If I remember correctly this was just a few minutes short and the sound
was rather fogged. It probably originated in a tape recording which was
intended as a basis for a transcription.

I am not sure who holds the copyright for this record. But if someone
knows if it is O.K. to share it as an mpeg I could try to make one
(never did before, so there is no guaranteee I will succeed.)

I think it's legal almost anywhere else too, but to distribute it, that's
totally different case. If you put it on the net, it's illegal.
But still.... It would be nice to hear that recording. :-)

Hello, Daniel - these phrases are not missing in the Norwegian translation. I
just didn't think of asking for them, as what I _really_ needed were the quotes
from Sharky himself.

Although, I was just about to ask for these as well - so thank you very much,
Daniel.

Olaf is right. I meant 'dates of the stories in which
Scrooge found those trophies'.

Assuming that "Genghis Khan", "Xanadu" and "Crusader
Kings" all take place in 1956, "A Letter from Home" can't
take place before 1957, because "Crusader Kings" takes
place in December (1956?) and January (1957?).

Note that I only started this timeline reasoning in trying
to fix a date for Ludwig and Matilda's marriage. For me,
'between 1957 and 1961' is close enough, but this theory
needn't necessarily be a valid one and one could still
argue for earlier dates. Not that there's very much point
in trying to fix a date for their marriage in the first
place.

Or let's suppose Ludwig was already a friend or personal
advisor to Scrooge in 1952 [like Gyro] and that Scrooge
introduced them to each other after "A Letter from Home".
[I don't think I like this theory, because Ludwig didn't
arrive in Duckburg before 1961 and certainly couldn't have
been a *regular* personal advisor to Scrooge before that.]

That's going to be tough, Mats. I think one needs a lot of
patience and persistence to complete such a difficult
task. Oh wait... you're the one who's working on that
*awesome* Money Bin model, isn't it? I guess that's
allright, then. ;)

Some ideas and tips:

"The Son of the Sun" takes place after "The Treasury of
Croesus" because Scrooge's trophies in "Sun" include some
coins from Croesus' treasury.

There's a date on the newspaper at the end of "The Sharpie
of the Culebra Cut". The 'framestory' for "Culebra" takes
place after "Back to the Klondike" because Donald teases
Scrooge about Goldie.

You need to 'stretch' the dates for the first appearances
of Magica and Flintheart, because both turn up in "A
Little Something Special" which is supposed to take place
in 1952.

"Gyro's 1st Invention" takes place after "Statuesque
Spendthrifts" and "A Christmas for Shacktown" and before
Gyro's first appearance. Don Rosa wrote us that this is
not 'in tune' with the 'original date' for "Statues", so
you'll need to figure that out.

I think that even if it's possible to place each story
before or after another without meeting any incongruities,
you will have a hard time by trying to assign dates to
each story, because the nephews hardly grow any older, so
all stories take place within 5-10 years or so. My
solution would be to ignore this and work with the dates
of publication of Barks' stories.

And honestly, even though my mails may suggest otherwise,
I think this whole timeline thing shouldn't be taken very
seriously. It may work to connect and arrange about seven
stories, but I'm afraid it won't work for the whole canon.

I mean... er, well, I feel I've said too much already.

Greetings,

Apparently, Mickey was "created" November 18, 1928.
Has this been discussed on the list? I made a brief
check but couldn't see this topic raised. There's
something on this in "breakfast television" tomorrow
morning (main Norwegian channel), and someone I know
is already quite nervous about the prospect of being
interviewed there. "The influence of Mickey Mouse on
modern society and civilisation has been (cough cough)
tremendous ...".

When was Mickey's first appearance in a comic book?

So that's what it was! I thought it might be Scrooge's huge
inflatable rubber coin from "Uncle Scrooge the Lemonade
King" or one of those huge stone coins from that Strobl story
about the huge stone coins.
