It was an easy task. I made a colour xerox copy of the drawing (in fact I
made TWO copies, one is framed in my room at the University...). Then I
used the xerox copy to get the T-shirt made from a dedicated service (they
usually do them from photographs, but they told me a color xerox copy was
all right too).
Unfortunately the T-shirt is made out of lousy material, and I'm afraid I
won't be able to wear it for more than three-four times.
But I can make an unlimited number of T-shirts, because they gave me back
that xerox copy! ;-)

>binder/notebook! ;-D LOL!
Well, it is "officially" (er, until Disney finds out, of course) the logo
for the cover of my notes written for my students at the university!
And prof. Nils Lid Hjort once asked me and Don permission to use that
drawing in a short publication inviting young students to take Mathematics
at the University of Oslo... I don't know however if it was really used (he
promised to send me a copy but I never received anything, so I suspect
something didn't work out as planned...)

Math & the Ducks
Message 168 -

Marco Barlotti's shirt by Don Rosa brought up the topic of math
and the ducks. Of course, they use math often: In several stories
Donald is calculating income taxes. Scrooge is always counting
money and projecting investment decisions. Ludwig is a wiz at
science and math, and HDL use advanced math, too. Even
though HDL have often played hookey in elementary school, and
showed no interest in many classes, they did amazing calculations
in WDC&S 195 "Runaway Train" to prevent a trainwreck, and
even became experts in other academic subjects like translating
ancient languages. How is this explained?
I found the answer in Barks' story "Want to Buy an Island"
WDC&S 235. This story starts in HDL's kindergarten class, which
they like. The class is play-acting the roles of bankers, realtors,
lawyers, etc. The classroom has normal kindergarten decor, but
look what's on the black-board: a CALCULUS equation! Truly, this
was a very special kindergarten class, where they really learned
everything they needed in kindergarten. Thus, they were so bored in
second grade, etc, that the lessons had nothing new, and so
they often played hookey. It wasn't until they joined the Jr Woodchucks
that they found new and exciting things to learn.

Yes, Daan jippes still writes a story now and then. He's producing stories for
Egmont now; and, in addition to redrawing the Barks Jr. Woodchuck scripts, he
writes and draws a story of his own. He has written one or two stories a year
since he moved to Egmont. I think they are very good stories too. He, himself,
says he doesn't enjoy writing nearly as much as drawing, and would rather just
draw other people's stories, if the scripts are good. Speaking of that... does
anyone here on dcml know if Daan has been scheduled to draw Geoff blum's
version of "Barks' Queen of the Apple Festival" story idea (Barks left not
enough memories to form a plot).?

I was giving some thought to the subject of Huey's, Dewey's and Louie's
attention to their academic progress; I had just read 'Sons of the Moon' by
Kori Korhonen (while not fantastic, I really did enjoy reading it, and would
love to see more stories from him). The boys were discussing that they were
so involved in the Junior Woodchuck duties (which they blame Louie for
volunteering them), they had neglected their history report!
From the (little) stories I've read, the junior savantism of Huey, Dewey and
Louie exists only in the Rosa/Barks universe. If I'm wrong, then please
correct me...(I'm pretending savantism is a word)...
But not that many people have actually, in my opinion, put much effort into
giving the duck triplets personality. Even those who did stories that
revolved *only* around them!!!
While Rosa doesn't give each of them a unique persona, he also doesn't make
them a symbiotic unit. But they're triplets, so they're bound to have the
ambiguity that comes from being someone's fraternal replicate, times three.
:-) They like a lot of the same things, such as Junior Woodchucks, and
"hating" girls.
Korhonen's HD&L are different (in a fun way) from Rosa's, even Barks', HD&L.
He too doesn't treat Huey, Dewey and Louie as three parts to a machine. I
like the way they were protrayed in his 'Sons of the Moon' story, even
though they weren't child prodigies.
They seemed to act alot like the HD&L from the beginning of the DuckTales
series, really.
I guess I'm making a big hoopla about Kori Korhonen because he's the first
person, besides Carl Barks and Don Rosa, that seems to care for the three
duck children. Huey, Dewey and Louie, by a lot of author/artists have been
overused and under appreciated. Though, in the story "Three Little Cupids"
by Patrick and Shelly Block, they were treated like the true coniving
genius' they were. ;-)
I would say Daan Jippes, but most of his story work comes from others. He's
a great artist, though.
What a would really like to see is someone who does a pretty good story of
Scooge or Donald, do a pretty good story of HD&L. Geoffrey Blum (the man is
obsessed with Magica, I swear), maybe?
Does anyone else have something to add to this line of thinking?

