Oh, indeed that's an interesting notion... but I think I would have to disagree
with you. I *don't* think the coin would lose its value to Magica simply
because Glomgold was richer than Scrooge. I don't think this coin is so special
only because it's the first dime of the richest duck in the world. I think it's
enough that its original owner IS a man as wealthy as Scrooge... Regardless of
if anyone's richer. A coin that is cuddled with so much, by the richest or
almost richest man in the world...
(true, that also means I think she could do fine with Glomgold's coin IF he had
cuddled with it as much as Scrooge had)
Besides, I'm still sticking to the theory that the coin ain't omnipotal. I
don't think the coin NOTICES that Scrooge is no longer the richest duck in the
world, because it has a new owner. I think that the value of the coin comes
from how much money Scrooge has when he loses the coin, not in the exact moment
it is melted.
Also, Magica still has her backup bag of coins touched by OTHER rich men she
could melt it together with. That was the original plan, and I don't see why it
shouldn't work today. (in fact, I still believe that IS her original plan.)

Yea! Launchpad!
Message 457 -
2003-09-29 at 15:20:06
I just wanted to put my two cents in, and say that the prospect of seeing Launchpad in the comics in the future tickles the poop out of me! He is an excellent character, and I think he could work well in the Barks/comics universe. While I am excited to see Launchpad solo stories, I would love to see stories where he isn't the main focus necessarily. I think he could fit in like Gyro, Gladstone, or any of the others and be a character that shows up for a quick gag or to offer some kind of assistance on an adventure. Launchpad and Donald's interaction in "Three Ducks of the Condor" really paves the way for a lot of unused story ideas, I think. I liked the short stories revolving around flying and crashing a few years back, but I think the character can work well without the prospect of crashing. The continual crashing on the show was kind of funny, but I think the greatest humorous moments involving the character on DuckTales came from his bright, sort-of-naive-but-not-a-complete-buffoon nature. I loved his constant enthusiasm to help coupled with his screw-up nature! Furthermore, he really could be wise and heroic at odd times. Golly! The thought of seeing Launchpad makes me giddy and like a kid again.
I'm interested by the talk about Launchpad being older on Darkwing Duck, and I would love to hear more about how folks arrived at the assumption. I guess I always figured that Darkwing Duck began weeks after Launchpad's time on DuckTales. Scrooge had grown more dependent on Gizmo Duck (unfortunately), so Launchpad was able to take off to St. Canard in good conscience. I like to think Launchpad went back to Duckburg eventually, though! What worlds we create for ourselves when the stories end!

Where do the letters W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. stand for?

the meaning of its original title. I only got as far as Where (or When)
Huey And Dewey And Louie...

That's correct -- and the Dime has power in Magica' spell because it happens
to be his oldest coin which he's held the most for the longest time, not
*because* it was his "first" coin regardless of how much he's subsequently
handled it. If $crooge had earned a penny before that Dime, spent the penny
on more shoe polish, then earned the Dime second, the Dime would still be
just as powerful to Magica since it was the Dime he kept and loved for so
long.

Huh? Now you've changed your theory to something incorrect. The coin doesn't
"know" anything... it's just a coin. And it doesn't matter exactly how
wealthy $crooge is at any later point when the coin is in or out of his
possession... just that he *was* once very (!) wealthy. Even if he went
broke, that coin would still have been handled a great deal by him when he
was super-rich... it would still be just as powerful and useful to Magica.
In other words, the bit in my "Treasury of Croesus" story about the Dime
proving something about whether Croesus or $crooge was richest was only a
red herring. I needed a catchy ending.

