It has been brought to my attention that there were two stories with the code JZ616. This is the one titled "Experiment 626!", whic was re-coded KJZ 616a in INDUCKS.
Also, for this reprinting, the story was retitled "The Origin of Stitch!"

As far as I know, Vacation was supposed to be part of the supporting
cast, along with Fuller Brushbill and Quacky McFowl (or whatever their
names were). Very quickly, however, the Duck Tales creators found these
characters weren't really needed -- and pushed them to one side. You can
still find appearances from Vacation and co. here and there in the
episodes, though.

Don't trust British Disney comics for the canonicity of (almost)
anything. That's why Egmont calls Miss Quackfaster "Miss Typefast".

Thanks, Rich, but David Gerstein found a drawing of him somewhere.
Vacation Van Honk is having his triumphant return drawn even as we
speak. The world will never be the same after this comes out. (OK, I may
be exaggerating slightly...)

Where does either one of us make the (strange) statement that having
Fethry and Whitewater as brothers is not "acceptable"? You make us sound
like über-fanboys. Please don't put words in other posters' mouths.
As for the "I don't think somebody has met very many brothers" line...
The "somebody" (a.k.a. Lars Jensen) has indeed met a few brothers over
the years, even some twins. Some of them looked alike, others didn't.
That's hardly relevant, though: In this particular case, we're talking
about fiction. And in fiction with a visual component (comics, movies,
TV), casting is usually made with an eye on physical similarities. In
most cases, when a pair of siblings are cast for a movie, the casting
agent will look for actors that can pull off a convincing sibling act.
Unless we're talking about a movie such as "Twins", Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito won't be cast as brothers. Not because
the casting agent hasn't seen a lot of real-life brothers, but because
we're talking about fiction. In an already-out-there setting, where it's
difficult enough making the audience believe that guy up on the screen
is *not*, say, Sylvester Stallone and is *actually* a cop from a
parallel universe ruled by evil reptiles, why stretch people's
suspension of disbelief by having his brother played by Woody Allen?
If we take a look at your own creation, Scrooge's sister Matilda McDuck,
it looks to me like you have taken the "Donald/Scrooge design" (except
for the eyes) and based the look of Matilda on this. Why did you do
this, rather than have her be a "dogface" or a humanized pig? I'm
guessing it's because you (consciously or subconsciously) wanted Matilda
to look like she could be Scrooge's sister.
In the case of Fethry and Whitewater, the two have different hair,
different eyes, different beaks, different bodies, different feet,
different speech patterns, different body language and different
personalities. In my opinion, there's absolutely no reason why anybody
would "cast" these two as brothers, other than the fact they have the
same last name. So why stretch people's suspension of disbelief?
> If Fethry's last name is Duck and he's Donald's cousin,

Except for your Duck Family Tree, Whitewater has only ever appeared in
*one* place: The story "Log Jockey" (WDC 267). Let me quote from the
beginning of that tale, where Donald and HDL are entering a forest:

So Whitewater is not an actual cousin of Donald's -- only a distant
relative. Which, of course, means that there's no reason why he would be
the brother of Fethry. Other than their common last name, that is.

Judging by the fact that Whitewater isn't actually Donald's cousin, I
suspect so, too.

I think that often when whole areas (mostly backgrounds), which might
even include the Ducks, are coloured in a uniform shade, it is done in
order not to call too much attention to that part of the drawing,
probably since something else is happening in that panel that really
should be the centre of attention. I don't know if the exact case of
"World Wide Witch" can be related to this, though.
However, I do notice that when Gemstone does this, the counterpart print
in Scandinavia *does* often colour such areas non-uniformly, and most of
the times, I must admit that I like the Gemstone colouring better.

Oh, I agree that the colouring of the Bone covers is marvellous, and I'd
very much like to have such colouring applied to Disney covers. But I
think it might be too much if whole stories were coloured this way. I'm
afraid it might take away the attention from the story, but perhaps this
is just because I've always seen Disney comics coloured the "flat" way.
From earlier in your mail:
> But most of the Gemstone coloring has been flat expanses of color, like

> if that's what you're going for, but, well...
Actually, what I see is a hydrid of those flat areas and the many shades
of the Bone cover. Just take a look at the shading of the sky and other
(mainly) backgrounds of the first pages of "Fools of the Trade" (also
Uncle Scrooge 320). One might have chosen to use shading a little more
than is the case, though -- eg for the characters in focus. Perhaps
something like on the cover of US 320.
But I see the same thing in Danish issues; shading used primarily for
backgrounds and large, otherwise uniformly coloured areas in the
stories, and shading used to a higher degree on covers (but not to the
extent of the Bone cover example at all).
Notice that the Bone comic itself is uncoloured, so I think it's a
little hard to say whether the colouring of the cover would really have
been too much if applied to the story, too. Are there any comics in the
USA (or other countries) with that level of colouring used throughout
the stories?
What I don't like about US 320 (now, we're at it), although this
probably doesn't qualify as colouring, is the image quality of the
reprint of The Madball Pitcher. All the edges look woollen and blurry,
as if an old print was just scanned in and used in the issue.