I've been hearing people talk about PK and "SuperDonald" or Duck Avenger,
and personally I'm not familiar with any of these alter-personalities of
Donald except by name.
I've seen "Donald" in his "super suit" on the cover of the one and only
Italian comic digest I own:
No. 146; STREPITOSO 89
But what really excited me is when I saw this site devoted to PK!
Even though I'm a staunch supporter of the ducks' adventures taking place in
the 40's through 50's, and them living on the west coast of the United
States in Calisota, the art and from what I could translate of the storyline
of PK made me go "Wow!".
If there were anyway for the stories to be published here in the U.S, I'd be
so happy! I know there's a lot of things working against that happening,
though. *sob*
*It's a pretty long running series. It would be kind of a gamble to start a
whole new series with guarantee of a strong readership. (;_;)
*Long stories. Ruling out insertion of PK stories into comic titles such as
Walt Disney Comics and Stories, or Donald Duck and friends.
Could anyone give me more information on PK or anything closely related? I
know so little about it! And can find so little about it on the internet!
*stifles sob*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And....
Is there any particular artist/author that you duck fans would like to see
more of? Non-duck fans can input they're opinion too, that's ok...really.
;-p
I know I would like to see more Marco Rota, Romano Scarpa, and that Kori
Korhonen dude too!
I'm hoping for some good European stories to come into English script, and I
mean good, not just some stupid story to take up page space. *growls and
scowls*
Also, what _characters_ would you *really* want stories of? I'm starting a
"Save Ludwig" petition....*sign here*...
I liked Grandma Duck stories that Gemstone came out with, and though I
wouldn't want her to be in every issue, I don't want Gemstone to be stingey
with stories that have her.
And Katie got me to thinking about alternate Goldies done by artists other
than Rosa, and how much I'd like to get those stories. 6_6
I would like to know if I'm the only one that would like to see some stories
containing John Rockerduck.
I'd just like to collect everyone's two cents (I'll be rich by no time,
bwahahahaha!).

As a Scandinavian, I have been reading Kari Korhonen for years already, and I
can't say anything but: Good choices, Madame.
Second to Barks, Romano Scarpa must be my all-time favourite Disney comics
creator. But looking at the "modern ones" (as we all know, Scarpa's been active
for fifty years), I must say that Kari Korhonen, Gorm Transgaard and Don Rosa
are my favourites (no ranking). Some may react that I've picked two Nordic guys
on that list, but hey, that's my taste.
But... that was not the question, was it? No... Who do I want to see more of?
An excellent question. Let's see if I'm able to give you an excellent answer.
Ah, yes. I want to see more of Luiz Podavin (hey, it's 3.30 am here, I'm too
lazy to check whether I've spelled it correctly or not).
And I wouldn't mind a good source of other Brazilian creators as well, but I
don't know any names.
I guess my problem is that I'm Scandinavian, so that all the great creators you
really, really want to have more of, I already have almost weekly access to.
So, although I must agree on you that e.g. Korhonen is an excellent creator, I
don't really want more of him than I already get. :-)
> I'm hoping for some good European stories to come into English script, and I
> mean good, not just some stupid story to take up page space. *growls and

Darn. So us people writing stupid stories specially designed to take up page
space have no chance with the American market?
> Also, what _characters_ would you *really* want stories of? I'm starting a

I've always missed... what's their names again?... I'm not sure, but I think
one of these men has the catchy name Inspector Creeper. I only know them as
Inspekt?r Kr?kke and Betjent Bollemo. The inspector and policeman always doing
dirty tricks to get Chief O'Hara fired so that Creeper can take his job. Am I
wrong if saying that these two men are not listed in INDUCKS, by the way?
And, naturally... I want to see more Doc Finkelstein and Shrimp.
Oh, and Super Goof!
Enough about mice. Speaking ducks, I want to see more of Scrooge's brother
Gedeone and cousin Douglas. Especially Gedeone.
I also miss Moby Duck... but I guess he went to Vegas with Ludwig and
Launchpad? (sigh)

I just wanted to put my two cents in, and second the praise for Kari
Korhonen! I thoroughly enjoyed "Sons of the Moon." It was something
different, and I like it very much. I love the art, but I especially like
the characterization of Louie. Korhonen really gives the little duck
charisma and personality. I think the dialogue is quite well done--very
funny in spots! I love the whole "He calls his henchman "goons"?" aside!
Did Korhonen write the English script himself?
Kari Korhonen really hits a happy medium in the story that I like. Many
duck stories completely throw out the fact that the nephews are children.
They're top notch kids, but they are still kids after all. While Korhonen
shows how intelligent and resourceful the boys are, he still has them
fighting as kids actually do. I like that a great deal. I think the
nephews can easily become exemplars in some stories and lose a great deal of
characterization.
Anyway that's my two cents!

