*Completely* off-topic answer:
I, too, find that other languages, including English, appear strange to me!
More seriously, other languages don't appear strange, they appear *different*,
and that's only because they are!
As for English spelling, it does, indeed, look weird to an outsider. Why on
earth should "through" be pronounced "thru", e.g.? And if that's the correct
way to pronounce the word, why is "trough" pronounced "trof", instead of
"tru"? And why is the word that is pronounced "tru" spelled "true"? It is only
familiarity that makes native speakers unaware of this strangeness. (You are
probably aware of the remark, attributed to Bernard Shaw, that "fish" should
be spelled "ghoti", combining the "f" from lauGH, the "o" from wOmen, and the
"sh" from ambiTIon!)
Lest you think I am biased against English, I'd better comment on my own
language, which would be all Greek to you. Things there are better in some
cases, and worse in others. One the one hand, there are words that are
pronounced differently from how they are written, but these differences are
not as pronounced as in in English, as they are merely phonetic variations. If
you read exactly what you see, you'll be speaking with a foreign accent, not
incomprehensibly. I mean, it's one thing to pronounce "Kyriaki" (the Greek
name for "Sunday"), as ki-ri-a-ki, instead of kir-ya-ki, which is the correct
way, slurring the r, i, and a together, and another thing to pronounce, say,
"knight" as k-nig-h-t! On the other hand, we have umpteen ways of writing the
"i" sound, and two ways of writing the "e" sound, so that it is well-nigh
impossible to spell modern Greek correctly!
I once read that a very consistent language, in terms of spelling vs.
pronunciation, is Hungarian, where, if you can speak the language and know the
alphabet, you can also write correctly. I'm sure that such a language would
appear bizarre to English speakers!
An interesting thing to note is that the difficulty of learning several
languages that belong to the same family, decreases each time you learn a new
language, beacause of the many similarities among these languages. For
example, I had to struggle with English, which was my first foreign language
and I had to learn a new vocabulary and a new syntax. Learning French was
comparatively easier, as many words were similar or obviously related to their
English equivalents, and the syntax is similar to that of modern Greek. When I
got hold of a copy of Don's "War of the Wendigo" in Italian, back when the
story had not been widely published, I was surprised to discover that with a
little bit of effort, and armed only with my knowlege of English, French, and
a smattering of Latin that I had learned at school, I could read and enjoy the
story. In a way, I can now read a fourth foreign language, even though I've
had no tutoring in it!
If my comment about having to learn a different syntax sounds strange, just
listen to how non-native speakers of your language speak it. (Better still,
read some of their writings, so that you are not distracted by the foreign
accent.) You may notice that they occasionally say a few strange things, even
though they may be using the right words in the right context. This is because
they're using the syntax of their own language, instead of that of yours. I've
probably made a few such mistakes in this message, e.g., so it should be
pretty obvious to native English speakers that I am not one, myself!

But on the other hand, "ghoti" should not be pronounced at all,
combining the "gh" from "thouGH", "o" from "jeOpardy", "t" from
"casTle", and "i" from "ordInary"...

There are some other languages where the spelling was settled in or
after the 19th century, with the result that the spelling is very
regular. Like Finnish and Turkish.
The problem with English is that it is spelled like it was pronounced
hundreds of years ago (and with Greek that's even longer...).

Yep, I have the same with Italian. And also Danish and Swedish are not
so hard to read when you know Dutch or German.
I also think reading Disney comics is a fun way to learn a foreign

Congrats on your marvellous article in the Danish fanzine (R)appet. I
cannot help admitting that this without comparison is the most
interesting article I've read sofar about Disney comics.
It's entitled "A. And, Vognmagergade 11" (aka D. Duck, the address of
Egmont in Copenhagen). The article is not for everyone I am sure, but it
gives a very interesting and in-depth picture of how Egmont started and
developed their own production of Disney comic stories from late 60s
uptil around now.
I guess the article will be of general interest as well, so I was
wondering if you have an English version to put online somehow?

As a teacher of foreign students I can tell you there are many
"Inconsistencies" in English.
Many words with more than one meaning or pronounced differently, is just the
beginning of problems for learning English
Example:
"Read" are you doing it or already done? (Reeeed or red)
Context of the sentence helps us, but some foreign speakers are reading a
word at time.
Many words from other languages or unknown sources and idioms we use that
seem commonplace.
"Yankee" Actually from the Revolutionary War
I recall a translation of "Hold the Fort" (basically: keep things safe) for a
European Disney Comic-it was translated into:
Keep the Castle
I know Mr. Rosa tries very hard to be careful with dialogue.
Things to be translated need to make sense.
I think most foreign languages are a little more "Pure"
English is a melting pot of many languages.

I have just learned that Gladstone's owner and publisher, Bruce
Hamilton, passed away at around 3:00 a.m. today, following a serious
illness. For Sue and myself, who knew and worked with Bruce for many
years, this is both sad and sobering.
For the rest of the folks out there, his passing should be marked by
the recollection that Bruce Hamilton was the prime motivator of the
original black and white Carl Barks Library, the long-running and
well-regarded series of lithographs of the paintings of Carl Barks,
and Gladstone Comics, among other notable Disney-related publishing
projects. While others made their contributions, Bruce was there from
beginning to end. If it had not been for Bruce, I doubt many of us

All my deepest sympathies to Mr Hamilton's family and friends.
Bruce Hamilton did a lot for Disney comics: publishing the comics
anthologies in a most serious, professional way, not "simply" making them
available (which, in itself, is already an achievement), but doing it in a
splendid way.
More importantly, it was not merely about glossy paper and sumptuous colors;
publishing, in the comics and albums, essays (literary anaylses, in fact) by
Donald Ault, Geoffrey Blum and others, was a bold and enlightening move,
which helped highlight the quality of such stories and the art of comic
writing.
We all owe Mr Hamilton (and those who worked with him, such as Russ Cochran
& the Gladstone team) many many thanks.

