No, it's "Nationella Ankistf?rbundet i Sverige (kvack)". At some point
in the past it meant "Nationella Ankistf?rbundet i Stockholm (kvack)".
And according to the first issue of NAFS(k)uriren, "kvack" is an
abbreviation for "Kunniga Vetenskapsm?n inom Ankismens Centralkommitt?".

Which would mean something along the lines of "clever scientists within the
central commitee of the donaldism" . Right?

Gladstone II versus Gemstone Mickey question + OT recommendation
Message 109 -
2006-03-24 at 05:35:40
Perhaps someone could help me with this question. In most of the Mickey stories published by Gladstone II by such artists as Noel Van Horn, Ferioli, etc., Mickey usually wore some sort of shirt and slacks. Since Gemstone has started publishing though, most of the times even when drawn by the same artists, he usually is shirtless and only has on his red shorts, in other words, his more classic look. Can anyone tell me why this change happened? Were some artists told by Egmont to start drawing Mickey with a more traditional look? Or during Gladstone II were images of Mickey redrawn so that he had a shirt and slacks on? I personally like the more classic look myself, but mostly am just curious for the reason for this change.
Now for an off topic recommendation. Until the fall of 2004 I had never read a Little Lulu story. I had heard of and seen the character, but never read a story with her. I went into my local comic book store and saw the first volume of Little Lulu reprints by Dark Horse comics. Since the price was reasonable and I liked the art, on a lark I bought a copy. Since then I have become a big fan of Little Lulu comics and think many people that enjoy Disney comics would also enjoy Lulu comics as well. I think Dark Horse has about 7 or 8 volumes out now. From what I can tell, some people really miss seeing these stories in color (the Dark Horse collections are in black and white). However, since I have never read the stories in color, it is not like I can miss what I have never seen. I actually enjoy seeing the art in BW though and greatly enjoy how it looks. I can't explain just why, but these Little Lulu stories have the same type of charm and quality that Barks' stories have. I think most people that enjoy Barks' classic 10 pagers would really enjoy reading some of these classic Lulu tales. Just my two cents! :)

Publication date for The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion!!!
Message 110 -
2006-03-24 at 09:55:59
According to Amazon.com, The Life of and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion will be published by Gemstone on September 6th. Also, according to them it will include, "You asked for them, and here they are... the pre-chapters, the post-chapters and the in-between chapters of Don Rosa's Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck! Included in this companion are the stories "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark," "The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff," "The Prisoner of White Agony Creek," "Hearts of the Yukon" and "Sharpie of the Culebra Cut." Finally rounding out the collection are two slightly unusual takes on Scrooge's life: "Of Ducks and Dimes and Destinies" and "Dream of a Lifetime" in which the Beagle Boys invade Scrooge's subconscious mind (!) and wreak havoc during dream-versions of the various "Life of Scrooge" chapters."
I'm looking forward to this date in September already!!!

Branca interviews?
Message 112 -

Hello
I've never seen any interviews with the late, great Duck artist Daniel
Branca.
And I'd really like to hear his own views about his Disney work (and Disney
comics in general).
Is there any list member with access to a Branca interview (in English or
Spanish)?
Thanks!
Kind regards
Niels

Many, many thanks to Per for his time and energy to
keep the DCML up and running for all these years.
Since you're not really gone, I guess I can say that
I'm sure you are sharing the responsibilites with very
capable hands.
I have no need to circle the release date for Life and
Times Companion (September 6th) in my calendar as that
will be my daughter Kathryn's 4th birthday. And, for
the nascent Duck fan that she is, I think that is a
wholly appropriate date!
Take care,

It's not only Don Rosa that puts mickey-heads here and there apparently:
http://www.spaceweather.com features a story on the new big red storm
that has appeared there (aside from the old humongous one):
quote:
""Things are getting weird around Jupiter's new red spot
<http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/02mar_redjr.htm>--Red Jr.,"
says astrophotographer Christopher Go. "A ring inside the spot is now
more prominent, and there are 2 big white ovals just above it." Red Jr.,
in short, is looking a bit like Mickey Mouse:"

It seems that this month' archives have a little problem (many messages
without author entitled "no subject", in which we can read cut parts of several
messages which is ununderstandable for someone only using these archives...)
I hope everyone will have a nice springtime, and is in good conditions wo we

I faintly remember reading a few stories a loooooong time ago, but i really (re)discovered Little Lulu more recently (still a couple of uears ago now), through a great series of animated shorts. I haven't seen that many, but whenever I chanced upon one, I watched it through: I loved it.
The series (and, I am sure, the comics) is extremely refreshing; simple characters, simple situations, but above all, wholesome fun; it's just kind and gentle, without getting silly.

There was a Little Lulu Library, much like the E.C. and Carl Barks Library sets, "with extensive editorial and biographical data", as Gemstone's leaflet puts it-- on the one I have, sets 3, 4 and 6 were still available, for $130 each; it doesn't say whether they're in black & white, like the other Library collections (I suppose it is so), or in color.
Maybe I should order one, even though the collection would be incomplete. How many sets were there?
I'll have to check out those Dark Horse volumes. Are there any essays, as in the Hamitlon/Cochran sets?
Thanks for calling my (DCML members') attention on this, Dean!