I will second the cry for more Scarpa and more Rota! I was tickled to see
the recent Scarpa/Fallberg story in Uncle Scrooge, but I look forward to
seeing more tales written by Scarpa as well. Scarpa is an incredible artist
(probably one of the best), but I think it's his writing that qualifies him
for "master" status.
As for characters, I still stand by Ludwig and Launchpad! I guess my main
desire would be more effort to link the animated and comic worlds. While
Bubba, Webby, and Gene/Genie from DuckTales aren't exactly my favorite
ducks, I have always thought that it would be funny for a writer to address
that Scrooge has (or had) three small children living under his roof besides
his blood kin.
And I'm really digging Fethry's recent appearances in the Gemstone comics.
I was only vaguely aware of the character before, but now I'm anxious to see
more! His dialogue and expressions are hilarious.

(probably one of the best), but I think it's his writing that qualifies him
for "master" status.
As for characters, I still stand by Ludwig and Launchpad! I guess my main
desire would be more effort to link the animated and comic worlds. While
Bubba, Webby, and Gene/Genie from DuckTales aren't exactly my favorite
ducks, I have always thought that it would be funny for a writer to address
that Scrooge has (or had) three small children living under his roof besides
his blood kin.
And I'm really digging Fethry's recent appearances in the Gemstone comics.
I was only vaguely aware of the character before, but now I'm anxious to see
more! His dialogue and expressions are hilarious.

For Madame Jennifer inantaz: Speaking of stories in which Huey,Dewey and Louie
had different personalities; Gorm Transgaard wrote and storyboarded one in the
early 1990s (I believe it was printed in the Scandinavian countries in 1992 or
1993), in which Louie "had a crush" on a girl in his school class. His two
brothers made fun of him, at first. They were clearly on VERY DIFFERENT
tracks. It was a very good story. I forget the final artist, and which issue
it was in. I'll search in INDUCKS for the reference.

I have a running joke with an online friend who helps me edit
and proofread my stories. "Children are not props!" It's an
easy mistake to forget that children are in a scene to do
something other than just stand there and look cute. LOL! So I
always watch out for that in my writing. If children are in the
scene, they're going to react to things and have influence on
the action just like another other person would. I've always
admired the treatment of Huey, Dewey and Louie in the comics
because most of the time they *aren't* treated like "props." In
the Barks adventures the three nephews are just as much a part
of the expedition as the adult ducks. :)

From what I've seen on the Internet recently, I like Marco
Rota's style. I'd like to see more from him. Scarpa, too,
especially Brigitta and/or Paparetta Ye-Ye stories. I'm always
interested in female characters.

Hey, I found four pennies on the floor at the mall the other

I'll share! Maybe... ;)

I know nothing about Douglas, and as far as I know the "Secrets"
story in the last Gladstone issue is the only story with
Scrooge's half-brother that I've read. I'd be interested to
know more about the character, since my gut-reaction as a
Barks/Rosa fan is to ignore his existance, but yet I find myself
interested in spite of myself. (Sort of like how I try my
darndest not to like Brigitta stories because she's competition
for Goldie, yet enjoy them anyway.) ;)

Fecchi's bad style
Message 179 -

Hi all!
Please forgive me for the a little negative sounding title of this message.
Hopefully you will understand my point after reading this mail. I am
referring to the story D 2002-137 "Avalons duggdr?pe" which is drawn by a
person (most probably an Italian) named Fecchi. Seen isolated this person's
drawings are OK, but the way they are arranged on each page IMO make stories
drawn by this person look awful in any Disney-magazine. This is because the
panels are not arranged properly as in most Disney comics. In stead the
panels seems to be randomly arranged and sometimes with parts of one panel
covering another panel ? just like in modern super-hero comics. Maybe this
person thinks that using such a modern style is cool, well I don't think so
at all. Still most stories published in the "Donald Pocket" books look
normal, and I hope they will look so in the future to. If this IMO lousy
Fecchi-style ever becomes the normal look of the stories in the "Donald
Pocket" books Egmont will loose me as a reader of those books, that's for
sure!
Sigvald

That's an entire different brother, my dear. :-) Scrooge has a whole bunch of
them, you know... at least those two. While Rumpus is a Van Horn-character,
Gedeone is a Scarpa-character...

Why not, Sigvald? Naturally, this is a question of taste. Personally, I love
this style, and hope to see more of it. I like it when the artist experiments
with what's "normal" and stretch the boundaries. But then again, it would have
to be a question of taste. But I really like it this way - and, it's not really
a new thing. I seem to remember seeing this in Disney comics before as well.
Personally, I think this style fits very good in with the adventurous genre of
the story.
But hey, taste is taste. But Sigvald, I didn't catch WHY you don't like this
style?
