Roy E. Disney, vice chairman of The Walt Disney Company,
issued a statement saying, "Carl Barks was one of the most
gifted artists and inventive storytellers ever to work for
Disney and the undisputed 'Comic Book King.' When it came to
creating imaginative tales for Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and
the other classic Disney characters, no one ever did it
better. He challenged our imaginations and took us on some of
the greatest adventures we have ever known. His prolific
comic book creations entertained many generations of devoted
fans and influenced countless artists over the years. Carl's
joyful humor and stylish storytelling will certainly be
missed but his timeless tales will stand as a legacy to his
originality and brilliant artistic vision."

Swedish friend, I understand that the serialized
version of "The Sharpie of The Culebra Cut" contains
of 3 parts. This leads to two questions:
a) Where have you put the "chapter" breaks?
b) Are "chapters" 2 and 3 started with a full extra
page of recaps or with the traditional splash-panels?
And by the way, are you working on a new story now?
Best regards from
Sigvald :-)

Thank you

for everything
(from an Indonesian Barks' fans)
It is very surprising and exciting to see that an Indonesian site also put
this news at their website though i doubt that they do understand this whole
Barks Legacy. Instead they just translated a part of an online article (was
it Yahoo?) and made many mistakes in the final translations. Still it is
nice to see that Barks' name finally mentioned in an Indonesian news media.
I've tried to contact two local newspapers but they never replied. And i
doubt the local Disney publisher here will mention anything about this news.
Sad, very sad.
http://satunet.com/artikel/isi/00/08/26/24985.html
To all of you who can read some Indonesian might want to check out this
site, just to see how they're doing.
Oh, almost forgot. Thank you very much for Doctor Gerry Tank who has help me
and the others to get our messages thru to Mr. Barks. I am so glad that at
least i've let him know that there's a fan of his in a faraway side of this
globe. Thank you Mr. Tank for all your help.
Best wishes,

am I mistaken? Then the Greek counter-part of the above weeklies would be
"Miky Maous" that re-prints stories from "Topolino".
However, I'd call "regular" a title that has been publishing periodically
for a number or years. As an example of this from Greece, "Megalo Miky" is
a monthly comic, having made its first appearance back in 1967.
Presently, there exist the following "regular" Disney titles in Greece:
"Miky Maous"--weekly, "Megalo Miky"--monthly, "KOMIX"--monthly,
"Donald"--monthly, "ALMANAKO"--monthly, "Minni"--monthly, and
"KLASIKA"--bi-monthly. "Miky Mysterio" was cancelled last summer.
If I've missed any, I'm sure I'll be corrected by Kriton or Georgios.
Cheers,

from the underground city to the external.
To be honest, now that I'm trying to describe my feeble memories,
I'm even not really sure if the plot was about ducks or mice...
sorry, but I'm quite sure in remembering $crooge together with donald
and nephews trying to escape from that city by the only possible way:
they climbed up the funnel, using a sort of hooked rods in a
particular manner, and then profit of the ascensional air-flow.
That was the end of the story: not a single remembrance of the main
plot comes helping me.
If this may help: I'm (quite) sure that the splash panel under the title
represents the upper part of the funnel above the sea level.
Just to add a bit of confusion to my very obscure description,
I would just say that, as far as I can remember about the style,
the story looks as a Scarpa work.
Could you please help me finding this story?
I remember I loved this story: is anybody having an idea from where such
a plot may has been derived?
I'm awfully sorry for the length of this email and for the lack of
details
in decribing the story (yes and for my poor english too).
Anyway, thanks to all people who had the patience to read it (and could
maybe help me).
Thanks

that have scans of Don's unpublished (here in the states) duck stories? Or
is there anyone on the list willing to send copies in the mail?
Many thanks and back to lurking...

has in his money bin is money he's made himself, and he's made it all
around the world. I don't know about all the other countries, but many
Finnish coins are indeed gold colored, if not actually golden
And, of course, a big part of the money is from ancient treasure chests
that are full of gold dubloons and whatnot. But you're right: A large
portion of the money would still have to be silver with some copper in the
mix, as well.
At least in Egmont countries, though, the colorists are paid not to be
good but fast. And this means they have to pick one colors to present all
the coins. I think yellow is a lot closer to the "real" mix of colors than
the blueish white some American colorists use. (But I've grown up with
yellow coins in the Bin, so maybe it's just me.)

