Hi all!
In The Duckburg Times #14 article "Just Another Duck Man" writer Jim Korkis
mentions taliaferro interview from 1968. Article says it hasn't never been
printed. That was 1982. Is it still unprinted?
Sure would like to read that one.

Well thank you for calling me a freak. I tend to look at
products as creations of talented individuals, not as creations of
faceless corporations. When I see the name of one or more of the
creators of something I enjoyed, I am pleased, and look for more of
their work. With respect to movies, several recent ones have actually
even made an effort to make the closing credits fun to look at (Shrek 2,
Harry Potter 3).

> Have many people have really cared to even look for them?
Like a number of people on this list, I have books full of
Barks' earlier work because this is someone whose work I enjoy, Disney
or not, and because it gives me greater insight into their creative
development as an artist. If people don't commonly read them, perhaps
it's because they're not mass marketed. I doubt the average comics
reader even knows there are Barks non-Disney stories, and therefore they
don't look for them.

I have to agree with you on that one. Many modern books do at
least credit many of the contributing people, but some do not.

Heh. Sometimes at an American comics convention I'll be sitting drawing a
picture of the Yukon $crooge (back when I drew pics in America, pre-eBay),
and a middle-aged woman would walk up, one of the Disneyana-zombies (as
opposed to the Marvel-zombies people always mention) who is not even aware
there have ever been Disney comics, and she'll look at what I'm drawing and
say, "Oh! Isn't that so CUTE!". And I'll look up and smile and say, "Lady...
this Duck would take your arm off with a Bowie knife in a barroom brawl.
Cute he ain't."

I really like the way Don Rosa drew Jos? Carioca in his
first 3C story, at the bottom of the 27th page, when Jos?
is very sad, and with all the shading on his beak, making
it look real rounded. I felt sooo sorry for poor Jos?...
I also like his first scene, with the reflection in the
machete. I miss Jos?'s cigar, though.
And for really cute comics, you all ought to take a good
look at www.comics.nl/cutie/ because it's really very
good.

I know this is a little late, but hopefully you can still use my info. I
asked Egmont editor Stefan Printz-Påhlson about this. His reply (in my

As you probably know, "Gutenberghus" is Egmont's former name.

Question on Egmont Editors
Message 84 -
2004-06-17 at 15:52:06
This question is for those in the know. I'd like to try my chances at
submitting some pencil/ink samples to Egmont. From my research (on the
web) I've found Egmont Creative to be the head office, headquartered in
Denmark. I also know Egmont has offices in just about every country in
Europe. (with a few notable exceptions.) I'm not quite sure how the
command structure works out. But what I'm getting at, are Egmont
editors in countries outside of Denmark independent of Egmont Creative
or do the editors at Egmont Creative oversee production in other
countries?
This question just came to mind this morning, and I thought I may as
well ask then waste postage. From what I understand Peter Schlecht is
the Manager of Egmont Creative (I believe that's his title), although I
have no clue if he directly deals with submissions from new artists.
Maybe some one can resolve that question for me as well. :P I've tried
emailing Mr. Schlecht a few times requesting submission guidelines,
gaining no response.
None the less, I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Chris Hilbig

ROTFL!!! That completely cracked me up. I can just see the

Disney would censor it so that it would look like Scrooge was
just pointing angrily at someone. ;D

I agre. The way Jose looks (moustly the ayes) make me sad as well.
One more sad picture is Donald on page 2.
One more relly cute picture is Donald and Gladstone as kids in "The Sing"

Tanganyiki Yeekers -- related real life birds
Message 87 -
2004-06-18 at 12:11:48
Recently I visited someone, and heard some very loud, screeching birds
nearby. They were coming from 2 moderate size birds in a cage outside
a neighboring apartment. This was the worst bird noise I've heard in a
long time. Then I remembered hearing this noise before when I read
Barks' second Magica story, "The Unsafe Safe" (US38). The Tanganyiki
Yeekers in that story are much larger than the birds I saw in this cage,
and I didn't see any broken glass windows at their apartment. But I'm
sure these birds are closely related to Barks' Yeekers.

Hello,
today I have a special question to our french DCML members.
I am planning a trip to Paris (in order to visit the Blak & Mortimer exhibition). At that
occassion I want to have a look to French comic book stores looking for used comic
books, posters and all the things related to comics. first of all I want to look for all the
Piscou booklets with Don Rosa art.
Besides this I am looking for used magazines like corto maltese and posters, cards
etc.
It would be great if someone can give me some adresses where I can get these things
cheap.
Thx a lot

Scrooge gets news of his past
Message 90 -
2004-06-21 at 17:31:36
The past of Scrooge plays an important part in many american and italian Scrooge's stories, the unknow past, lived as a black hole, something unpredictable, which comes back in an unexpected way for haunting the present, often for the worse; this is such the case in stories like 'oncle picsou et le mur de la honte - paperino e la vecchia ricevuta - 1967; in 'Donald et le Tignouf' - Voodoo Hoodoo - 1949, an african sorcerer was seeking for revenge after a dark story of soils Scrooge had concluded in his young age; in 'Donald roi du cirque Konstanz' - paperino e il grande barunz - 1957, we find Scrooge at his craftiest behaviour, he doesn't hesitate to leave his associate while this one is chased by angry indians (we are very far from the peak of the character innocence of the Tralla La story, but, in general, as i said before in a previous comment, the Scrooge of Carl Barks is kinder than the italian Scrooge, and so, that leads to different stories with different plots due to a different -but not entirely different- characterization); we must note that in these italian stories the past of Scrooge has not often the same significance than in Carl Barks; in Barks for example in the 'Magic Hourglass', the quest for recovering the hourglass is a search for rebuilding the Scrooge's wealth due to the magic powers of the object, this is not a quest to 'exorcize' a shady past like in 'Barunz'.
Romano Scarpa's technique (2): In Scarpa too, a lot of stories find their explanation in the past of the protagonists (for Mickey : Topolino e la collona Chirikawa, Calidornia, in some proportion 'dimensione Delta' too (the picture of an early Mickey, reminiscent of the imaginary of Gottfredson, given by Mirandus to Atomiinus); for Scrooge, The flying Scottman - Donald et la l?gende de l'Ecossais volant - paperino e la leggenda dello Scozzese volante - 1957 where the 'double' of Scrooge is a really impressive ghost in this story, 'Les lentilles de Babylone' - paperino e le lentiecchie di Babilonia - 1960, where the most part of the story is a flashback.
