LOL!!! Very clever.
It's sad and embarassing how abysmally horrible most Americans'
geography skills are. I pride myself in being able to name just
about any country in the world from just a blank map, as well as
all 50 of the United States and their capitals, and the Canadian
provinces. But I'm very much in the minority. I have my 7th
grade social studies teacher to thank for most of that. He was
very picky and strict, and boy, did I learn my stuff in his
class. God rest his soul.

Timuktu / Tombouctou ?
Message 125 -

We all know that poor Donald, alone or with newphews,
is being forced away from home, for longer or shorter
time periods, when circumstances make it unbearable
for him to stay in Duckburg. And where does he go?
To Timbuktu [or Tombouctoo, or Timuctoo], in Mali,
of all places.
Would someone have a partial or complete reference list
to Barks stories in which Donald has made this necessary
retreat? -- There is also one story, I believe, which ends
with Donald moving in the direction of a sign saying something
like "Timbuktu: x miles" (where I have forgotten "x").
Have other authors followed this up, by the way? Has
Don Rosa ever forced his characters on to this particular
long and winding road?
The official Mali spelling now seems to be "Tombouctou".
Google gives Timbuktu: 219,000 hits, Timbuctoo: 7,900 hits,
Tombouctou: 24,400 hits. See also
http://www.manntaylor.com/timbuctoo.html
for some information about this mysterious city and its history.

Dutch writers Wilma van den Bosch and Pascal Oost recently made a series of stories that show us what happens when Donald actually arrives in Timbuctoo ("Timboektoe"). Very educational stories about the culture in Northern Africa.
These stories have, as far as I know, only been reprinted in Brazil.

Oh yes. That was a good idea. They were reprinted in Super Picsou G?ant last
year.
I will try and (remember to) find it.

An interesting fact about this painting is that when it was finished, matted, and framed Carl discovered a major mistake that needed to be repainted. I will offer a nice prize to the first person who privately e-mails me best describing that mistake.I will try to post the answer in one week.

Don, other than you and maybe a few other Kentuckians,
geography is not a strong suit for many Americans.
But don't you lump all of us into those two experiences!
Most people I know can tell you much more about Europe and world countries

Thanks for the news! Are there original Egyptian-created Disney comics out
there? Will this new publisher publish original stories? What are Disney
comics like in Egypt?
On a slightly different matter, I am currently trying to assemble a list of
countries and publishers that create and publish original Disney comic
stories (as opposed to reprints from other nations). I would appreciate any
help anyone could offer me.

I can think of OTHER Italian tycoons who din't obey the law...
The problems start when one of them becomes the Prime Minister! :-(

Duckburg : Barks versus Italia
Message 134 -
2004-01-17 at 20:18:24
it should be interesting to examine the differences between the landscape of the town of Duckburg in the Barks stories and the one in the italian stories; it seems to me that in the italian stories of Scrooge and Donald the town of Duckburg is more mediterranean than the city of ducks imagined by Barks, which seems to have more skyscrapers and big buildings and thus being more adequate to the american big cities.
