I don't think I saw this question answered here...
Since you're writing "production", my guess is that this is not about a comic story.
A cartoon, maybe?
Did Barks work on a TLP/BW cartoon? Inducks doesn't list any.

This was the one and only mention of "Calisota" on DUCKTALES. It was especially surprising given that it appeared in a second-season episode, and by that time, the "Barks adaptation" aspect of the series was in the process of being phased out ("The Land of Trala La" and "The Unbreakable Bin" were the only two full-fledged Barks adaptations in season two, as I recall).

Walt Kelly Audio Interview/John Hench Dies
Message 64 -

Hi all!
The Comics Journal has two mp3 clips lasting a total of about an hour of a
1969 interview with Walt Kelly. Haven't listened to them myself yet, but I'm
sure they're interesting.
http://www.tcj.com/listen/listen.html
BTW, I heard this morning that John Hench had died of heart failure. He
started working for Disney in 1939 and worked his way through the ranks as an
artist. He worked on the short film Destino that wasn't completed until recently
and is nominated for an Academy Award.
Hench was the lead developer of the hydraulic giant squid in '20,000
Leagues Under The Sea' (a great looking film even today!) in 1954 which won an
Academy Award for Best Special Effects.
After that film, he moved to WED Enterprises designing attractions for
Disneyland, Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland and Euro Disney. He also designed the
Olympic Torch for the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California from which
all future torch designs were based. John was the 'official' portrait artist
for Mickey Mouse. He worked everyday at Disney right up until his death on
February 5th at the age of 95. Sad to see the old guard slowly pass away. At
least he was able to live an active life to the end.

Uncle Scrooge DDA #4 Story?

2004-02-06 at 23:26:40
Hi everyone.
While reading DDA #4, I noticed in the credits that the last story "Seafood
Blues" by John Lustig/William Van Horn, is credited as an Uncle Scrooge story.
US is never in, nor is he even mentioned in the story at all. I guess you know
you're a comic star when you get credit for a story you don't even appear in.

Yes, he did. In 'The Three Little Wolves', released on 18 April 1936.
In April 29, 1987 notes, Barks has recalled that he did in-betweens of
"a scene of the Big Bad Wolf singing a parody of 'Schnitzlebank' while
basting the piggies. Norm Ferguson and Nick George were the animators."
In November 13, 1987 notes, Barks explained that 'Schnitzlebank' "is a
German drinking song that was popular in the beer balls after the repeal
of prohibition. Disney's songwriters wrote a parody on the words, and
that is what the Big Bad Wolf sings as he turns the piggies on a spit."
This information is taken from Thomas Andrae article 'The Animation Years',
published in the Carl Barks Library (07B-295).

That reminds me of either the story of Donald taking away the boys' toy ray
guns that they got from eating cereal, that turned out to be real ray guns. Or
the story of Donald and his hypnotizing gun. He'd point it at everyone and
think it was supposed to hypnotize them.

Coincidentally the only two episodes of Duck Tales that I consistently miss.
I FINALLY saw "The Unbreakable Bin" late last night and I'm watching avidly
so I dont miss "The Land Of Tralla La". ^_^
I always did prefer the Fenton episodes to the Bubba Duck episodes (I've
always had this thing for Gizmoduck ^_^) but I wont get started on THAT
tangent again. ;)
I've always loved the use of Magica De Spell in DT, she comes across as
operating on a much grander scale than the simpler Sorcery Shop which in a
way works just as well. Question though - was Glomgold ever used in the
Second Season outside of the Gizmoduck origin episodes? (and i cant really
remember if he was used there to be honest)

ROB: Webfoot County sources
Message 71 -

Rob, you ask for source for "Webfoot County"? It comes from our very
own DCML files:
http://stp.ling.uu.se/~starback/dcml/chars/egmont-ddu.html
DUCKBURG AREA (State of Calisota, Webfoot County)
http://stp.ling.uu.se/~starback/dcml/chars/egmont-mmu.html
MOUSETON AREA (State of Calisota, Webfoot County)
I know many value Carl Barks (and Don Rosa) as the "end-all" for all things
DUCK, but the Duck Universe, and even moreso, ALL THINGS DISNEY, are a
collabrative effort that has been years, decades in the making. I think
our good friend David Gerstein has done an outstanding job compiling and
summarizing the data as made available through comics, and provides a
wonderous resource for anyone seeking a look into what has come before,
whether that be Carl Barks, Floyd Gottfredson or many others who have
taken pen and pencil to the task of chronicling the adventures of our
beloved characters.

Ice Cream and Webfoot County
Message 73 -

Voor Harry F. & Michiel P.:
In the "olden days", predating Carl Barks' youth, vanilla was THE flavour of
ice cream. There was not the myriad of flavours as is available nowadays;
leading to long, worrisome decisions when one is at the ice cream shoppe or
parlour, as to which of the scads of flavours to choose. When Barks was young
chocolate and a few others had been added. But, the old timers, remembering
having only the basic vanilla in "the good old days"; stuck to THAT as being
representative of the times that were simple, and uncomplicated.
Therefore, "I'll take vanilla" became a phrase which was popular to represent
the "simple" choice,... avoiding complication.
For Rich B.:
I feel that as Barks "invented" Duckburg, and Calisota, we should go by his
choice of Duck County as the county of Duckburg's location. I researched ALL
ofCarl Barks' Disney Duck comic book panels, cover art, unpublished material,
before drawing maps of Duckburg, its outer environs, Duck County and Calisota.
In that research, I found a few references to Duck County, as the location of
Duckburg. In the Gyro Gearloose story in which Gyro's Helper chases the crows
away, he is shown leaving his own county of residence (Duck County), and
entering, the adjacent, Goose Egg County. I faintly remember a reference to a
Webfoot County, but don't remember if Barks intended THAT county to be the
county in which the City of Duckburg is to be located. Can you please tell cite
the reference (story and page containing Barks' reference). And please
indicate how it is certain that Duckburg is inside that county. If so, I
believe Barks has then produced another contradiction. I can't remember the
other one or two panels in which Barks refers to Duck County, but I am almost
sure that one of them indicates clearly that Duckburg DOES, INDEED lie within
the boundaries of Duck County, or I would not have placed it so on my maps. If
there are only two specific references, one each for Duck and Webfoot Counties,
then I believe we should allow "evidence" from outside (non-Barks) sources,
such as other Disney comic book artists, and the TV series "DuckTales". If
there are more Barks references for one, rather than the other, I think we
should go by the designation with the most occurrances.
