Rich:
"I can't remember where I read this, but recently I saw a quote from
someone, possibly from Brazil, stating that Brazilian Disney comics actually
created the concept of DISNEY BABIES and not the French. What is the
story?"
YES! They were created by Moacir Rodrigues, a incredible good brazilian
drawer! If you were impressed by the firsts Margarida's (Daisy) comic books
covers, it's because they were drew and inked by him. I'm not sure if Moacir
created the whole Disney Babies concept, since I was told one time that this
came from Daniel Diesendruck (son of Elcan Diesendruck, REDIBRA president).
Indeed Moacir sold the project DIRECTLY to Disney-Brazil (during that time
represented by REDIBRA) and the model-sheets went to France, where they were
developed by Marin and his writers who came out with this brilliant comic
book work (I presume some french friends can add more info on this)!
But this decision surelly were not received well by the directors of Editora
Abril (especially Mr. Igayara). During the 80's we're FULL of creativity and
new projects in development, and it was never clear why Disney didin't
confide on Abril to develop the characters on comics! : (

Wow! I have to say this is a wonderful idea!
I don't feel worthy of attending it myself (plus it sounds a little too
expensive for me), but I have a question:
Does anyone have photos of this valley? Sounds beautiful!
I found one already...

Sure they could. They clearly know Gyro and Grandma Duck well, though.
In fact, they know Grandma so well they know she has an electric car.
But, of course, Morty and Ferdie could have met Gyro and Grandma at some
earlier Mouse Family/Duck Family get-together.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Barksian & Co". Apart from the above
example, "Hound of the Moaning Hills" (JW #12) and "The Day the Mountain
Shook" (JW #13), I don't recall any Barks-written material using Mouse
characters alongside Duck characters, no. But other writers of the time
had no problem teaming them up. (Just think of Vic Lockman, for
instance.) And (some of) Barks' successors continue to this day to let
these characters meet each other. With good results, too, in my opinion.

I'm puzzled and not a little stumped... I searched high and low
in my covers' collection as well as in inducks, with no results.
No Scrooge playing fiddles or violins nowhere... I have him
playing a cash register (US 5), a flute (US 19), a dollar-shaped
big lyre (US 38), a... coinophone (US 119) and a... er...
piggybankophone :-) (US 197).
He's got a big grin in most if not all of those, but never
sits on piles of money bags, so I guess this cannot be a
case of Andy Herzfeld misremembering details... but it's still
a possibility :-)
My guess, however, is that it *might* have come from some
illustrated book, rather than a comic...
Cheers!

Sure, even in Italian stories it's quite normal a meeting; but here
"Topolinia" and "Paperopoli" are two distinct locations.

There is a good story, which is a sort of parody, where there is an interaction between Donald, the kids and Mickey Mouse which is called paperopoli liberata, published in 1967 in Topolino 598, drawn by Giovan Battista Carpi; this is true that the very good Gottfredson in his 30's stories tended to mix both the characters of Mickey and Donald in the same places and intrigues (house of the seven ghost and others stories); i can be wrong but i think that might be justified at this period because there wasn't an appropriate city and place for developping Donald's own world; i would like to know whether Gottfredson mixed the two characters one or two decades later with the same regularity due to the creations of the others characters around Donald by Barks and Taliaferro (and also by the italians artists), and the creation of Duckburg by Barks; i guess it was easier to use Donald in Mousetown at the beginning when he used to be isolated from a particular town or family than it has been the case later.

'Easter eggs' in certain stories
Message 43 -

Hello fellow Duck fans,
While re-reading my collection of Donald Duck Extra's, I stumbled upon
some very nice easter eggs in certain stories! I was wondering whether
anyone else has noted them?
Issue 11/97, D96089, page 24, frame 2:
in U$'s scrapbook is written 'donrosa at iglou.com' Very nice gag, Don!
Issue 4/98, D96203, page 18, frame 2:
"Man, wat zijn we een geweldig TEAM! We gaan naar kreli-olie zoeken op Altair 4!
Nebuliet zoeken in de kristalbergen op Kenodon! Zoiets heb je nog NOOIT meegemaakt!"
(translation: "Man, are we a great TEAM! We'll search for kreli-oil on Altair 4!
Search for Nebulite in the crystal mountains on Kenodon! You've NEVER seen anything like that!"
For some reason, 'Kenodon' rings a bell! :-) Does Don Rosa's original English text
also use that word, or was it changed by the Dutch translator/publisher?
Issue 10/98, D96116, page 1, frame 6:
around the bits and pieces lying on the floor in Gyro's workshop is a miniature of
a time travel machine I've seen before; don't know which story though.
Issue 13/98, D95081, page 10, frame 7: "...dus ik zeg tegen Willem van Hoorn, de ijsco-
koning, ik zeg, Willem ouwe jongen, DOE MIJ MAAR VANILLE! En bla bla bla..."
(translation: "so I say to Willem van Hoorn, the icecream king, I say, Willem old boy,
FETCH ME A VANILLA! And blah, blah, blah..."
Willem van Hoorn is (obviously) a 'dutchification' of William van Horn, the artist
of that story; and the reason he's an icecream king is that in Dutch, an 'ijshoorn'
is a 'snow-cone'.
Issue 1/99, D96264, page 1, frame 1:
Mickey and Minnie fly around in the airplane from 'Plane Crazy'
Perhaps it would be nice to add these easter eggs to the appropriate INDUCKS-file?
Best wishes,
Alexander Hajenius.

Mickey, you believe Morty and Ferdie must have met Gyro and Grandma at
some get-together, although Barks never showed this in a story. Why
can't you believe Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse live in the same city --
even though Barks never showed this in a story?!

The Danish weekly just ran a subseries written by Per Hedman and Pat &
Carol McGreal. A few years ago Andreas Pihl wrote a Donald/Mickey/Goofy
team-up for the pocket books. Other writers include Dave Rawson and
Byron Erickson. And that's only in Denmark -- I could find (recent and
not-so-recent) examples from Italy, Brazil and the US, too.
