I think the letter was published in one of the "Carl Barks Library of WDC in Color" albums, possibly number 44.

Ah... That's exactly what I wanted to know. For a moment there, I feared that
Mickey had moved to Duckburg in American comics as a natural cause of Gemstone
printing Egmont comics. So in the future, every reference to Duckburg in ECN-
Mickey-stories (which you catch) will be changed to Mouseton? Good to know.

Maybe you're confused with Geoffrey Blum's article 'Raiders of the Lost
Barks', published in Gladstone album 'Uncle $crooge Adventures - Isle
of Golden Geese' No. 42, 1998. This article contains transcriptions of
three letters from Carl Barks to Don Rosa:
November 3, 1990
March 31, 1991
April 22, more or less [1991]
Apart from some story ideas, these letters contain two 1990s family trees
made by Barks for Rosa. A first version, and an updated version. This
updated version was made after Rosa sent Barks a xerox of Barks's 1950s
family tree. Only the first version is shown in Blum's article.
As far as I know, the updated version is still unpublished. According to
Blum's description, it contains the names of Old "Scotty" McDuck, and
provides names for Grandma's children.
There's at least one more letter from Barks to Rosa. A very small excerpt
of that letter has been published in footnote 5 of 'The Carl Barks Library
of Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures in Color' No. 22. The date of that
letter is:
October 21, 1988
So, in total, there are at least four letters from Barks to Rosa, including
two new family trees.
Information about letters from Rosa to Barks is unknown, though the Barks's
letters sometimes hint at some of their contents.
Some questions for Don Rosa:
- Is my information correct?
- Are there more Barks letters than the ones I've mentioned?
- Is there more material than what I've mentioned? (Sketches, notes, etc.)
- Do you still have all versions of Barks's 1990s family trees? And would
you allow them to be published or xeroxed?
- Do you still have copies of your own letters to Barks?

Slightly OT: TaleSpin episodes

Not to jump in before Don has a chance to answer (at least in my
digest subscription), but I know a few details about that, since
TaleSpin is one of my favorite shows ever. ^_^
The two episodes in question are:
-- "It Came From Beneath the Sea Duck"
-- "I Only Have Ice For You"
Both of which feature Don Karnage, my favorite character on the
show, and in my top five favorite Disney characters of all time,
so I pay close attention to these things. ^_^
If you watch those episodes you'll notice a few Barks-like
elements, including:
-- The phrase of disgust "Gosh all fish hooks"
-- The idea of hiding valuables in something common of the same
color. In "I Only Have Ice For You" Baloo hides rubies in
strawberry jam. Then, later in the episode, Don Karnage is
convinced there are diamonds in an iceberg(!!) Baloo is
delivering. (There aren't, much to Karnage's chagrin.)
Scrooge, of course, uses this trick in the Barks story about the
corn in the gold and the nephew's trained rats thwarting the
Beagle Boys. (I'm terrible at remembering titles of Barks
stories; my apologies.)
-- Lots of hilarious puns and funny names, including the name of
a wealthy Arab prince: Neverhas bin Broke (not sure of the
spelling on that, but you get the idea)
Just my two cents on the matter. :)

Hi all!
In the comments to his huge Duck Family Tree:
http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/myducktreebig.html
our French friend Gilles Maurice mentiones that there is a real statue of
Cornelius Coot in Disneyland, Florida, but there he is called Cornelius
Cornhoot - not Coot, that's IMO a big shame and a perfect evidence for the
total lack of respect for Barks and his work, that is frequently shown by
Disney Co. and many, many others. You can bet that if there is any statues
in the French Asterix park - they will be named correctly in accordance with
the names used used by Goscinny and Uderzo.
However this was not what I had planed to write about. Gilles also says that
Cornelius' "wife" - Clinton Coot's mother is called "Pluckahontas". Do
anyone know if that's a name Gilles has invented all by himself or if it has
actually been published somewhere?

