Hi,
This week's issue of Topolino in Italy, due out on 4 October, will start a
new fantasy series of 10 parts titled Wizards of Mickey, starring Mickey,
Donald and Goofy. The story was created by Claretta Muci and Stefano
Ambrosio.
They have launched an impressive website to accompany the start of the
series. Check out the video at http://www.wizardsofmickey.com/
The newspaper La Domenica Di Repubblica had a two-page spread about Wizards
of Mickey two weeks ago, which you can view here:

I don't have it with me and so is not 100% sure, but I
_think_ it is the story called "Want to Buy an

This has been discussed here before, but when does something become public
domain? I have in my hand a Japanese DVD edition of The Three Caballeros (??
??? or Sannin no Kishi) with no Disney logos or copyright information
anywhere, except for a big notice where it says that the movie belongs to the
public domain. How is this possible? I thought that Disney still owned several
trade marks related to the movie (such as the very commonly used Donald Duck and
Jos? Carioca trade marks).
I haven't seen any Disney-related products before where it says that the product

Disney characters are most definitely *not* in the public domain, but some
of the films the studio produced are. One of the most prominent that comes
to mind is the Donald Duck short SPIRIT OF '43, which can actually be viewed
online at any time:
http://www.jonhs.net/freemovies/spirit_of_1943.htm
THE THREE CABALLEROS does not fall into this category, however. As far as I
know Disney has always renewed copyright on all their feature-length films,
so the DVD you possess is probably a pirated copy.

It is still under copyright in the USA.
I have no doubt that it is under copyright in Europe as well.
It is possible that there is a country where it is in public domain, it
would (in most places) not be legal to buy a copy for import to a country where
it is still under copyright.

Is there any way an American can get the calendars with Disney comicbook art
that are produced in Europe? I'd actually love to get a clean copy of the
2006 calendar (at this late date!), if that's possible somehow. (I'm
speaking of one that has Easter eggs by Jippes and a Magica Halloween by
Gattino.) And I'd like to get future calendars, as well. Anyone know of any
website off which I could order them? And then there's the Rosa Advent
calendar....

AM&J Chickadees
Message 8 -
2006-10-04 at 05:59:00
OK, so it's possible no one else is interested in this--but I thought I'd
report on the bit of research I was able to do on the appearances of April,
May & June as Chickadees or other scout-equivalents. (Very incomplete
research, because I don't have access to many of the relevant comics and
could only afford to buy a smattering of them!) Robert Hutchings thought
Barks put AM&J in the Chickadees in "Whale of a Good Deed," but I've read it
now and don't see AM&J among the Chickadees. So unless they appear in "Music
Hath Charms" (which I haven't seen), I don't believe Barks enrolled them in
the Chickadees. They may well appear as lead Chickadees in a bunch of the JW
stories, but the only stories I was able to get hold of with AM&J as
Chickadees were John Carey's "There's No Luck Like Good Luck" (MM 124),
where AM&J (unnamed) appear among the Chickadees, and Carey's "The Big Fat
Prize" (JW 43), where AM&J (named) are on a floating parade float with the
rainbow sign reading "The Chickadee Scouts." I imagine the inclusion of the
word "scouts" means that Carey and others weren't confident that kids in the
1970's would know that the Chickadees are Duckburg's Girl Scouts. In Bob
Gregory's "The Great Twitter-bird Rescue" (JW 47), AM&J (unnamed) are
camping near the boys as members of the "Twitter-birds" (gack). In Kay
Wright's "Rescue Squad" (JW 36), AM&J (named) are camping as members of
"Nature's Princesses"! (I was amused to note on INDUCKS that the
re-translation of this group name back into English from some other language
produced the name "Queens of Nature"! A bit of a different feel, there....)
And in "Super Sales Girls" in Ludwig von Drake 1, AM&J star as "Red Robins,"
who sell cookies a la Girl Scouts. That is the only one of these stories,
incidentally, in which the girls wear a scouting uniform. In "There's No
Luck" they wear their usual blouses with scout hats instead of bows; in the
other stories they're dressed exactly as usual, blouses and bows. Barks's
Chickadees do have uniforms; in Jippes's re-drawings of the Barks-written JW
stories, they have the same uniform Barks gave them in the WDC stories.
Of these five stories, Kay Wright's "Rescue Squad" is by far the most
feminist-friendly, not only because the girls rescue themselves and the boys
by their grass-weaving skill, but also because the last panel assumes a
female reader, as April looks out at the reader and says "But we know
better, don't we girls?" (I'm gratified that the woman writer wrote a more
feminist story, though I certainly don't think women are guaranteed to be
more feminist than men; after all, the feminist comic stories of my
childhood, balancing the male-dominated world of Duckburg, were Stanley's
Little Lulu stories.)
And one last note: another story by John Carey in JW 43, "Woodchuck for a
Day," has April disguising herself as a Woodchuck. (She puts on "my old Davy
Crockett hat" and a black sweater, and her pink high-heeled shoes do not
give her away! Only HD&L see through her disguise, and that's apparently
because they recognize her face.) She does not do what any sane person who
infiltrated the JWs would do--glom onto a JW Guidebook--but leads HD&L in a
search for a missing girl. Not a feminist-friendly tale. She finds the
little girl by leading them towards anything pretty, but her success in
finding the lost child this way is not construed as a victory for girlhood!
She wails when she finds out once they've found the child that she's gotten
them lost (by not using the compass, since she doesn't even know what it
is), and then comes the truly illogical ending: HD&L save the day by using
the compass to get them back home. Huh? If you don't know what direction
you've gone from the starting point, knowing how to read a compass won't
help you get back home. Now, if they had a GPS device, the story might make
sense....

