Image received! (I'll look for the cover in the net) Thank you (and Cathy!)
very much!
Just sorry to see that the USA National Geographic gave only 1 page to Carl
Barks, while the Italian edition gave 2 pages to him (and immodestly me),
and the National Geographic France published an article of 8 pages for
Herg?
(Tintin). I hoped for something better in his homeland, but, you know,
"nemo
profeta in patria"...

I'm not so sure this article really spoils Scrooge's claim to fame, though. I
mean, doesn't he claim to be "The Richest DUCK in the World"? Hence, he's still
number ONE in that regard, right?
The real mystery is still "who is the SECOND richest duck?" Is it Glomgold or
Rockerduck? Both have made this claim.
Thanks,

Hey, what if they have almost the same amount, then they would pass by each
other all the time (and thus having an internal fight about who's the
second richest and who's the third richest duck).
By the way: The Italian Rockerduck must be the most amazing business man
I've ever seen. He's almost as rich as Scrooge - and he _stays_ almost as
rich as Scrooge. Still, he's a spendthrift of dimensions! (at least
compared to Scrooge) I find that pretty impressive, as that must mean he
makes a whole lot more money than Scrooge does...

Harry,

Norway?let's see, that's in Connecticut, right? And Finland's an
amusement park in northern Arkansas, which, if I recollect, is a suburb
of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They grow the world's largest beagles there, and
there's this vast field of geysers called Mount Rushmore that Disney
recently purchased to turn into a water attraction at EuroDisney (the
capitol of Turkistan on alternate Tuesdays).

Dear Mr. Rosa,
Is there any chance of you undertaking another Goldie and Scrooge tale
as your next story or has that idea been placed on the backburner for a
while? Do you have another one in mind instead?
Sincerely,
Anthony

Well, neither is Scrooge...
The implied concept here, I guess involuntarily but rather
realistically, is that you don't make THAT kind of money
by being honest... :-)

Aaa, we don't worry about that stuff over here.
I told you about the time I was getting my mail from the mailbox (about 1/3
mile from my house) and an old neighbor was out working in his nearby garden
(his house was some distance away in t'other direction); he spied an ANDERS
AND issue that was in my mail and he asked me what language that was in. I
said "Danish". He said, "Oh? What country is that from?". I said
"Uuhhh...... Well, Denmark." He nodded and said, "Aahhh. Germany!"
But I'll bring it closer to home for you: last weekend I went to the post
office to mail some autographed comics to a fan in Amsterdam. The clerk was
punching computer buttons trying to determine the overseas rate without
success, and she said, "The Netherlands........ that's in Sweden, right?"
I just rolled my eyes and said, "whooo knooows!"

You might also be interested in this informative news

July Fourth in Duckburg (1976)
Message 119 -

In Carl Barks' painting "July Fourth in Duckburg" (1976) (Code: CB 0IL
119) he has included caricatures of some real-life people of the comic
fandom in USA. This is in fact Barks' only Disney painting with real
persons instead of those animal-faced characters.
There are seven persons (including a child) to the left and six persons to
the right in the painting, a total of thirteen persons.
My guess is that the tall guy in the cowboy hat to the left is Bruce
Hamilton. I am sure we also will find Robert Overstreet, Mike Barrier and
Malcolm Willits here too, without having any clue whom they are in the
painting.
Here are a couple of links to the painting:

Can anyone please help to identify these persons!?
