Donald Duck cartoonist dies

His paintings were very popular and sold well
The man whose sketches brought the famous
Disney character Donald Duck first to comics
and then to the screen, has died in the United
States.

Cartoonist Carl Barks, who was 99, died of
leukaemia on Friday at his home in southern
Oregon.

He joined Walt Disney in
1935 and retired as a
cartoonist in 1966, but
continued to paint.
Some of his Disney
paintings fetched as
much as $200,000.

Mr Barks said in one of
his interviews that he
always identified with
Donald Duck.

"I always felt myself to be an unlucky person
like Donald, who is a victim of so many
circumstances."

"But there isn't a person in the United States
who couldn't identify with him. He is
everything, he is everybody; he makes the
same mistakes that we all make."

Farm boy

Carl Barks was born on a ranch in Merrill,
Oregon in 1901 and said of his upbringing that
he grew up with "well-armed cowboys".

He took a
correspondence course
in drawing and moved
to San Francisco at
the age of 17.

He failed to gain
employment as an
artist and after two
years took a job as a
farm worker and coach
builder in Sacramento
but continued to
indulge in his passion
for art.

He eventually got a job in Minneapolis as a
comic writer and illustrator for the Calgary
Eye-Opener.

He then went on to join Disney studios' art
department where he drew 35 cartoon
characters. He also wrote Donald Duck comic
strips at Disney until he left in 1942 to become
a chicken farmer.

I n 1943 he began drawing and writing comic
strips for Disney
comics. Mr Barks went
on to write 400 scripts
and draw 6,000 pages
and 200 covers.

It was in the 1940s
that Mr Barks gave the duck a personality
transplant.

"He was just a noisy, quarrelsome brat in the
movies. When I started doing the comics in
1943, I couldn't do enough stories with him like
that. So I changed Donald's character."

"I put him in a role where he had to act
intelligently and speak well enough to put his
thoughts across. He's a lot like a lot of us,
though, wanting to speak his mind."

Yahoo also lists one for the New York Times, but I seem to be having
trouble registering there so I can acces it. Any one already
registered? The url is:

--------------1C040F62A09FC39849D57526--

Ferioli's beautiful art. It makes me want to frame it and hang it on the
wall - but that would of course make a strange gap in the magazine.

Mickey and Goofy are in a country called Nibet, to see a monk called
Damai Lali fly. This monk is a young child, and he has the ability to
empty his mind of all thoughts - obviously the requirement for a flying
career. Mickey finds this difficult to do, while Goofy... well, you know.
He floats in the air, telling that he doesn't believe it's possible to
fly.
Then enters The Phantom Blot. And this is the real one, not that
handkerchief from the eighties. He kidnaps the young monk, because he
wants to learn how to fly. Our two friends follow him into the mountains,
and with the help of Goofy's flying and a spherical stone Mickey finds
in the ice, they manage to save the kid.

The story is pretty good, but at first I didn't quite like that stone
suddenly appearing. It seemed like a too easy way out of a story, just
like that Donald Duck story in the last issue... er... something I'm not
getting here? A third stone story the next week did indeed tell me there
was more to these stones.

Number five is an old one-pager (KF 07-15-51).

Story number six is a Junior Woodchuck story (D 98093, 6 pages), written
by Paul Halas and Jack Sutter, and drawn by Millet.

In this story the Woodchucks have a trip in the forest with their parents,
and in HDL's case, Donald Duck. As usual this Duck brags about his
abilities to survive in the forest, which attracts some angry looks from
the other parents.
In good accordance to his personality, Donald starts on a short cut,
and... gets lost. He hurts himself on a bush, and hurts himself more when
trying to heal it with a poisonous plant. It starts to snow, and it all
looks rather bad. Then, for some reason, a truck appears, and it is pulled
up from whereever it was by another truck.

I don't think I've ever seen a story being ended in a simpler way. Here
we have four Ducks, cold, angry, hungry and lost. Then, standing in deep
snow is suddenly a truck there, and they can just let themselves being
saved by being pulled up by another truck. Er... something missing here?
Will I soon see another truck mysteriously appearing in a story about
Mickey's nephews? (none so far...)

Number seven is about Mad Madam Mim (D 98072, 2 pages), written by
Per Hedman, and drawn by Millet. Hedman is writing a _lot_ of stories.
Sometimes I like them, but usually I think they are too simple. There's
got to be a few stories of that kind, I guess, since a great part of the
market is young children. But still, I didn't like that kind of stories
myself when being a bit younger than I am now.

