Well, though the solvent doesn't "glorp" air, I found the mentioned
sequence to make perfect sense. With only a constant amount of air in
the shaft and the solvent swallowing more and more *earth* below it, the
pressure would decrease accordingly, sucking things from above down the
shaft.

That was one of these strange moves of the Company. They are propietors of Donald, of Carl Barks stuff. The are owners of Tara, too.
That squawking Donald was an insult to the great Carl Barks character. I am no crazy about comic adaptations... who want them? But maybe some day will exist an animated series or movie really based on the Carl Barks and (why not?) Don Rosa comics...

Ooops. Of course, you're right, he *was* known as "The Black Knight" (with

I was thinking of the armor he steals, then covers with Omnisolve (TM),
thus becoming the Glorping Black Knight.

Hi all!
I recently found new-to-me info about what stories were going to be in the
October Gemstone issues. I'm posting it here for others who may not know. To me,
it looks like a great month with some potentially great stories(I say
potential since I haven't read them before, though I'm sure most of them have been
read by DCML's European members.
Donald Duck and Friends 309- Donald Duck "Stop The Presses" by Mike
Barrier/Vicar. Mickey Mouse "The Fighting Sword of Shambor" Part 1 by Pat McGreal/Cesar
Ferioli. "Tnagled Dreamcatchers" by Pat and Shelly Block/Anibal Uzal.
Mickey Mouse and Friends 258- Mickey Mouse "The Copy-Cat Crimes" by Byron
Erickson/Cesar Feriloi. Mickey/Goofy "X-Goofs" by Stephan Petrucha/Rodriguez.
Uncle Scrooge 323- "Travails" by William Van Horn. "The Coin" by Don
Rosa(cover as well). "The Titanic Ants" by Carl Barks.
Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 638- Donald Duck "Going Wild" by William
Van Horn. Carl Barks Gyro Gearloose story. Mickey Mouse "The Great Birthday
Robbery" by Byron Erickson/Cesar Ferioli. Donald Duck story by John Lustig and
Fethry Duck story by David Gerstein.
Donald Duck Adventures 2- Donald Duck "The Luck of the Duck". Mickey Mouse
"Postal Panic". Uncle Scrooge "The Knucklehead Stone".
I think it's safe to declare October Ferioli month. ;)

Speaking of dictionaries, I wonder in how many languages the story's title
will be translated as simply "The Black Knight Strikes Again", as using a
noun as a verb is not something that one can do in every language. Greek is
one such language that comes to mind.

Since "glorp" is a non-existing word, it might as well be a verb. So there would be no problem to have titles like "De Zwarte Ridder glorpt weer".

Well, at least in German it would sound strange to say "Der schwarze
Ritter SPROTZT wieder" (because the Omnisolve doesn't "glorp" in the
German translation, but "sprotz"es), but it would be at least not impossible to say
that.

Yes, the Omnisolve(tm) suit *does* consume air. $crooge has had Gyro seal it
inside a giant block of Forbidium and there is a great suction caused when
they penetrate into the vacuum of the inner chamber to get at the armor. Why
do they want to do that? That's all I'll say.

Well, I am *always* thinking ahead to things like that. I am also always
thinking of how *poorly* the "GLORP" sound effects will be done in the
Egmont editions, and I look forward to all the lovely Italian and French and
Greek "GLORPS". I have been trained after 15 years to brace myself and
anticipate every possible way I will be disappointed by presentations.
(Even the Gladstone edition, which was excellent in all other ways, omitted
about half of the "GLORP" sounds for some reason, which spoiled each of the
panels where that omission occurred.)
I not only considered that many translators will not want to create a nice
sound effect to match "glorp" but also will not bother to use the sound as
an amusing verb in the story title. But then I am also faced with the fact
that about 50% of the story's humor comes from the fractured "Inspector
Clouseau" English that Arpin Lusene spouts constantly -- how many
translators will bother to write similar funny fracturing of their own
language?
But as for the story title, not only am I prepared to see it written as "The
Black Knight Strikes Again", but that *was* my own title for the story until
I was looking at the finished storyboard-script and the idea for the use of
"glorp" as a verb suddenly and belatedly struck me! So, if the story appears
some places as "The Black Knight Strikes Again", s'okay... that's actually
the original title.
By the way, speaking of lovely sound effects and lettering in general, just
yesterday Todd Klein sent me copies of the lettering job he's done for the
Gemstone Comics presentation of "The Dream of a Lifetime". Todd is a big
Duck fan (and Rosa fan, if I may say so since it explains this) and he has
volunteered to again letter my stories as he often did for Gladstone Comics.
Todd is the best comics letterer in America, the constant winner *every
year* ( for about 10+ years?) of the Eisner Award for lettering (the Eisners
are the equivalent of the Academy Awards for American comic books). I am as
proud as punch that my stories will appear in their native language with the
*best possible* lettering and sounds effects! I look forward to seeing a
Klein Glorp!