haven't read it, but I must say I don't like the idea of bringing her back
after such a great and emotional (although unfair) ending. Of course the
ending leaves it possible to happen but still it would diminish its

he be in the weekly. It's called Anders And & Co. - he's part of the
co. - Anders And Extra then, should be cleared of Mickey's.
My idea for the publisher would be to make one of the two head-ships
(as I see them), the weekly or the monthly, or a new mag, into one like
the greak Komix or the italian ZP - it should have articles and such.
should carry Scarpa-stories and other good things.
We have them already, but not as monthlies. Ole (issues-responsiple for
danish issues) calls them onehots which is what they are. They come out
whenever the occasion is right, every time 60-80 pages or such.
Occasions like Donald's birthday, Barks' 100 jubilee or such. These
issues have articles, good ones, like the good ones in the weekly. That
would be a monthly I would like. But would it sell? Would the buyers
buy it? I'm not the publisher, so I don't know.
- It should be at least one Carl Barks-story in each weekly.
I think the average at the moment, is one per 4th issue. I agree in the
every 4th issue policie as new readers will be introduced to Barks that
way - I don't care that a Barsk-story comes out again in the weekly,
even though I've read it. I might have read it in my collection of
weeklies from '61, and not many has a such collection. Also a
Barks-story in the weekly could also be one we have never seen before.
>- The silly articles should be removed - except from the ones
explaining
>things in the comics.
You mean the pages with Jokes and how to fool people? I remember how I
liked those when I was 11. I think all the young readers do too. Might
at times be more interesting than reading the comics. Don't take them
out, it'll take out (so to speak) the readers.
I don't know if the articles/fact-pages by Erik Hoerthe are read, but
they're certainly what i like best about the comics, all though it
seems the danish editors have sometimes removed the references to what
comic to find this or that panel. They may have done that because they
haven't time to check the reference - which would have been
unneccessary as it's already checked.
>- I like the contest, but I think it should be Duckburg-related.
The contest is one that is in the back of every issue. I partly agree.
I just don't think it should be like a contest I saw some times, find
butterflies, gifts on the pages - that disturbs the reading a bit. And
tests are sometimes made by people from the company who aren't the
article-writer. FRom what one of those tests said, Minnie does not have
two nieces (And then, we discussed it here. she has many different
ones, 1 that looks so, 2 that looks so, 2 others who look so, and then
we see another one in italian stories and so on)

co. - Anders And Extra then, should be cleared of Mickey's.
My idea for the publisher would be to make one of the two head-ships
(as I see them), the weekly or the monthly, or a new mag, into one like
the greak Komix or the italian ZP - it should have articles and such.
should carry Scarpa-stories and other good things.
We have them already, but not as monthlies. Ole (issues-responsiple for
danish issues) calls them onehots which is what they are. They come out
whenever the occasion is right, every time 60-80 pages or such.
Occasions like Donald's birthday, Barks' 100 jubilee or such. These
issues have articles, good ones, like the good ones in the weekly. That
would be a monthly I would like. But would it sell? Would the buyers
buy it? I'm not the publisher, so I don't know.
- It should be at least one Carl Barks-story in each weekly.
I think the average at the moment, is one per 4th issue. I agree in the
every 4th issue policie as new readers will be introduced to Barks that
way - I don't care that a Barsk-story comes out again in the weekly,
even though I've read it. I might have read it in my collection of
weeklies from '61, and not many has a such collection. Also a
Barks-story in the weekly could also be one we have never seen before.
>- The silly articles should be removed - except from the ones
explaining
>things in the comics.
You mean the pages with Jokes and how to fool people? I remember how I
liked those when I was 11. I think all the young readers do too. Might
at times be more interesting than reading the comics. Don't take them
out, it'll take out (so to speak) the readers.