Scrooge's past
Message 309 -
2004-01-30 at 15:20:36
Dear friends
When i was younger - about 9 years ago I made my database of my duck-comic
books.
Whenever I registered a comic where parts of Scrooges life was shown, i
would stop and read again. I had always been looking forward to these
stories - where we saw Scrooges past in Scotland, klondike, or stories
taking him from kid to grown-up. Stories made by people who just took one
fact about Scrooge's past and made a story of it. In 1992 when Rosas Life
of Scrooge started to come I had already been buying the weekly every week
for a couple of years. But during the period when Don's masterpeice was
published I got myself a subscription (and it still runs - on the 11th
year :-) - I love Don's Life of scrooge chapters, but I do also love
others stories with little bits of scrooge's past.
Inh the newest weekly SPOILER... Gorm transgaard tells us a story (drawn
by Wanda fattino) about Scrooges old friend big Olaf - they met eachother
in Alaska (Snagville - what was that in the original I wonder...) and the
story tells us about their competion. Actually one of the sled dogs in the
story is called Barko - like the one in Barks' story. You can tell that
Gorm remembers and respects the tradition.
Now for a bit of translation talk. We have big traditions of translating
here - the famous Sonja Rindom is the danish answer to the legendary Erika
Fuchs (whose dialogue some german donaldists love more than Barks
original, if I'm not mistaken). She translated from 1949 (the start) to
sometimes in the 80'es and thus also made the translation of Barks?' The
Old castles secret" - she gave Scrooges forefathers names in this story.
Keep that in mind.
In 1991 Don's little masterpiece King Scrooge came out here - Mrs. Rindom
had retired at the time, and we had another translator (I don't wiosh to
know her name - i don't even know if it's a she) - she did not do her job,
as some donaldists would have wanted her to do. So she gave the McDuck
forefathers other names... And so what, some would say - they were funny
names... Yeah, well. All got better when we got the translator we have now
- when he translated the Lo$ he was sure to use the names Rindom had
originally given the charecters.
So that's settled.
Yesterday i felt like reading a few pocket books - this combination of
italian and danish stories has always been very popular here. A story
coded I 2442-5 is in issue 276 of our pocket. I haven't even read the
story yet, because I thought of writing this mail - and I'm sure the story
is good as it is, even in danish. But the first point of criticism isn't
so big - danish colorists just never could make the McDuck tartan right
(only the first time it was seen) since then they've been making it in
many other colors...
The pocket books has another translator... so suddenly one of the
forfathers is named McTightwad - the Whiskervilles are suddenly the
McScreaming... Rannoch Morr (was that first used by Barks or Rosa) is
suddenly Rappan ('Quacking Duck') Moor. The story looks to be a nice one,
but it isn't even consistent in itself (in danish translation) the
McScreamings later become the McWhiskers...
Well, sour grapes - I guess I should just shut up and be happy? For one
thing I'll read the story.
Hilsen/Yours

coded I 2442-5 is in issue 276 of our pocket. I haven't even read the
story yet, because I thought of writing this mail - and I'm sure the story
is good as it is, even in danish. But the first point of criticism isn't
so big - danish colorists just never could make the McDuck tartan right
(only the first time it was seen) since then they've been making it in
many other colors...
The pocket books has another translator... so suddenly one of the
forfathers is named McTightwad - the Whiskervilles are suddenly the
McScreaming... Rannoch Morr (was that first used by Barks or Rosa) is
suddenly Rappan ('Quacking Duck') Moor. The story looks to be a nice one,
but it isn't even consistent in itself (in danish translation) the
McScreamings later become the McWhiskers...
Well, sour grapes - I guess I should just shut up and be happy? For one
thing I'll read the story.

I hope you could answer this pair of questions (I'm a living
questionnaire!):
a) Is it possible that Donald lived in Mouseton (or in the same city of MM,
considering the recent thread about this) in the Taliaferro strips, at least
before the arrival of HDL?
b) Are there other stories, excluded "The Wise Little Hen", set in the
Barnyard Village?
Thanks!

I know this has been discussed ad nuaseum before so I don't want stir a hornet's nest but didn't Gotfredson once indicate that Mickey lived in 'Hometown'? Mouseton is such an obvious fabrication. The old UK Mickey Mouse annuals of the 1960s placed Mickey & the gang in Disneyville.

She translated from 1949, the first year of Anders And & Co. in Denmark,
yes, but according to herself, she did not translate the first few issues.

In fact, there were two translators between Rindom and the current Niels
S?ndergaard. The translators are these:
1949-? - 1949-? Unknown
1949-? - 1981 Sonja Rindom (SRi) (according to SRi, she did *not*
translate the first few issues of AA!)
1982 - 1988 J?rgen Sonnergaard (JSo)
1989 - 1992-23 Yanne Reich (YRe)
1992-24 - Niels S?ndergaard (NSo)
The exact change-overs are not known, except between YRe and NSo. The
years apply for the monthly Anders And Extra, too.
> The pocket books has another translator...
And she has been on the job for quite a long time. Here are the issue
numbers of "Jumbobog":
JB 1-20 Unknown
JB 20- Birgit Trenckner (BTr)
She started in 1975 and has since then translated all pocket products in
Denmark.
All this info I have from an answer to a mail I once sent to Egmont, but
if you are able to add to this, feel free to do so.

>Yeah. She [Miss Swansdown-Swoonsudden] has a terrible name, though...
>Hmm...
Well, Donald spoilt his chances with her anyway... Curiously, if I can trust
my memory, she later reappeared in this story (the flirting journalist in
the description):
http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/story.php/0/D++4865//_
>I know pretty much nothing about Reginella. She's a queen, right?
Yes, a queen from outer space. I only know her debut story, where she lives
underwater. According to INDUCKS, she appeared in five proper adventures
between 1972 and 1994, all written by Cimino and drawn (bar the last one) by
Cavazzano. I'm sure, others know more about her.
Oh, wait:

Here's some data for you (and anyone else interested):
Pictures: http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/ART/Reginella.gif
Profile: http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/reginella.html
By comparison to Donald, she stands only about 2/3 his height.
Thanks,
