Rich,

Nope! Honey is Bosko's sweetie.

> Maybe she was nameless... and a cat ta'boot!

Oswald did often date a girl cat. Her name was Sadie in her
Disney days. At Lantz, she was later renamed Kitty.
Oswald also had a rabbit girlfriend named Fanny in the early
days. Later, in the mid-1930s, Lantz retconned Fanny into Oswald's
sister.

> How will Oswald's luck compare to that of Gladstone's? ;-)

The reports of Oswald's luck have been greatly exaggerated. (-:
I think it's more apt, given the Disney Oswald cartoons, to say
that Oswald thinks of himself as lucky, not to mention full of charm
and savoir faire. But in practice, he tends to trip over his feet.

> The name Oswald sounds a bit "off"

It works for me. It's certainly unusual, but it's also not a
name you forget easily.

Greetings!

After teaching Germanfor many years, I am now back to Latin.

Are there any Latin versions of the Barks or Rosa stories? Maybe from
Finland? I have always heard that the Finns are big on Latin.

Thank you!

Hi, Just a short note to let you know that I have started posting scans
of locally produced Disney stories from Serbia (from the '30s) at
disneybooks.blogspot.com I think some of you might get a quick out of
that. Didier

I've never heard of Barks or Rosa in Latin. However, you may be interested in the "Disney Lingua Latina" album series produced by the Italians in the 1980's:

I know the first album in the series ("Donaldus Anas atque nox saraceni") and it is really fine.

Many thanks for the link to the Disney Latin comic books!

Again, if anyone comes across Latin comic books, especially Disney
stories, let me know!

I have some rather obscure linguistic-onomastic questions for the esteemed, international community of DCML concerning the Italian duckumentary Paperleone in oriente (Donald Lionduck in the Orient) by Nino Russo and Andrea Freccero, published in Topolino (Libretto) no. 2150 in 1997.

My questions are about the original Italian place-names in the story. In the very first picture, we meet the home town of Donald Lionduck with a wooden sign stating the name of the place. What is this small town called in Italian? Later on, arrived to the Orient, Donald and the crusading army is about to attack and reconquer a castle held by the enemy. In the picture showing the camp of the crusaders in front of the castle, the captain of the crusaders tell us the name of the castle (at least he does in the Danish version). Again, I would be very happy if anyone could inform me of the original Italian place-name.

Actually, for both place-names, the Dutch and German translations would be of great interest to me as well. The Dutch version is published in Dubbel Pocket Donald Duck no. 4, the German in Lustiges Taschenbuch no. 241.

Thanks ever so much in advance.

No, that character was named Featherica von Strangeduck, though the show seemed to use the same basic character model. The episode was "Hotel Strangeduck" and it seemed vaguely similar to "TOCS", but not enough to justify its being reproduced as part of the "Carl Barks' Greatest 'DuckTales' Stories" album series.
