The song of Hiawatha and Kalevala are both written in runometer (I don't
know what it's called in english). It consists of two groups with four
trochees in each, and a trochee consists of a long syllable followed by a
short one. In addition to this the groups should alliterate and the second
group should repeat the content of the first one one way or the other.
As far as I can tell, you're not using this metre.

I'm interested in rhyme and poetry, and for a simple rhythm I find your
explanation difficult to follow.
<Writing in rhythm is purely a mechanical operation. You could train a
monkey to do it, if the monkey happened to be fluent in the language.>
I see this as a contradiction. You explain that being fluent in the language
is important for writing in rhythm. You say that a monkey could do it, and
then you explain that a monkey can't do it at all. That's confusing.
<A writing acquaintance of mine, seeing a Bucky Bug script I'd written
(Bucky is written in meter AND RHYME) once remarked that for all the

four-beat iambic verse, and it rhymes. It's designed to amuse children.

Barks used a lot of rhythm and poetry. His dialogue looks almost musical to
me. In an interview, maybe in Donald Ault's book, Barks told he counted
syllables to prevent to words and dialogue getting too difficult and
long-winded. And there's of course his 'Ode to the Disney Ducks' from 1999.

I consulted with http://www.wolfstad.com/dcw/ (Disney comics worldwide) but
found no in Syria. Maybe some of the Egypt comics may be found in a Syrian
comic shop? Perhaps a search in syrian yellow pages would do it?

Duck comics in Uk
Message 20 -

Hi! As we all (probably) know, there are no duck comics published in United
Kingdom.
This is very sad, since I really wanted to buy some comics when visiting
britain.
Of course, some comics shops sell the USA ducks from Gemstone, but to pay 7
? (That's what I've seen them for) for a comicbook is a bit overpriced,
especially when in Sweden you can get a swedish Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) at
68 page format (in secound hand) for about 40 US-cent.
Are they ever going to publish comic in UK again? Is it because of that they
want books, and litterature.
Well, publish some Barks/Rosa then.
Here is a list of what a first thick good fact comic could include:
The Old Castle's Secret
Voodo Hoodo
Land of the pygmy Indians
The lost crown of Ghenghis Khan
Tralla la
The Philosophers Stone
The Golden Helmet
War of the Wendigo
Return to Xanadu
The Guardians of the Lost library
The lost chart of Columbus
The Crown Of The Crusader Kings
A letter from home
359 pages, yes, but it would perhaps make comic-sceptic parents to buy it to
their children (And then make again a comic-nation)
Of course, 100 % fact based comics are MUCH better, it's because of that I
like duck comics , especially Barks/Rosa (And other fact comics)

I quite agree about his rhythmic, musical dialog, and am not a bit
surprised to hear he counted syllables. Barks has always had a very
strong influence on my own writing style, which surprises people who
don't know better, and think of him as just an artist. I've been a fan
of his for more than 50 years -- starting about when I learned to read,
as a matter of fact. By 1969, when I began writing professionally
(feature stories in the Sunday morning New Orleans Times-Picayune), I
was already seeing faint echoes of him in my own writing.

This is exciting news! That means Atomino Bip-Bip will finally be coming to the
USA! Mickey's known extended family & friends is growing here! I've always liked
Atomino, but the stories I have of him are, naturally, all Italian (and maybe some
Dutch ones?). I believe you (David) said that his English name will be "Atomo
Bleep-Bleep", correct?
I was also happy to see "Love Trouble" finally reprinted! And the return of
Ellsworth to the USA!!!!
For the maintainer of C.O.A. of INDUCKS.
Under the character of Montmorency Rodent, his English names are listed as:
English: Montmorency, Mortimer, Monty, Uncle Mortimer.
This is incorrect. "Uncle Mortimer" is a totally different character, notably,
Minnie Mouse's rich Uncle.
Also, another common English name for Montmorency Rodent is "Mortimer Mouse."
Mortimer Mouse = Montmorency Rodent, but not Uncle Mortimer.
Another thing I noted, under "Minnie's twin nieces" the definition/description
implies that the "twin" nieces do NOT use the name Melody. This is not true. In
the USA W 01518 A-06 Mickey Mouse: The Late, Late Show, the Minnie says the twins
are named "Melody and Millie." However, it is true that the next time they
appear, W MM 88-05 Mickey Mouse: Mickey's Close Call, Mickey calls them "Pammy &
Tammy."
A while back I asked about the name of Daisy Duck's cat in the DUCKIES title and
was advised that readers were polled and the winning name was "Minet", however,
she is listed as "Dinkie"? Was name Minet replaced with Dinkie or is Minet still
used somewhere?
Finally, Dickie Duck made her USA debut in the story Story code: D 99047
Title: Healthy Choice. She is only depicted among the many other kids, but her
visual imagery is unmistakable. Again, in C.O.A. she is listed as having the
English name of Paperetta Ye-Ye, even though it is fairly common knowledge that
Romano Scarpa said her English name is "Dickie Duck." Has there been an official
designation for her English name?
I'm still hoping to see Gideon McDuck (Scrooge's brother); Kildare Coot (Sgrizzo
Papero); Bruto (Mickey's talking bird); Dugan Duck (Biquinho); Gloria (dal
Brasile), Fethry's girlfriend; Trudy (Pete's moll); Super Daisy (Papernika) and,
especially , some of the nNEW Junior Woodchucks (Giovani Marmotte) stories
featuring Moguls Bertie McGoose & Clarissa von Scout finally make their USA debut!

