's certainly not my intention to annoy anyone. And I hope I don't.
For me the witch discussion is just an excuse to think a lot about
Barks's work. That's part of my hobby.
The only "selfish" intention is that I like to contribute unknown or

As you can see, the point Barks is making here concerns the reason for
Magica's beauty, not her magical capabilities. Use of the word "witch" is
the only context in which the point can be made.

It is.
>BTW. Is Donald also sceptical towards witches in the animated "Trick or

Apart from the first encounter between Donald and Hazel, when Donald thinks
she is a child in disguise, there's no hint in the animated short that he
doesn't believe she's a witch. He just acts rebellious, because Hazel hurt
his pride.
For those who are interested, here is a list of Barks' own ideas he added to
the storyboard he got (I'm referring to the original 32-pages-version of the
comic):
Most importantly, Barks added EVERYTHING that happens between Donald locking
the door on page 15 and locking the very same door on page 25.
Other, less significant changes:
- the graveyard in the foreground of the opening panel (in the short it's
just tree stumps)
- page 3: HDL visiting somebody else than their uncle
- page 14 top half: all of the ghosts that don't look like bedsheets are
Barks creations
- page 30/31: Same scene as in the film, but Barks added the suit of armour.
Is it because animated cartoon characters can bear more violence than comic
heroes? ;-)
-page 32: the conciliatory ending (in the short it's just HDL waving
goodbye, while Donald is still k.o.)
So all in all, apart from the major addition in the middle, it's actually
very close to the animated short. In fact, every single gag from the film is
in the comic.

Hi!
Some comments has been issued on Olaf's foreword to one of the books in the
"De Beste ?rganger"-series. Nynorsk and Bokmaal is the two official written
versions of the Norwegian language, both -as stated- official languages of
Norway.
All students in Norway are being taught the both of them, and both of them
can be written either very similair to eachother or very conservatively
different in either direction. Nynorsk was founded back in the late 1800's
based on Norwegian dialects, while, as correctly suggested from Denmark,
Bokmaal has developed the last century from being very similair to Danish to
become an independent Norwegian written language. Hence many words is the
same or close to the same in Danish and Bokmaal.
The, my opinion, cruely way Nynorsk is treated by many, as an appendix and a
handicap of all Norwegians, is in fact a wealth! Either you have a dialect
similair to Nynorsk or Bomaal, expressing your thoughts in a language very
close to your dialect is possible. Not many languages, as far as I know, has
such oportunities. If that is a handicap, let's try out how expressing our
thoughts in a foreign language is! There are people in i.e. older members of
the Samis in Northern Norway, being foreced to learn, read, write and speak
in Norwegian. Even before learning their own language.
While Bokmaal is the "ruling" written language, used in most newspapers,
magazines and in Donald Duck weekly, and the form most Norwegians' dialects
by date is closest to, Nynorsk is regarded by many, as the most Norwegian
way of expressing a text or a theatre.
Olaf writing his foreword is a very welcome contribution of getting Nynorsk
in print in an else Bokmaal dominated Norwegian press.
Thank you, Olaf!
By the way, let's hope the Sami people get their own weeklies of Donald Duck
a.s.a.p.! Now they have sheduled a reprint in book format of the late 80's
weeklies. It is a start, though.

Don't tell anyone that you've never been an engineer, they'll know that
you're lying through your teeth. ;-)

You never were an engineer? Really! I thought you were!
What I was going to write was that I'm working for the Army Corp of
Engineers, and that your writing reminds of the review comments that the
engineers sometimes write: lengthy and analytic.
(The engineers have to write comments stating whether they appoved, or
disapproved, of a drawing, etc..)
Your posts on Magica just reminded me of that (I have to wade through tons
of review comments daily!).
I hope that's clearer, I've always been bad at conveying my thoughts in
words....sorry for not making it clearer before. I'm even more nutso this
week with some sort of head cold.