In this story Mim has the noble intention of helping a rather miserable
actor imitate a gorilla by doing some magic through a closed door. But by,
accidentally, actually making him a gorilla, she scares the producer a
little too much.

Number eight is another old one-pager (KF 01-21-51)

Number ten is a story about Scrooge McDuck and Goldstein Glomgold
(D 98285, 12 pages), written by Paul Halas, and drawn by Colomer.

Usually Scrooge doesn't care much about aristocracy, but when Glomgold
suddenly becomes a baron, and starts to frequent in circles that are
closed to McDuck, it becomes a bit too difficult to swallow that he
doesn't have any titles himself. More so when he thinks about all the
money belonging in those circles.
Scrooge starts to hunt for a title for himself, but the only possibility
he finds is an ancestor who once lost his title. The lord who now owns
it, whom Scrooge visits, seems to be as careful with his money as McDuck
himself. But then it shows up that he actually doesn't have any. He does
have one thing though - a permission from some king to sell titles. And
he has sold one recently, to Glomgold.
This makes Scrooge happy, since he believes that the real aristocrats
then won't take Glomgold's title seriously. He goes to a party for the
aristocracy, dressed as a servant, to observe what happens. And he finds
that he's actually wrong. The aristocrats are very interested in Glomgold,
since he's the only one at the party (except for Scrooge) who has any
money. They all attack him with demands that he should pay all their
expences so the aristocracy can keep up the appearance - to Scrooge's
great joy.

I like this story. Halas draws up the lines for several possible plots,
and not until just before the ending do we see what really happens. And
Colomer has done an excellent job with the art.

Number eleven, another old one-pager (KF 12-25-60), makes a nice ending
to the issue.

Also with this issue was the first part of this year's Christmas calendar.

Hi,
I just received this and thought I should pass it on without comment:

Are you guys familiar with Nostradamus? This is a quote from one of his
predictions:

"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."

"In the city of York there will be great collapse,
twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress fall,
the great leader will succumb,
the third big war will come when the big city is
burning..."

2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month. New York
is located at the 41st degree Latitude.

He also said that this will be the third World War and it would be bigger
than the last two wars. I hope he is wrong, but judging from his predictions
of Hitler, Napoleon, and Pearl Harbor, this is shocking............

I don't know whether it is related to the archaic "gripper", to grab, to =
hold on (now "agripper")-- the miser grabs coins and holds on to them, =
won't let them go.

Magica is known as Miss Tick, from "mystique" (mystical).

The French branch of the Junior Woodchucks are the Castors Junior =
(castor: beaver).

Chief O'Hara is Comissaire Finot.
finot: familiar for cute (in the sense of "smart")

Pegleg Pete is Pat Hibulaire,
from patibulaire: to have a sinister look-- connotation: suspicious =
looking

Goofy is Dingo (like the Australian wild dog)-- it's the equivalent of =
the familiar "nut"

The Phantom Blot is Le Fant=F4me Noir (Fant=F4me: ghost, phantom).

And Eega Beeva and Pflip's names are spelled Iga Biva and Flip.

I though of adding such information on my site when I did the "names in =
languages" page but eventually didn't. It'd be intersting the study the =
other trnalsations.

I'll meet him on Sat., with Fabio gadducci, Mirko Tavosanis, maybe Alberto
Becattini and some other friends.
If you are around the Tuscany (Pisa - Pistoia - Lucca - Florence) and you
want to join us...

Tell it us! Marcobar?
Cerea,

Luca

In France, Isabelle Rognoni, Maria Soenen (mostly illustrations/covers
but also a few stories), Martine Berthélemy (one story).

Is there a place on the internet where Disney Comics fans can network =
with each other by email? =20

With all this file-sharing going on over the internet (mp3 files, etc.) =
why don't fans of Disney comics get together and share scanned stories =
with each other? It could be done person-to-person by email, or the =
scanned files could be shared on a site such as Kazaa.com.=20

I brought this issue up once before, and a polite reply was posted =
bringing up the copyright issue, period-end-of-discussion. I know there =
are copyright issues, but heck. The Disney Company has locked up the =
old comics and isn't letting anybody reprint them. These classic =
stories are works of art that are being lost. New generations of kids =
are missing out on something special.

And with all due respect, if a person emails someone a scanned Disney =
comic story, who would know?

Am I the only person out here who is interested in this?

Thanks, Thomas Johnson tjohnson at surfnetusa.com