That?s pretty cool. I wondered if Trudy would ever make it into the USA
publications considering a past fear that some voiced about confusion surround her
being his ?girl friend? when the animated series ?GOOF TROOP? seemed to establish
Pete as being married. As a fan of the series, I absolutely adored April
Winchell?s voicing of Peg (Pete?s wife) and felt she proved a perfect foil to his
villainy and hubris! Still, that?s the GOOF TROOP universe and ?single Pete? with
Trudy is in the greater Mouse Universe. ;-)
As an aside, it?s nice to know Pete?s allies will be increasing! Will Plottigat,
being a ?cousin? to Pete & Trudy, be making his debut sometime soon? And does he
have an English name as well?
BTW, does Trudy?s surname have anything to do with Pete?s former ID as J.P.
Diamondtubs?

Of course? that makes perfect sense considering he is introduced as
Ellsworth?s ?son.? Along the same lines I'm delighted to see more use of Eega
Beeva and Mortimer Mouse aka Montmorency Rodent.
As for others I would love to see revived (or used to a greater extent) include
Glory-Bee, Launchpad, Tanglefoot, Figaro, Fifi the Peke & Butch the Bulldog (as
fodder for Pluto stories), Morty & Ferdie (& Melody), Clara Cluck, Disney Babies,
Jose Carioca/Panchito reprints & modern stories (not just the Rosa stories), Prof.
von Drake, Muscles McGurk, April, May & June & modern Moby Duck tales. I know
DUCK stories feturing Donald, Scrooge & the Nephews are the POPULAR requests, but
I consider myself a champion of the "little guys" ;-)

Well, that makes perfect sense to me too, and I?m not exactly sure where I first
saw the name ?Super Daisy?, but I?m sure it was in relation to ?Super Donald? and,
hey, as a longtime reader of Marvel and DC superhero comics, I totally comprehend
the necessity of a secret ID? still, I guess I assumed there was some whacky twist
in the Disney Universe where all someone had to do was put ?Super? or some other
modifier before their name and suddenly no one recognized them? hence Super Genius
(Genius being Ellsworth?s French name) and others like Super Scamp, Elastic
Mickey, etc. LOL! I?m very happy the name DUCK AVENGER was adopted for that very
reason. Given that, I?d much prefer to see ?Super? Daisy or rather Papernika
debut under a much more clever name like the CRIMSON QUACKETTE, or better yet,
since Donald emulates Batman in his ?Dark Knight? persona, thus Daisy could sync
up with Batman?s dark protégé The Huntress, taking on the name ?DUCK HUNTRESS?
(which is actually quite funny when you think about it!).

Please check the COA. You'll find that outside of Italy, only
France has produced stories with Atomo Bleep-Bleep.
You'll get more of Atomo in MMA 13, by the way.

Correct.

I'm glad somebody noticed our Scarpa/Cavazzano Ellsworth short
in MICKEY MOUSE ADVENTURES 10! And Scarpa's Ellsworth will be back
again later this month with a longer story in WALT DISNEY TREASURES.

Nope. Dickie's USA debut came even earlier, in D 2000-106
"Return to TNT" (in Gemstone's DONALD DUCK ADVENTURES 5). You'll
notice her on the second page, driving HDL and Herbert off on a
camping trip.
> [in D 99047] she is only depicted among the many other kids, but her
> visual imagery is unmistakable.
Oh, it's her all right. I ought to know; I edited this story at
Egmont.
There's a slight error, BTW in Gemstone's publication: on the
credits page, I'm credited as having done the English dialogue for
"Healthy Choice." My credit shouldn't be there: John Blair Moore, the
story's author, is an English-speaking American well-schooled in Duck
idiom, and the (excellent!) dialogue is his.

