Well, here's information about the stories, so someone can add them to
INDUCKS if they'd like to. I'm only including information about the
comics stories, but almost every article (activity page, game, puzzle,
etc.) in the magazine has a similar "story code" beginning with PRE.

Sorry -- I just made up my own design. But when you ask me that, I feel
embarrassed that I did not do what my readers would expect, and spend time
to hunt down an exact and authentic model. It's just the sort of thing I'd
do and just the sort of thing I'd enjoy doing.

Yes, he is. But like in many Brazilian stories, the
progenitors of new characters aren't cited if
this isn't important for their stories. In Biquinho's
case, just knowing that he is Fethry's real nephew was
sufficient. Nobody knows who is his father, mother,
etc. and whether they are still alive or not.

Biquinho's premiere story (B 810124 "O Nascimento do Biquinho")
just shows us that when his egg was being delivered to
Fethry's house, carried by a stork, Biquinho (still inside the
egg) punched the stork's beak in the middle of the journey and them
fell in a distant jungle, being "adopted" by a porcupine
family after hatching. Later on FE and Gloria started
an expedition to search him and found him captured by an
unknown tribe.

All of this was told in B 810124 "O Nascimento do Biquinho"
(Biquinho's birthday"). B 850077 is a story where
Biquinho just tries to explain (with his creative
mind) what happened with him before he was rescued.

Contrary to other views, I am a great fan of daisy. Yes, of course in some stories her character is not rounded and she only exists to act as a foil for Donald to facilitate plot development.

However, this is not the whole story. I especially enjoy her character in Barks & Strobl Dear Diary stories. Yes, daisy is "self-centred, selfish bitch" some of the time, but this is what makes her so interesting.

Answer to prize question: The mistake that had to be corrected was that Carl spelled Duckburg wrong. It was originally painted "Ducburg" in error. I have a photo of the finished painting before the correction.

Are myklebust ... I will send you a 1940`s Donald poster for participating if you privately e-mail me your mailing address.Your server rejects my e- mail address.

The debate about whether Uncle Scrooge makes money legally has been
interesting, especially with Don Rosa's comments that "his" Uncle Scrooge
earns his wealth legally. I wonder if there is a division here on
attitudes towards wealth based on the European and American traditions. As
a general statement, the Europeans tend to take a more socialized view that
somehow gathering great wealth is bad, and therefore must have been done
illegally or at least immorally, and that great wealth must be
redistributed. Americans admire the Bill Gates/Andrew Carnegie/-types and
think, in general, that the individual should be allowed to become as rich
as he wants. I am reminded of the old story of the American and the
Frenchman in New York. They re standing on the street corner when a huge
limousine rolls by. The American says: "Some day I will own a car like
that!" But the Frenchman says: "Nobody should be allowed to own a car like
that!"

Class warfare based on envy tends to be a European phenomenon (think France
1789), although you can see it in America too of course, especially in
election years! So I wonder if Uncle Scrooge is in fact such an American
archetype that he could not have come from the pen and brush of a European.
