Hi,
I have been posting on the Disney History blog (disneybooks.blogspot.com) images of a mysterious Chicken Little project on which Ken Anderson seems to have worked in the '40s or '50s.
Where things get interesting and relevant to the Disney Comics Mailing List is that I received the following email from Joakim Gunnarsson:
"There was an illustrated Chicken Little storybook probably done in the mid 70's (?) illustrated by Tony Strobl. (Released in Scandinavia as a part of "Kalle Ankas bokklubb".) It featured Donald, Goofy and several other regulars. If my memory serves me right the design on the drawing you have reminds me of Strobl's artwork in that book. But it was a looong time ago I last saw that book. Could it be that the project that Ken worked on got shelved and the script etc. ended up in the department wich handled the story books and they used it as a basis for one of their books?"
And I answer: Yes, that's clearly possible. It would be a similar situation to The Gremlins project.
Would anyone have access to the book that Joakim mentions above?

Flintheart Glomgold's background?

A younger reader and I wonder what might be known
regarding Flintheart Glomgold's background and
early years, apart from the fact that he lives in
(but was perhaps not born in?) South Africa.
Are we to infer further parallels between him and
Scrooge? Was he poor in his childhood, for example?

There are some suspesion that Glomgold was from Scotland (like Scrooge).
In "DuckTales" animated series, Glomgold was a Scot (stereotypical, by the
way). There was even a comic book (I think the artist was Vicar) when
Glomgold and Scrooge find out, theat they have a common ancestor from
Scotland.
I herd there were some storys teling Scrooge and Glomgold were partners in
Youkon, but I never sow them.
A very good story obaut Scrooge/Glomgold first meeting "The Terror of the
Transvaal" (part of Don Rosa's "The Life and Times of $crooge McDuck").
There Glomgold was poor, (no-good, two-faced liaing) man in Africa, who was
stiling from people while they were working. Young Scrooge saved his life,
and he repay by stilling Scrooge's stuff when he was a sleep and living him
in the midle of the Africa. In this story Glomgold told Scrooge he is a
local man (but I guess it was a lie).
Moust lilklely Glomgold made his large fortune by cheating and stilling from
people. I don't think Glomgold ever made a onest buck... He is a evil
version of Scooge (and the only one of Scrooge main three villains who would
resolt to murder)

Can anyone within the Gemstone circle of knowledge tell me if there is a
plan to release "The Prisoner of White Agony Creek" (WAC) as its own Uncle
Scrooge issue sometime in the near future? I know of the "The Life and Times
of Scrooge McDuck Companion" due to be released any day now, but it seems
rather odd to me that the premiere release of WAC will be as a story within
a larger volume and not its own issue, like all the other stories of the
L&T. Anyone have any thoughts or information on this? Thanks!

Don, how was Dragon*Con?
Message 7 -
2006-09-07 at 03:55:28
To Don Rosa, I just want to say how much I enjoyed meeting you at Dragon*Con this past weekend. I hope that you had a good weekend as well. I don't know if you got to get that gander at Mickey Rooney you were talking about, but I can tell you I got a first hand (literally) lesson in how the man doesn't like to be touched. I'd like to send you the picture of my Donald Duck painting by Andy Lee, but I'm going to wait until the next time your address pops up on the list. I'm not sure if Andy would appreciate me making his work widely available on the 'net without his permission. But for those of you who don't know of Mr. Lee's work, check out his website at http://www.findandy.com/home.cfm and imagine Donald drawn in that style. Andy takes commissions online. (and they're very reasonable) I believe my Donald is the only one he's ever done, (It's certainly the first.) but I'm sure he could be convinced to do another one if anyone else wanted him to.
Again, Don, thanks for the nice chats. I hope you had as much fun this weekend as I did. For me, you were certainly one of its highlights.

What's the original name of Goofy's parrot
Message 8 -

In the Swedish printing of the story
W DDBP 6-04 The Golden Sea Shell
In Kalle Anka & C:o no 26 1964 the name of the parrot that Goofy has is
"Kapten Knark". Now that is at least nowadays a strange name because it
means Captain narcotics. Knark is common phrase for "narkotika" that is
narcotics in English.
Maybe it didn't mean narcotics in 1964. I was only three years old then
so I don't know. Any Swedes here that can enlighten us on this ?
So can anyone tell me the original name of the parrot ? It would be fun
to know.

The word goes back to 1953 concerning drugs and ment originally "a shot (of
alcohol)".
Befor that (back to the 16th century) the word was related to the word
"knarr" meaning "creak" or "squek".

Hi Kai Saarto,
you have asked about copies of the DCML archives from 1995-1999. I
don't have them, but I'm asking because you might have got it from
others. I'm needing some this material about the Carl Barks Studio
time featureing Don Rosa. So please write to me if you have it.

I'm somewhat older than you, but not old enough.
In about 1968, I know "knark" meant "drugs",
but it probably meant something else (or nothing at all) in 1964.
> So can anyone tell me the original name of the parrot ?
It's Cap'n Quirk.

Hi Bob,
Is there a technical name for a comic book collector? Something very
sophisticated-sounding like "numismatist" (not sure how to spell that) or
"philatelist" (not sure how to spell or pronounce that one)? Just
wondering.
If there's no term for collecting comic books (or one who collects
them): Maybe we should have a contest? Or a person at some comic book
club could suggest some new terms that all comic book collectors could then
vote on?

Just got back from B&N, where I saw what looked like a new collection of old comic adaptations of Disney feature films, published by Disney. It contained adaptations of Snow White, Dumbo, Alice and Wonderland and Peter Pan. It also contained a crossover story featuring Dumbo along with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. What annoyed me was the total lack of acknowledgement of who drew and scripted these stories. I hope this is a case where the records of who created these comics have been lost rather than a gross oversight on behalf of the publisher.