I must admit to being quite STUNNED by GARY LEACH'S news that an upcoming
issue of DD&F will feature a Launchpad appearance. As my previous pessimistic
quote indicated, I thought that "DT" had sunk below the radar of both Disney
and Gemstone by this time. It was especially gratifying to see Gemstone
recognize Launchpad's continuing appeal after the decidedly uneven handling of
the "Gladstone I" "DuckTales" title -- a true "mixed bag" of largely mediocre
Studio-produced "DT" stories, Barks reprints, generally excellent (albeit off-
center) Lustig/Van Horn opi, and even one "regular" Duck story in which
Donald's presence was explained by Scrooge's comment that Donald was "on leave
from the Navy." I appreciate Gemstone's sentiment and will definitely make
known my desire to have more such material in future issues.
JONATHAN GRAY mentioned the mishandling of the "lucky dime" notion in Marv
Wolfman's "Scrooge's Quest." I tend to think that the overreliance on
the "lucky dime" conceit was but one example of Wolfman's general lack of
familiarity with how the Ducks' universe(s) operated. Another example would
be the final installment of the serial (Disney DUCKTALES #7), wherein a
paranoid Glomgold works himself into a frenzy over Scrooge's apparent lack of
concern that Glomgold has taken over Duckburg. Joe Torcivia correctly
compared the characters' attitudes in this tale to those of Daffy Duck and
Bugs Bunny in Chuck Jones' "duck season/rabbit season" cartoons. Wolfman
didn't seem to realize that the characters were acting WAY out of character in
this one. Though a gifted writer, Wolfman may very well have figured that he
was dealing with talking Ducks, after all, so who'd mind some non-canonical
interpretations of characterization?
ROB NEYER fingered "All Ducks on Deck" as a particularly "Barksian" episode
of "DuckTales." I concur -- the use of Donald in this ep was inspired, and
the story showed (as did "Three Ducks of the Condor") that it is definitely
possible for Donald and LP to coexist believably in a Duck adventure without
sucking up one another's oxygen. LP is NOT merely a stand-in for Donald, he
is a character in his own right with different motivations, attitudes, and
hang-ups than Donald. I know that there are a couple of Donald/LP "DT"
adventure floating around in the Egmont "discard pile"... I'd love to see one
in (say) DONALD DUCK ADVENTURES someday.
The notion of Glomgold living in Duckburg, which DAVID GERSTEIN traced to
the "Egmont Glomgold revival" period of the 70s, was duplicated
in "DuckTales," with the added twist that Glomgold now sported a Scottish
accent like Scrooge. This last always made logical sense to me; where ELSE
might another ambitious, money-hoarding miser have come from during that era?
If Scrooge could go to America to make his fortune, surely Glomgold could have
chosen to seek HIS riches in South Africa. As for Flinty's move to Duckburg
(political considerations aside), I always figured that at some point,
Glomgold would decide to settle closer to Scrooge in order to keep closer
track of his great rival.
The influence of "DuckTales" does have a way of popping up in unlikely places,
despite the "lack of popularity" of "DT" comics stories abroad. Among the
most recent Gemstone releases, Kori Kerhonen(?)'s "Sons of the Moon" in the
latest WDC&S featured some interesting wrinkles that may very well have been
inspired by "DT", and I'm not just talking about the fact that the story
starred only Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The notion of a single Nephew being
singled out as the thematic focus of an adventure first appeared (in this
country, anyway) in the 1987 "DuckTales" episode "Duck in the Iron Mask." Pat
Block has since focused on one Nephew in his first story "The Mystery at
Widow's Gap," but as far as I know, "DT" got there first with the idea. Who
knows but what Kerhonen drew some inspiration from the episode's idea of Dewey
becoming alienated from the other Nephews because he is tired of looking
exactly like them.
It appears that I goofed up my quote of DON ROSA's comments about his
interpretation of "DT" -- it was one of those things where I knew what I was
trying to say but didn't phrase it quite right. Sorry, Don.

Hello,
Recently I bought a few dozen boxes with magazines and comics. I though all were dutch, but one of the books was a German comic album with stories of a Dutch artist called Daan Jippes. Unfortunately, I hardly understand any German, so if any of our German friends would be interested, please drop me a private mail.

There has been some discussion lately about Donald's voice on
DuckTales and in other animated incarnations. Although it's
perfect for the sorts of situations Donald encountered in the
early cartoons, IMHO his squawking, quacking voice isn't
particularly well suited to Barks-scale adventure stories. I'm
probably forever biased because of my memories of the way my dad
read the stories to me as a small child, but when I read the
comics I imagine Donald as having a relatively normal voice.
That may sound odd to others, but am I alone in this? The early
cartoon Donald and the Barksian Donald are like two totally
different characters, really, and I imagine them as having
different voices.
I also imagine Scrooge with a Scottish accent that was much
heavier when he was younger, but gradually became less
pronounced as he traveled the world (in Rosa's Lo$). By the
"current" time frame I imagine his accent as considerably less
noticable than it is in DuckTales. (Although in the animated
form Alan Young does a wonderful job with the character. I just
see the animated Scrooge and comics Scrooge as, again, two
versions of the character.)
There's that Barks reference that keeps popping up (and which of
course I can't remember exactly at the moment) where the nephews
refer to him as having a Scottish accent, but they don't say how
thick it is. ;)
Again, I admit I'm probably biased by my memories of my dad
reading the stories to me (sans Scottish accent and Donaldish
garbling.)
How do you all imagine their voices? Given that many of you
don't speak English as a primary language, I'd be interested to
hear your unique spins on this.