him on providing electronic script copies and covers and other materials for
Gemstone's first issues, I know that Don may be the most eager of all of us
to see his work in his native language. He has never had any objection to
the use of his work in weekly or monthly anthologies anywhere in the world.
He objects only to the reprinting of his work in all-one-creator editions,
using his name and identity as a marketing tool for high-priced volumes of
his work that has already appeared in that respective language in regular
"comics" format, and without any share of the profits going to him. I'm not
fully familiar with the disagreement the Italian creators appear to have
with their publishers, but Don is apparently not directly part of it -- it
is a completely separate matter.
Don requested that we not flood Egmont with letters about his "rights," real
or perceived, as he believes in first trying friendly communication
restricted to himself and the Egmont folks to resolve that issue. I
certainly feel he is taking the high road in this regard. That doesn't mean
we cannot be curious about what we might expect to see in future comic
magazines. But we can all look forward to seeing Don's work in English
language Disney comic books in approved (and often IMPROVED) text and color
renditions, once Gemstone begins Disney comics publication. I got to read
his scripts for all of these stories long ago, yet I cannot wait to own bona
fide US Disney comics with those stories in their ideal form.

into the story. It's so well done that one almost feels the chill and
hears the wind and thunder. This is also a story of the kind one can read
a lot of times, and discover new things every time - in this case mostly
because of all the details in the art (and masterfully done in a much
less "irritating" and more subtle way than one certain Duck artist use
to make them ;-) ).
Read the story, folks. You won't regret it.
Next one out is another old one-pager (KF 06-03-51).
Then a story about Huey, Louie and Dewey (D 98257, 8 pages), written
by Pat and Shelly Block, and drawn by Anibal.
Donald's nephews are planning a special project at school (I think such
projects are more frequent in the US than in Norway, so it might be read
with slightly different eyes than planned. Personally I think Norwegian
schools should have much more of it. A lot of the techniques I now use
when writing articles are things I learned when writing the mandatory
"særoppgave" in high school (of course, my teacher didn't expect me to
write a book...)). They want to write something that hasn't been written
before, and Donald suggests they write about a possible ancient Indian
camp at a place where he, when a child, found a lot of arrow heads. The
boys find a cave, and really gets into the story. They swear an oath to
never have secrets to each other. Immediately after, they all find one
arrow head each, and they all keep it a secret.
The next day they all get into trouble because of the arrow heads, and
minds spinning, they all think Indian spirits are punishing them for being
dishonest. Donald, without knowing about the arrow heads and the secrets,
tries to be nice to them, and puts some of his old finds under their
pillow. You can imagine the kids' reaction when they wake up and find
them. To make it up to the spirits, they bring the arrow heads back to
the place where they were found. And when they return home, an Indian
chief (who Donald has invited) is waiting for them, with an axe in his
hand. The ducklings decide to write about gold miners from 1849 instead.
And, oops, a silver coin is lying in the grass.
A pretty good story. What I like about it is that the secrets aren't
just used to give the kids a bad conscience, and to come with a lot of
morality talk, but actually puts them into strange situations, mostly
provoked by their own imaginations. The art is ok.
Then a one page criminal mystery (D 98450), which is not a criminal
mystery at all, but a traditional puzzle where one is to find out what
happens with a lot a cog wheels etc. when a handle is pulled (I love
that sort of puzzles). No credits.
And then a Dutch Gyro Gearloose story (H 9197, 4 pages), drawn by
Jose Colomer Fonts.
Gyro has invented a machine that cuts bushes into sculptures. He just
have to show a picture to the machine, and it cuts the bush into the
motive of the picture. After a short while there isn't a single
unsculptured bush left in Duckburg, and he invents a chemical to make
new ones grow faster. When watching the experiment, he's disturbed by
the mayor who will give him a medal, and a lot of journalists. The
growing bush suddenly becomes very big, and threatens to wreak havoc.
Gyro acts quickly, takes a picture and shows it to the cutting machine.
It responds with cutting the bush down to the ground. The mayor isn't
too happy to learn that the picture showed his balded head.
Pretty funny. The art is good.
Next is a one-page Mim story (D 93094), no credits (someone must have
really loved to make one-pagers in the early nineties, eh?).
Mim is looking all over the house for her broom, suddenly realizing
that she's given it to a snow man.
Cute.
Then the first part of the Donald Duck story (D 99171), written by
Andreas Pihl, and drawn by Colomer. I'll comment this in the review
of # 9.
Last is another old one-pager (KF 03-12-50).

nice, I'm sure, but if you want to do something about them, the accepted
method is to lobby legislators -- not simply ignore the law and declare that
creators have no right to control the distribution of their own work,
because to attempt doing so would violate some "philosophy behind the
Internet" (whatever that means).
Quack, Don