To list:
I am really sorry to hear about Bruce Hamilton's passing. It was his
company that got me started on Duck comics and introduced me to the wonderful
world of Don Rosa, Carl Barks, William VanHorn, and plenty more. I'm glad he
was there for me through his books during my childhood. He always did his
absolute best to keep a business afloat for the joy of his fellow American readers
and fans like himself. He cared a lot about the material, and the production
values showed throughout all that Gladstone published and did. I wish him well
and eternal peace.
On another note, I just read Don Rosa's "Letter from Home." And it
only took more than 2 years since the idea was first conceived! Besides the
brilliant production values that Gemstone gave the story and its related cover (in
the grand tradition of Bruce Hamilton), the tale itself was a comic
masterpiece in originality. This is one of the most adult, emotional Scrooge tales that
I have ever read and certainly one of Rosa's most mature. And that is saying
quite a lot since I believe every single Rosa piece thus far (even the short 10
pagers) exhibits many mature characteristics with some of the following: epic
framing, great humor, chemistry between the characters, finely detailed
eye-popping art, and engrossing action/adventure elements.
"Letter from Home" carries the dramatic parts to interesting and
uncharted heights. I agree with Rosa himself that the tale lacks the amount of
humor and action that has characterized his previous works. However, that is not a
drawback at all, because Rosa applies other literary plot devices to fill in
those lacking ingredients. The Matilda scenes in particular were revealing and
realistic. I only hope Rosa chooses to use her again in some not yet
conceived of story by making her a part of the action, humor, and adventure that will
undoubtedly reappear in his future endeavors. For the time being though, the
melodramatic, emotional stuff suited the reconciliation, healing storyline
quite well and makes "Letter from Home" another Rosa benchmark in the way to write
and draw a Duck comic.
On the negative side, the aspect I absolutely did miss in this story
was the one thing Rosa said he could not yet talk about: Hortense McDuck. I
wish she was there too, because I've always enjoyed the interplay between her,
Scrooge, and Matilda in the "Life of Scrooge" chapters. I do understand why Rosa
could not fit her in, as things were already complicated enough, and then you
would have Donald to deal with as well. Nevertheless, Rosa said in his
commentary that it might be too hard and sad to explain why she was gone from
Duckburg all these years. I sort of disagree on that point. What if (in my humble
opinion), Hortense only left Duckburg after Donald resumed family relations and
working associations with his long lost uncle, as seen in Barks' "Christmas on
Bear Mountain" and Rosa's "Chapter 12." In my view, that would give Hortense
great incentive to leave since she would not want to have anything to do with
her own son since he became "buddy-buddy" with her "miserable" brother. Also,
this explains why we haven't seen Hortense in Duckburg at all before now,
since hardly any stories, except for those "Life of Scrooge" ones by Don Rosa,
have really taken place before the 1947 encounter. Hence, a reconciliation
between mother and son as well as sister and brother would be in order one day. That
being said though, I see how throwing Donald into the mix would really shift
the focus from Scrooge and drag down an already complex plot with the addition
of Hortense, her baggage, any maybe something to do with Donald's father (if
he is not dead by this time). Yet, I sincerely hope that Rosa finds a good way
to tell a Hortense McDuck story and tie up another loose end. In the
meantime, now that Matilda is back, maybe we can see her again sometime soon. (I think
I must have a laundry list of a 1,000 things I want Don Rosa to tell us
before he retires! He must get insanely tired of hearing all my requests and
ideas.)
Currently though, I'm looking forward with unbelievably enormous
anticipation to Rosa's long-awaited Chapter 8B. I cannot wait to see the further
unexplored dynamics of the Goldie/Scrooge tragic relationship and how and why a
strong attraction first developed between them and lasted for all these years.
Also, I'm very interested to see what characters will come to rescue her from that
criminal Duck (and if we might know any of them already)! Another 2 years
more, but I pray much sooner!!!
Sincerely,
Anthony

Bruce Hamilton was a pretty interesting guy. The people he knew, the careers
he had and the things he did in his life covered a pretty broad spectrum
that reached well beyond comic books and Carl Barks. Over the 25+ years I knew
him, I always enjoyed listening to his tales of adventure, intrigue, humor and
politics in his world of collectors, dealers, and the publishing business.
His stories rolled out of him in his distinct rumbling voice that always made
me feel like I was sitting across from someone who was a combination of Mark
Twain, David Livingstone and Ted Turner. Always blunt, honest and opinionated,
usually accurate and definitely hilarious, any meal with him was a pleasure.
Thanks for everything, Bruce.

I had no time to backup them before my computer goes BUM!
Some time ago Kenny, from Finland, wrote asking for a sketch drawing. I did
the drawing, but I lost his e-mail AND adress and I can't even remember his
surname! O_o
So, if you, Kenny, are reading this, please, wrote me again! And also
everybody else that didn't receive an anwer from me...!
Thanks,
Fernando!
