Hello Dario-
I don't have a copy of the original comic, but it definitely sounds like
something that would have been written by an American. I can tell you that
Corvallis is a small city in the American state of Oregon, Kokomo is a small
city in the state of Indiana, and Alabammy is an old patois pronunciation
for the state of Alabama.
The author was presumably looking for funny place names, that in 2 out of
3 cases rhymed with the made-up funny person's names. I don't think
putting these funny names and addresses on the papers was meant to be
anything related to the plot of the story - just something extra the artist
threw in just for fun. Some artists are very good at doing that, and I
particularly enjoy these little bits of bonus humor.

You are quite right Daniel - I see your point of course! I will promise I
will keep it this way in the future, but now Sigvald writes he will leave
DCML anyway!

But with one exception - which I include in this mail - simply because he
deserves it;

Thank you very much for an informative answer about King George III
Sigvald!

THIS is the side of Sigvald I would have liked to seen here on DCML...!

Period!

Best,

Hi all!

Some of these are actually quite good. Or funny.

Hi,
In some Barks stories, i read the expression i stated as subject above. As a
non-american, i probably put people who use "brother" expression into
stereotypes of Afro-American people. (No discrimnation intended, if i said
wrongly, it's because my english is not good enough that i might've
constructed my sentences poorly).

What i would like to ask is if this "Brother" expression was quite common
among most Americans or just the afro-american ones?

Hopefully the answer will put a light on my sterotype on the slang. (got it
from watching too many holywood movies)

I happen to remember that this expression (or perhaps slang) was also used
in a Taliaferro-drawn comic strip. it's a guy who's honking his car behind
DD's car and said something like "brother, im nervous and i gotta blow on
something" then DD stick a knife into his tire and said "Blow on that for a
while"

If this question might pose a potential discrimination issue, i apologize
and trust me when i say that that is not my intention. This's just my
curiosity.

Keep On Honking,
Arie Fachrisal who's fascinated by many of the oldies slangs.

As David Gerstein wrote in a DCML posting about a month ago, it's not a
question of lack of "attempt" that prevents Egmont writers from using
this character. They're not allowed to.

As for why the Brazilians, the Dutch or the Italians don't use him, I
wouldn't know.

Thanks for letting us know.

I see, though, that Amazon.co.uk no longer lists Silly Symphonies on
their website. Would you happen to know why? (And if it's a long answer,
we should probably take this to DCML-talk.)
