150 Mb (megabits) ? 20 MB (megabytes), which doesn't sound to be too
much IMHO.

Don obviously is yet to receive Sigvald's message about quitting the ML.
Still, I must agree with Don. Its a shame it had to come to this, but
Sigvald was continuously insulting people and even nations. I'm
personally glad if I don't have to read such messages ever again in this
list. I was at one point thinking about quitting myself, because of the
useless arguing he was creating, then I used message filtering to simply
delete all messages by him for a while... after a while I decided to
give his his messages an another chance. No good.
Still, I wish Sigvald could have changed his ways, but alas ... it was
impossible for him. Therefore, I respect his decision to leave - the
only reasonable thing to do, since he can't restrain himself. And like
Don said, he maintains an excellent web-site. Too bad he can't work in a
public forum. After saying that: Goodbye Sigvald, I wish the best for
you in the future. Hopefully this change will finally create a more
welcoming and friendly atmosphere - the one I've heard about in the

The older members of this ML will recall that I once found the first ten
issues of KALLE ANKA & CO. in the "miscellaneous" (not "margarine", but
close) box of a comic dealer at a convention. They were $10 each, not
because anyone in America wanted them, but simply because they were such old
MINT FILE COPIES -- they had belonged to a Gutenberghus employee who moved
to America about 40 years ago and had given the issues to a babysitter just
for fun. That kid sold them for pennies to this comic dealer. I bought them
just to rescue them from oblivion. During one trip to Sweden, I loaned them
to a toy/children's literature museum in Stockholm where (I assume!) they
are still on display. (Somebody go check!) I don't know if I'll sell them or
eventually donate them to some archive, but all I knew was that they
belonged back home in Sweden, not in Texas!

Last weekend, as temperatures dipped down to the coldest they've been this season, I made some hot chocolate and read my latest batch of Gemstone Disney books which had arrived the day before.
I must say that I'm really enjoying the newer stories, and I thought it might be a nice diversion from the negativity of late to discuss some of these. I particularly enjoyed the Byron Erickson story in MM & Friends 258.

Well, here goes, "My life and times", in chunks of about 1KB each.
MY BIRTH
On a nice summer day in 1973, with a remarkably bright star rising up
in the otherwise dark sky, a lovely intelligent baby boy was born.
And only a few hours later, church bells were chiming all over the
world, to mark this day. August 5. (Note that the Dutch publisher had
not yet published all 52 Donald Duck Weeklies of 1973, at that moment.
Just to keep at least a bit on-topic.) And the boy was given the name
Dani?l, because it was believed Esther would have been more a name for
a girl.
To be continued...

Nice start, but you need historical reference points in your story, IMHO--
such as "about one year before another nice summer evening when a kind

(Please note that in this post, "American" is meaning "person from USA",
not "person from the continent America".)
I've bought and read all "Uncle $crooge" and "Walt Disney's Comics and Series"
from Gemstone so far, and I've noticed one thing...
The stories are mostly (with the exception of the good old reprints) stories
from European publishers (Egmont, Picsou, Oberon). Still, I get the impression
that 95% of these stories are either written or drawn by an American.
To use November as an example...
U$ contained these stories:
-- "The coin" by Don Rosa, Louisville, Kentucky.
-- "Junk funk" by Dave Rawson and Alfarez. I don't know on this one - I seem to
remember hearing that Dave Rawson is American, but I can't say for sure.
-- "Billions in the hole" by Carl Barks. Yes, he's American.
-- "Beagle bots" by Pat McGreal/Carol McGreal/Nunez. The McGreals are
Californian.
-- "Travails" by William Van Horn - American (although he's living abroad).
WDCS contained these stories:
-- "Double trouble" by William Van Horn. American.
-- "The great birthday robbery" by Byron Erickson/Ferioli. Erickson is another
abroad-living American.
-- "Can you imagine... Melvin?" by John Lustig/Rodriques. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but John Lustig is American, isn't he?
-- "The health nut" by Dick Kinney/Al Hubbard - both healthy Americans from the
1960th century.
-- "Man vs. machine" by Carl Barks - American.
-- "Only a nose" by Jack Sutter/Marsal. I don't know any of those.
So, out of those eleven stories, *eight* I know for sure are written by
Americans. Could be more, though, depending on the nationality of John Lustig,
Dave Rawson and Jack Sutter. I think that's pretty much.
Nothing wrong with that, I just wonder if that's a coincidence or not. Are all
the best Disney comics creators in the world American, do Gemstone pick stories
by American writers and artists on purpose or is it just a coincidence?
I'm not saying that ANY of these options are wrong. I don't think so either. I
just wonder.

1960th century.
-- "Man vs. machine" by Carl Barks - American.
-- "Only a nose" by Jack Sutter/Marsal. I don't know any of those.
So, out of those eleven stories, *eight* I know for sure are written by
Americans. Could be more, though, depending on the nationality of John Lustig,
Dave Rawson and Jack Sutter. I think that's pretty much.
Nothing wrong with that, I just wonder if that's a coincidence or not. Are all
the best Disney comics creators in the world American, do Gemstone pick stories
by American writers and artists on purpose or is it just a coincidence?
I'm not saying that ANY of these options are wrong. I don't think so either. I
just wonder.
