A fantastic work in deed! IMO this model is likely to be more interesting
and made with more respect, love and dedication than anything shown in the
various Disneyland parks around the world. The only thing that makes me a
little bit sorry about this is that Unca Carl Barks isn't alive to see this
true masterpiece. My warmest greetings, and my most sincerely respect herby
goes to Mats!

"magical speed" = nonsense
Message 2 -
2003-11-01 at 00:17:40
Hi all!
In a new huge book "Andebys Skurker" (="The bad guys of Duckburg") which is
recently published here in Norway, there is a story (I/T 1858 D) named
"Hekseangrepet som uteble" where Magica is shown flying from Vesuvio (Italy)
to Duckburg (Calisota on the western coast of North-America) ? in page 19
(of the book), panel 1. It's stated that she's flying with "magical speed"
and that after a few minutes she passes Scrooge's plane which is heading the
opposite direction. It's also stated that this "magical speed" is equal to
the half of the half of the half of the speed of the light (= 1/8 of the
speed of the light). In panel 3 in the same page it's shown that one of the
pilots in Scrooge's plane identifies Magica as a flying witch as she passes
the plane. Obviously either the writer of this story (Bruno Concina) or the
Norwegian translator has made a great big goof here.
As you all probably know the speed of the light = 300.000 kilometers per
second. 1/8 of this is thus 37500 kilometers per second. With that speed one
will travel around the entire globe (=40076 kilometers) in just about 1,07
seconds. Even if Magica could go so fast by using magic to protect her from
the friction she would meet in the atmosphere at that enormous speed she
would use far less than a second to go from Vesuvio to Duckburg, not minutes
as stated in that story - and further more it would be impossible for any
pilot to identify an object passing his plane in such a speed. My conclusion
is thus that this "magical speed" sequence in that story is just completely
nonsense that seems to indicate lack of respect for the readers knowledge
about physics, mathematics, etc. Some people here may say that not many
readers will notice these matters, so why bother? Well, let me tell you this
? I am *not* a physician nor a mathematician, but an historian who in his
studies focused on the 1700th century. When I, with my background, was able
to notice this mess instantly when I saw it, you can bet that well qualified
people - in the mentioned sciences - like Geir Hasnes, Nils Lid Hjort and
Don Rosa will too. So maybe we can now agree that civil engineering is not
such a bad background for a Disney comics creator after all.

The German version is:

Not a word by word translation but it at least makes some sense. ;-)

A goof about $crooge's habits
Message 4 -
2003-11-01 at 00:44:13
Hi all!
Even though many things can vary from story to story, even the look of
$crooge's Money Bin, some facts are still absolute. Such obvious absolute
facts is that Donald is living together with *three* nephews, the first
money earned by $crooge was *a coin*.
Another such absolute fact is IMO that $crooge is very fond of drinking
nutmeg-tea. This thus means that there most probably is a goof in panel 2 on
page 110 in the new huge book "Andebys Skurker" (="The bad guys of
Duckburg") which is recently published here in Norway. In the actual panel
$crooge is served bark-coffe instead of nutmeg-tea. The responsible for this
possible goof is either the writer of this story - Nino Russo, or the
Norwegian translator.

"magical speed" = nonsense, and a little bark coffee
Message 5 -

Sigvald wrote an interesting post on why Bruno Concina shows lack of respect
for the readers' knowledge. And... Well, here's a few opinions.
1. Something could have held up Magica, slowing her down on the way. Like...
She crashed into a pole half-way there. Or... she stopped to buy a hot-dog.
(Did anyone see the Simpsons episode where Homer drives in a terribly high
speed to deliver his tax return in time, and stops to buy a hot dog ten seconds
before? Hilarious!) But since such a hot-dog-break would be of no interest to
the reader, they didn't bother to draw it.
2. Since she could fly so fast, Magica decided to take a few extra turns just
for fun - like, 120 trips around the earth. Again, something most readers
wouldn't be interested in seeing.
3. Magica flew so fast that she missed Duckburg. I mean... She would have got
there in less than half a second, and it would be terribly complicated to
calculate the exact direction she would have to fly in, so she needed a few
tries before getting safe to Duckburg. Plus, when flying so fast, you will need
a pretty long time to slow down to zero again.
4. The person stating that "magical speed" is equal to the half of the half of
the half of the speed of light, could be wrong. Yeah, that happens. Not all
comics characters know what they're talking about all the time.
5. The receipt and guarantee for the broomstick said that it could fly so fast,
but that wasn't true. Perhaps the guarantee went out the day before she decided
to fly. Magica wouldn't notice that, as she still would be flying VERY fast
(Italy-Calisota in five minutes? I call that fast!), thus she would still state
she was flying in magical speed, although that was wrong.
6. The pilot seeing Magica, didn't necessarily see her with his bare eyes, but
through Scrooge's new Gyrovision(TM). Even I wouldn't have any problems
recognizing her in one of those.
No, seriously: I think you take this with a little too much gravity, Sigvald.
This speed is simply meant to be a funny thing, which - as you said - most
readers won't notice. Or they will notice, but just see it as a funny fact. I
mean... Half of half of half of half of half of half of half of half of half of
half of half of half of the speed of light doesn't sound that impressive any
more.
If we should think that way, you can also say that Carl Barks had no respect
for the readers' knowledge of geography - every sane reader will know that
there IS no place called "Calisota". Carl Barks had no respect for the readers'
knowledge of geometry - there's no such thing as a cubic acre. Still, I've
never heard you say anything negative about Carl Barks, Sigvald. Why is that?
Nah, let's just say that Magica stopped for a hot dog on the way there. That
sounds so much better than saying that the author shows lack of respect for the
readers. Don't you think?
Oh, and speaking of coffee:

