I have to admit that I've thought much the same thing. It's just
difficult for me to imagine those long, complex sentences being voiced
completely in Donald's peculiar brand of unintellible English. Nor do
I see much indication in the stories I've read of anyone else having
trouble understanding him. (Granted, this was only done in the
cartoons in the DuckTales era, where practically every time Donald
opened his mouth, someone had to say "What'd he say?")

Likewise, I can imagine Scrooge speaking with an accent, but not a
thick one. He's lived in America for the lion's share of his life by
now, and I can speak from experience that it doesn't take long to pick
up part of the accent of whatever region I live in, although my
native-Californian is never completely gone.

The creator's name is Kari Korhonen. His first name is (slightly)
misspelled "Kori" in the Gemstone credits.
You suggest, Chris, that singling out just one nephew for special
treatment is a DuckTales-originated trend. You even imply that the mere act
of using HDL as solo stars could also be interpreted as some kind of
DuckTales homage.
In truth, DuckTales was not the first forum to single out one nephew for
special treatment in a story. An early Barks ten-pager showed just one
nephew creating a gold-finding machine; and there are many Taliaferro
strips, most of them reprinted in Korhonen's native Finland, where one
nephew is singled out and individualized.
As far as HDL as solo stars, such stories have been a staple of the
comics since the days of HUEY, DEWEY, AND LOUIE JUNIOR WOODCHUCKS, haven't
they?
DuckTales has been credited in the past with being the first to use all
kinds of fictional concepts (so that any more modern duck story using the
concepts must then be either paying tribute to DuckTales, or ripping it
off). I find that DuckTales, great show though it was, is given a lot of
credit in this regard that it doesn't deserve.

I saw the Danish version of the story [The Dream of a Lifetime], I enjoyed
it even then.

Here's something that's (remotely) related to a Carl Barks comic story:
I don't know how old the guy was when the picture was taken (or even when
exactly the photo was shot), but he *probably* started the hobby after the
Uncle Scrooge story was published. Whether he got the idea from the story is
anyone's guess...^_~

Now, if he only had 3 cubic acre bin filled with money and

> 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".
There would be a problem in Greek, where verbs have distinct forms, and
"glorp" is not one of them. One might try to slap on a suffix to make the
world look like a verb, but this is a practice that is frowned upon, and they
would be sure to receive a nasty letter from me if they did. Not that this is
very likely, as the Komix people are usually very carefull about the language
that they use.
An alternative would be to use the word as part of an expression, and make the
title something like "The Black Knight Goes Glorp Again", but for some reason,
this sounds like the aftermath of a sumptuous dinner at the McDuck mansion,
consisting of canned beans and tap water.

> How about "o Ippeus Melas glwrpei palin"?
(For all those to whom the above phrase may look like Greek, a word for word
translation from ancient Greek would be "the rider black glorps again".)
Well, if you switch the order of "melas" and "ippeus", you might get something
that a a handful of Greeks might understand and might even find amusing. The
"-ei" suffix is, the longer I think about it, the most appropriate, though not
one that I would have thought to use, and the use of an omega instead of an
omicron seems to me, though I do not know why, a stroke of genius.
Unfortunately, if this title were to be used, most readers (and definitely all
young readers) would read the above as:
The <something> <something> <somethings> againn. (Note the two n's.)
Then there's the problem of gamma being a soft consonant (similar to the sound
you make when pronouncing "water" in English), which does not convey the sound
of the "glorp" effect.

I posted this question before, but I was hoping a representative from
Gemstone might answer it. I was wondering why the website hasn't been
updated in a while. Shouldn't we see a whole collection of new covers now
that the ones currently displayed on the site have been printed and released
to the public?
Also, I wanted to know when subscribers will receive additional issues
of either Uncle Scrooge or Walt Disney's Comics and Stories promised them
from the Gladstone years. Several months ago, I did send an email giving my
name and address and was told that this process would take place in
September. Should I send Gemstone another email to make sure that my
information was confirmed and that additional issues have been added to my
subscriptions?
Lastly, I want to thank Gemstone for giving American McDuck/Duck fans
something that they have wanted for years.....more quality stories, artwork,
and issues. I have been most impressed by the care and creativity displayed
in the current brand of Disney comics. I hope that they never die out and
that a resurgence in popularity and recognition is down the road. Keep up
the good work!

Questions for Beagle afficianados
Message 15 -
2003-10-01 at 23:38:02
I recently read a short Beagle story (WDCD 18 - AMJ: "The Super
Baby-Sitters")
In this story Daisy's nieces are called upon by the Beagle Boys to watch
their nephew, the youngest Beagle, named Junior-176 1/4 while they rob a
warehouse. The girls fail miserably as the baby Beagle seems to have
all the criminal traits of his uncles, even carrying a crowbar disguised
as a babyrattle. They end up chasing after Junior who gets in the path
of the Beagles' car and foils their robbery. Then Granny Beagle appears
and takes custody of Junior, but the girls are rewarded by the
warehouse's owner, who gives the girls many dolls to play with.
Anyhow, now for my questions:
1) The address of the Beagle hideout is quoted by the girls as "176
Hoosegow Street." Is this the first time the Beagles' address is
listed, or does it perhaps appear on a mailbox or other place in other
stories, or is ita contradiction to another listed address?
2) Is this the first time the Baby Beagle (Junior-176 1/4) appears and
does he appear again?
3) I may be mis-remembering Granny Beagle, but I seem to recall that
she was just as much involved in the criminal activities, or at least
endorsing of them, as the rest of the Beagle family. However, when she
appears at the end of the story here, she takes custody of the baby and
says, "And I won't make the same mistakes raising you that I did with
your spoiled rotten uncles!" The implication is that she is
disapproving of the criminal activities of the Beagle Boys? Is this her
nature in most stories? Is she sort of like Grandmaw Wolf who
disapproves of Zeke's bad nature?
Thanks,

In this story Daisy's nieces are called upon by the Beagle Boys to watch
their nephew, the youngest Beagle, named Junior-176 1/4 while they rob a
warehouse. The girls fail miserably as the baby Beagle seems to have
all the criminal traits of his uncles, even carrying a crowbar disguised
as a babyrattle. They end up chasing after Junior who gets in the path
of the Beagles' car and foils their robbery. Then Granny Beagle appears
and takes custody of Junior, but the girls are rewarded by the
warehouse's owner, who gives the girls many dolls to play with.
Anyhow, now for my questions:
1) The address of the Beagle hideout is quoted by the girls as "176
Hoosegow Street." Is this the first time the Beagles' address is
listed, or does it perhaps appear on a mailbox or other place in other
stories, or is ita contradiction to another listed address?
2) Is this the first time the Baby Beagle (Junior-176 1/4) appears and
does he appear again?
3) I may be mis-remembering Granny Beagle, but I seem to recall that
she was just as much involved in the criminal activities, or at least
endorsing of them, as the rest of the Beagle family. However, when she
appears at the end of the story here, she takes custody of the baby and
says, "And I won't make the same mistakes raising you that I did with
your spoiled rotten uncles!" The implication is that she is
disapproving of the criminal activities of the Beagle Boys? Is this her
nature in most stories? Is she sort of like Grandmaw Wolf who
disapproves of Zeke's bad nature?
Thanks,