Interesting that there is a similar line in the Dr. Seuss movie from the
early 1950's
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. When the villain's henchmen (who resemble
Beagle Boys, also very interesting!) have captured the boy hero Bart and
his family, they sing a song beginning "Arooty toot toot! Arooty toot
toot! Terwilliker williker Institute!"
Concerning DuckTales the TV show, I can verify that in the '80's both my
children and my adolescent students loved every episode much like Jonathan
Gray described his own infatuation with the show. I would tell my students
that the episodes were based quite often on Barks' stories from earlier
decades, and occasionally passed out copies of the Gladstone comics as
little prizes in my classes. (I teach in an all-boys Catholic high school.)
Someone mentioned the hilarious episode "All Ducks on Deck", which I
believe shows Donald squawking various orders at sailors during a crisis,
who respond with delightfully comic despair: "What'd he say? What'd he
say?!!!" This episode might also be a clue as to why Donald was not often
included in other DuckTales episodes: the nature of the classic voice of
Donald prevented easy comprehension in a plot more complex than the typical
action-driven cartoons of the 30's and 40's. The voices of the nephews
were modified and sounded less "Donaldish".
Giving Uncle Scrooge the voice of Alan Young with Scotch accent but without
"duckness" or "Donaldness" was obviously necessary for the more intricate
Barksian plots.

"Glorp" is the sound created when Omnisolve? consumes something/makes it
disappear. I don't know that for sure, as I haven't read "The universal
solvent" or "The black knight" in English, but I can say for sure that was the
sound word used when Omnisolve? dissolved something in "The Pertwillaby Papers"
(also by Don Rosa), and assuming Don is consist using his sound words, that
would most likely be the meaning of "glorp". (Speaking of The Pertwillaby
Papers, I just LOVE the picture where Hawaii is swallowed in a huge "GLORP"!
Oh, that's the best use of the word "glorp" I've ever seen!)
A question for Don Rosa: In "The Pertwillaby Papers" (Vortex), Lance discovers
that the Omnisolve? is too dangerous to use, as it consumes EVERYTHING around
it - including the air, and that it would suck up our entire atmosphere in
short time. I know that the Duckburg variant works a little different (too bad,
really - I love those sequences with the black hole, and the whole thing with
positive and negative charges... Wonderful story!), but it seems to me it would
still work the same way when it comes to air or not. And even though it's been
quite a while since I've read The Universal Solvent, I seem to remember a scene
where it actually sucks lots of air down in the shaft. So... Why isn't this
armour standing in Scrooge's trophy room a major threat to humankind only for
existing? This armour could probably have sucked up the atmosphere and killed
us all in the few years that have passed since you wrote that story!

Let me grab the comic-- here it is:
"When Huey and Duey and Louie Originally Thought To Adopt Junior-Woodchuck
Attitudes, Regulations, and Grandiose Organizational Nomenclature."
p3, the speaker is the H.E.A.D.H.O.N.C.H.O., ie the "Highest Executive
Administrator of Divisional Headquarters and Organizer of Nearly Complete
Historical Overkill".
p8 is a meeting of the B.I.G.S.H.O.T.S., the "Bureaucratic and Imposing
Gathering of Supreme High Officials of the Topmost Strata".
The boys eventually award their uncle "the title of official
U.N.C.A.D.O.N.A.L.D.": "Unselfish, Noble, Caring, Affectionate and Dedicated
Overseer of Nephews, and Altogether Lovable Duck"-- a very nice & typical
R.O.S.A. (Reasonably Overtly Sentimental Aftermath) ;)

Michiel (which I used to misread as Michael and only now discovers is
spelled with an "i"):
>>> Where do the letters W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. stand for?
>>> (This is the title of Don Rosa's HDnL jubilee story, D 97052.)
OMG IMS, ICFAT-- uh, I mean, Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, I completely forgot
about that. I saw your question a couple of days ago, among all these
interesting posts on evil characters, which I barely had time to skim over,
and I eventually forgot to answer. Sorry.

>>> As Don Rosa said, his next story will be called "The Black Knight GLORPS
Again!"

>>> Is it a short cut for something... a soundword... or something else?
>>> Will this new story include the OmnisolveT again?
Well, it's a huge glorp in the dictionary! ;)
"Glorp" is the sound produced when the Omnisolve (TM) dissolves somethiing--
and don't you remember why the Black Knight is black?
I like the title, by the way.
Oli-- GLORP!