Trudy Van Tubb (her complete English name) will be in WALT
DISNEY TREASURES' Ellsworth story, on sale in just a couple of weeks.
And we'll probably have another story with Trudy early next year.
The other characters you list are all possibilities for the
future, though I think we'd logically wait to introduce Bruto until
our audience is used to Ellsworth.
> Super Daisy (Papernika)
Er, who came up with the name "Super Daisy"? When she's in her
costume, nobody's supposed to know that she's Daisy. So she couldn't
logically call herself "Super Daisy." (It's the same reason why
Donald Duck's secret identity is "Duck Avenger" rather than "Super
Donald"...)

Please check the COA. You'll find that outside of Italy, only
France has produced stories with Atomo Bleep-Bleep.
You'll get more of Atomo in MMA 13, by the way.

Correct.

I'm glad somebody noticed our Scarpa/Cavazzano Ellsworth short
in MICKEY MOUSE ADVENTURES 10! And Scarpa's Ellsworth will be back
again later this month with a longer story in WALT DISNEY TREASURES.

Nope. Dickie's USA debut came even earlier, in D 2000-106
"Return to TNT" (in Gemstone's DONALD DUCK ADVENTURES 5). You'll
notice her on the second page, driving HDL and Herbert off on a
camping trip.

Oh, it's her all right. I ought to know; I edited this story at
Egmont.
There's a slight error, BTW in Gemstone's publication: on the
credits page, I'm credited as having done the English dialogue for
"Healthy Choice." My credit shouldn't be there: John Blair Moore, the
story's author, is an English-speaking American well-schooled in Duck
idiom, and the (excellent!) dialogue is his.

Not yet.

Trudy Van Tubb (her complete English name) will be in WALT
DISNEY TREASURES' Ellsworth story, on sale in just a couple of weeks.
And we'll probably have another story with Trudy early next year.
The other characters you list are all possibilities for the
future, though I think we'd logically wait to introduce Bruto until
our audience is used to Ellsworth.
> Super Daisy (Papernika)
Er, who came up with the name "Super Daisy"? When she's in her
costume, nobody's supposed to know that she's Daisy. So she couldn't
logically call herself "Super Daisy." (It's the same reason why
Donald Duck's secret identity is "Duck Avenger" rather than "Super
Donald"...)

One has to love the dialogue of the Norwegian translation used in the book
"Jeg, Super-Donald" (before the name Fantonald was established), in an
early story (Paperinik's second, I think) when Gyro is told about Donald's
secret identity: ">Gasp!< Donald? YOU'RE Super-Donald?"
Hm. "Duck Avenger" has his last name in it. That's as if Superman should
have called himself "Kent Avenger".
Hey, wait a minute ... I JUST FIGURED OUT THE SPECIES OF SUPERMAN! He's a
MAN! Why didn't I see this before? (Batman, however, is a tricky one. Or a
hybrid.)
Super Goof, however, can logically call himself whatever he wants.

Would you be tempted to write the first American Atomo story (not for the
sake of being the first, of course), or would you rather focus on
Gottfredson's universe?
But then, I suppose it depends a lot on the what story pops in your head,
and what characters it involves or are best to tell it.

Right.
How about "Super Goofy", then? Not too smart.
I guess it's part of the joke (always on this lovable bumbling big guy)--
and of the parody (nobody recognizes Superman / Clark and so forth).

Muscles Mc Gurk?!

Blasco Pisapia asked:
"who is Muscles Mc Gurk?"
Stefan Persson replied with a link to C.O.A.:
See http://coa.inducks.org/character.php/x/Muscles+McGurk
However, I noticed there's not much of a description there, and what is mentioned
isn't exactly correct. He is listed as part of the DUCK Universe, but I believe
it is more accurate to consider him part of the MOUSE Universe.
Muscles McGurk is part of Mickey's Rogues Gallery. Someone once said he was like
Bark's "Neighbor Jones" serving as a irritable nextdoor neighbor to Mickey. I
don't actually recall seeing him in this capacity, but my exposure to Muscles is
limited primarily to a couple scans I saw early on, and the stories that have been
printed in the USA. In the stories I've read, he has typically teamed up with
other Mickey villains.
Here's a couple different images of Musces McGurk.

Hi to all.
I'm temporarily de-lurking just to ask: who is Muscles Mc Gurk?
Rick mentioned him in his last mail, among the semi-obscure characters he'd like to see printed in US.
Maybe I'm only acquainted to him with his Italian name...
Thank you for any hints.
Bye
