Jan, Are you still willing to trade #3 Yellow Beak for a Bolivar? I still
have another spare Bolivar if anyone is interested. It is good to see I am
not the only collector of these. My e-mail is mandkandrew at optusnet.com.au
if anyone is interested in Carl Barks Trading cards. I am a happy buyer of
them. Cheers, Martin.

I was glad to hear the Barks trading cards mentioned again. They bring back
fond memories from about five years ago when I started systematically
picking up those volumes and discovered to my shock that the early WDC&S
ones had the cards randomly inserted. (Which was a dirty trick.) I believe
that practice stopped after #8 so the rest of the ten-pagers plus the 25
DDAs plus the 56 Uncle Scrooge volumes had consecutive cards.

The card #3 was a problem for me for a long time as my copy of #3 came with
card #4. It was sad having to ask various ebay sellers which card their
issues 1-4 came from. For a long time I needed to buy a #4 with card #3 to
"fix" the problem. I finally gave up and bought an extra #3 with card #3!

So yes, many of us understand collecting these "silly things." :)

This is about the Carl Barks trading cards.

I have one spare Black Pete and one spare Yellow Beak (cards #8 and #3).

I need a Donald Duck (#1), a Bolivar (#3) and a neightbour Jones (#4).

So, if you still need a Black Pete and still have a spare Bolivar, we could
trade.

Just got the following question from one of the readers of the Disney History blog. Would anyone be able to help?

Thanks in advance.

[One of my favorite Disney comics is "Mickey and the Haunted House," which
introduced Drusilla, one of Mickey's more unique enemies. I remember reading
about an article about that story in a huge book on Mickey Mouse--the
article postulated that Drusilla turned to crime after being rejected by the
male-dominated chemistry community. Do you know of this article? If so, do
you have a citation? I have never been able to find it!

Thanks,
Stavner]

Further update I also have a spare #9 - Daisy Duck. Elon although I already
have a #13 I am happy to swap a #5 Bolivar for it. Can you email me direct
please.

Cheers,

Martin Andrew

I read Don Rosa's "Prisoner of White Agony Creek" in the new Gemstone
Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion, and I was surprised to see that
Scrooge's feet were bare. Rosa's previous stories of Scrooge's Klondike
gold rush days showed him wearing improvised shoes of cloth strips most of
the time. In the flashback portion of "Last Sled to Dawson" even Casey
Coot wears them. Scrooge wears them in Chapter 8 "King of the Klondike"
and 8C "Hearts of the Yukon". Now in his new story 8B, Scrooge wears them
on the cover, but has bare feet throughout the story. Why is that?
The new story "Prisoner of White Agony Creek" incorporates several
panels from Barks' originally censored flashback portion of "Back to the
Klondike", and Scrooge was barefoot in all the flashback portion of Barks'
Klondike story, despite the snow. So Rosa had to leave Scrooge barefoot in
order to be faithful to the original Barks' story he was elaborating. So
what is the origin of Scrooge's foot wrappings? It's not anywhere in
Barks' "Back to the Klondike". Indeed, it's in Barks' first long Scrooge
story, "Only a Poor Old Man", page 7 panel 8. As far as I know, that one
flashback panel is the only time Barks showed Scrooge wearing
foot-wrappings in a comic story.

I'm researching the original English text of the Carl Barks story
"Forbidden Valley".

According to this webside,

http://nafsk.se/pipermail/dcml/2002-June/013674.html

a person associated with this e-mail seemed able to quote the English text
of the story. Is this correct?

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Funny -- I replied to this on Sept. 21 but I've yet to see that reply appear
on DCML... guess it's lost in cyberspace. I'll try to remember what I wrote:

You are correct in all of that. But why did $crooge have those distinctive
foot wrappings in the flashback in "Only a Poor Old Man" story (one of the
greatest comic stories of all time!)? My theory is that the look was
inspired by Charlie Chaplain's footwear in THE GOLD RUSH film where he wears
similar foot wrappings. Remember, Barks' era goes back to silent movies --
he was born in 1901. And THE GOLD RUSH was a major film of that era that
everyone would have seen. I suspect it influenced the Barks flashback panel
in "Only a Poor Old Man". And as a movie buff, I've always liked that image.
Makes it look like real poverty & suffering for either Chaplain or young
$crooge.

...and that is a last moment transmission, as I leave on Wednesday for a
signing tour of Germany (including a quick jaunt to Switzerland) with a "big
finish" at the Frankfurt Book Fair... or as they call it, the Buchmesse,
which is an even better name -- a bigger mess a' books you won't see on the
planet. Fills about 8 convention halls when I was last there 5 or 6 years
back. I mention the trip since sometimes folks here fuss at me for not
warning them when I will be in their area. So, in case anyone cares,
apparently my signing schedule can be found on the website of the comics-guy
who invited me on this tour he arranged: http://www.comic-spielzeug.de/ ...
I assume all the info is there, even though I'm too stupid to read it.