Sigvald, when Barks once wrote that Scrooge loves nutmeg-tea, he did NOT write
that Scrooge NEVER drinks anything but nutmeg-tea. So, Scrooge is still free to
drink e.g. coffee. To be completely honest with you, Sigvald, _I_ just wrote a
story where Scrooge is served coffee. And I even mention somewhere else in the
story that Scrooge loves nutmeg-tea! YES, he loves nutmeg-tea. But he also
drinks other things. Like, bark-coffee, which is a hilarious pun, if you ask
me. Making coffee out of tree bark... only a miser like Scrooge could do
something like that.
Now, if Nino Russo had made Scrooge say in a frame that he HATES nutmeg-tea
from the bottom of his heart... THAT would be a goof. Drinking something else
isn't.

Hi all!
Take a look at this:
http://www.rogavis.no/nyheter/article783114.ece
A local newspaper here in the Stavanger area recently had a nice article
about two patients that met each other during an X-ray examination at a
local hospital. They were born at the exactly same date but with exactly 100
years in difference. The old one was born on June 29th 1903, while the young
one was born on June 29th 2003.
Why I mention this here?
Because June 29th is also Don Rosa's birthday!

I don't see the problem. My favorite drink is root beer, but I
drink other things from time to time. I'm sure Scrooge drinks
plenty of different things besides nutmeg tea.
Even if the story you're talking about said outright that
Scrooge *hates* nutmeg tea, that would only contradict the
Barks/Rosa continuum. Scrooge's preference in beverages is
hardly as critical a story-fact as his #1 dime or the number of
Donald's nephews. ;)
Is it possible the writers or translators for this story were
making a pun by having him drink "bark coffee," being a Barks
character?

Don Rosa included both these items in scenes of Scrooge's

That's right! I forgot about those Barks shorts. Some of my

I also like the Yukon one where Scrooge is urging his dog sled
across the tundra, yelling "Mush! Mush!" Then he gets to the

DCML and spam

Hi all!
Lately, an increasing amount of spam has reached my duckburg.dk mailbox. I
think this is because I use this mail-account when addressing DCML and then
those mails are made available on-line, not only for serious people, but
also indeed for spam-terrorists. I have however a suggestion that at least
can make it easier to detect spam-mails from DCML-mails. The idea is that
the following prefix: "dcml: " should be automatically added in front of the
title of all DCML-mails before they reach our mailboxes. This mail would
then have reached your mailboxes with the following title "dcml: DCML and
spam" and you would instantly knew that you had received a serious mail and
not a spam-mail. Is this possible?

I don't know about Netscape & other e-mail softwares (though I assume
Netscape's has a similar feature), but you can configure Outlook Express to
sort your mail, without having to add such a prefix.
All DCML messages are forewarded through dcml at stp.ling.uu.se ; copy this
address.
Create a mailbox directory called DCML (for instance) (right-click on the
root InBox and Create New Folder).
In Outlook Express' menu, choose Tools / Message Rules / Mail, then in the
box, click on Create a New Rule; the rules are very easy to define.
Check the "When the line To" & "When the line CC" boxes, click on them in
the bottom box, paste the DCML address ( dcml at stp.ling.uu.se ), don't forget
to OK it, and switch the command to "OR" (so that it reads "When the line
... or When the line ...").
In the second box, check the "Move to folder..." box, then at the bottom,
click on it to select the DCMl folder.
Now, all the DCML mail will automatically moved in the appropriate folder!
:)
The remaining mail will be either from individual DCML members writing to
you directly (create a new "DCML members" Folder & Rule, using the
"Contains" option with the e-mail address), or spam.
I have "DCML" & "Disney Friends" rules, plus several others, which all work
fine, so that all the mail is sorted, I immediately see what "kind" of mail
I have, and the e-mails that remain unsorted in the root InBox are so few
that the spam-deleting (rather, "blocking") is very easy.

I don't know about Netscape & other e-mail softwares (though I assume
Netscape's has a similar feature), but you can configure Outlook Express to
sort your mail, without having to add such a prefix.
All DCML messages are forewarded through dcml at stp.ling.uu.se ; copy this
address.
Create a mailbox directory called DCML (for instance) (right-click on the
root InBox and Create New Folder).
In Outlook Express' menu, choose Tools / Message Rules / Mail, then in the
box, click on Create a New Rule; the rules are very easy to define.
Check the "When the line To" & "When the line CC" boxes, click on them in
the bottom box, paste the DCML address ( dcml at stp.ling.uu.se ), don't forget
to OK it, and switch the command to "OR" (so that it reads "When the line
... or When the line ...").
In the second box, check the "Move to folder..." box, then at the bottom,
click on it to select the DCMl folder.
Now, all the DCML mail will automatically moved in the appropriate folder!
:)
The remaining mail will be either from individual DCML members writing to
you directly (create a new "DCML members" Folder & Rule, using the
"Contains" option with the e-mail address), or spam.

As far as I know, the online email addresses of DCML subscribers have all
been altered, by replacing the "@" for "at". This has been done to avoid
automoatic detection of email addresses, to avoid abuse by spammers.
See for example:

I know that many people on the list collect Donald, Scrooge, etc.
items. Very rarely does Disney produce Scrooge McDuck items. The
last significant items were made back in 1997 for Scrooge's 50th
"birthday", "anniversary", or whatever we are currently calling that!
:) The following link connects you to a new Scrooge snowglobe Disney
is selling:

I just thought some people might be interested in it. I ordered mine
yesterday! :)