That's "Meana Wolf." She does indeed appear in French Wolf stories, but
she originated in a USA story
http://stp.ling.uu.se/cgi-bin/starback/dcml/story?W+MM+90-04
She was a tough little tomboy who was raised with three brothers and was
probably tougher than they were.
Zeke thought it would be a good idea to introduce her to Li'l Bad in
hopes that she would have some influence
on him and make him tougher. Unfortunately the plan backfired and she,
instead, became "nice." Her father
then showed Zeke what he thought of him making a sissy out of his little
girl! Since then Li'l Bad and Meana
have been very good friends.

Yes, Cord, this is what I meant.
By the way:
Barks has drawn a rich uncle before he created Scrooge, in the (very
funny) Barney Bear and Benny Burro story about ferocious uncle Grizzly
(OG 33). It was accepted on 18 November 1946. Barks was paid for art
and rewriting of script.
Scrooge's debut 'Christmas on Bear Mountain' (OS 178) was accepted on
22 July 1947.

My most favourite Disney artist is Carl Barks. What I like the most
about him, is that he created a parody/model of real life by using
archetypes and common sitautions. Wealth, luck, love, struggling,
responsibility, guilt, unfairness, etc. etc. That makes his stories
not only amusing, but also helpful in trying to comprehend real life
and real people.
Here is one of my favourite Barks quotes. I think it perfectly
describes my main reason for liking Barks's world and stories so
much:
"The thing that is most important about my comics is this: I told it
like it is. I told the kids that the bad guys have a little bit of
good in them, and the good guys have a lot of bad in them, and that
you just couldn't depend on anything much, that nothing was going to
always turn out roses. In fact I laid it right on the line that
there was no difference between my comic characters and the life
these kids - the readers - were going to have to face. So when
Donald had some adventures, and he got buffeted around, I tried to
put it over in a way that the kids - the readers - could see, well,
that could happen to them. It was the way life goes. I just didn't
disguise anything or make things look rosy."
Source: Donald Ault - Carl Barks Conversations, page 44
(Interview with Barks by Donald Ault, 29 May 1973.)
I could go on for hours, explaining reasons why Barks is my most
favourite Disney artist. This email is just a short version. I have
to force myself to stop here. Otherwise, I'll end up writing the
longest DCML-email ever. :-)

One of my favorite "Rosa-like elements" in one of the episodes
(i don't remember which one) involves paying attention to simple
(but often overlooked) rules of physics. Don Karnage's base of
operations/main aircraft is a huge helocopter that big enough
to capture and transport smaller aircraft. In the Rosa-written
episode I'm remembering, the McGuffin that Karnage is after is a
very heavy little plane. Every time he captures it, the helecopter
has to adjust engines to keep from crashing, and every time the plane
escapes, the helecopter has to adjust to keep from flying away
uncontrolably. That may seem kind of obvious, but the plane keeps
on getting captured and escaping, and the whole thing becomes a
running joke that builds and builds...
Well, it seemd very "Rosa-esque" to me

One of my favorite "Rosa-like elements" in one of the episodes
(i don't remember which one) involves paying attention to simple
(but often overlooked) rules of physics. Don Karnage's base of
operations/main aircraft is a huge helocopter that big enough
to capture and transport smaller aircraft. In the Rosa-written
episode I'm remembering, the McGuffin that Karnage is after is a
very heavy little plane. Every time he captures it, the helecopter
has to adjust engines to keep from crashing, and every time the plane
escapes, the helecopter has to adjust to keep from flying away
uncontrolably. That may seem kind of obvious, but the plane keeps
on getting captured and escaping, and the whole thing becomes a
running joke that builds and builds...
Well, it seemd very "Rosa-esque" to me

The Cornelius Coot statue in Toontown Fair (one of the
lands in Magic Kingdom (one of the theme parks at Walt
Disney World in Florida)) is one of my favoite things in
Walt Disney World. It's unexpected to find something
taken directly from the comic books (instead of a movie)
and yet, there it is! It really the only reason to go to
Toontown Fair (unless you have small children).
And I'm pretty sure it is labeled Cornelius Coot. Of
course, the sign by the statue talks of him as the founder
of Toontown Fair (instead of the founder of Duckberg),
but that's a reasonable adjustment to the setting...