Hi Stefan and others!
Yesterday you asked when something become "public domain".
According to Norwegian, and likely international law, some sort of
"artwork", film, book etc becomes public domain after 100 years. Hence,
Asbj?rnsen and Moe's collection of Norwgian fairytales from 1850s are long
ago free for anyone to reprint. I have no idea if, when time comes, for
Disney's materials from the late 1920's and 1930's celebrates their
centennial, this goes into the free flow of "artwork", or if they still have
the work protected. I will find it very strange if they had their artwork
free for anyone to reproduce and/or alter, to be hounest...
I think, and know for my own part, that owning som sort of artwork, means
you have some interest in it, also economical. Thus, I feel it like stealing
if someone use my artwork for a profit, without a prior permit from me, and
granting me some sort of royalty.
I know a journalist that, after committing some text and photmaterial to a
newspaper, they paid for that, published his image on their website, nor
asking him for a permit or paying him extra for this. He then discovered his
image being published in a major Norwegian glossy paper. They considered it
to be some sort of public domain, and never paid for it.
Myself, I committed a picture for another newspaper in 2005 for a page they
did not pay for it's contribution. This May, the newspaper re-printed the
picture, correctly listing me as the photographer, but without a prior
permit to reprint it. I called the editor, and claimed my rights and sent my
invoice.
So, anyhting sold in a shop, downloaded free or by fee from the internet, is
still stealing unless authorized from the owners. Logos and copyright
notices still there, or ribbed off, makes not difference. It's still
"?ndsverk", someones property. Basically it's what the branch call piracy.
There's a diffuce line, however, to the non commerical utility of i.e.
Disney images on more or less authorized websites, clearly stating they are
copyrighted or trademarked by Disney. It's not into my hands to talk for
Disney's view on such sites, but my opinion it's a matter of definition when
something idealistical non commercial becomes a violation of someones
property.

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the Gottfredson Sunday
strips on the net? I've found a list of the dailies, but no Sundays,
and I can't find "Mickey Mouse in Color" anywhere....
Also, I'm just curious what y'alls thoughts are on Gottfredson's Mickey
Mouse's place in the Barks/Rosa universe.... And has Rosa ever written
any stories that have mentioned or alluded to Mickey in anyway? I know
he's done some art featuring Mickey with the ducks, but I don't know if
he (and other Donaldists) include Mickey in the Barks/Rosa universe....
Thanks!

Don has had Mickey as a visual gag in several of his stories, but I
don't recall any story by him that alludes to Mickey as an existing
character in the Duck universe. The covers he did for a Gladstone
project some time back show that as an artist he's pretty handy with
the Mouse, but I gather that, as a storyteller, the character doesn't
do much for him.

don't recall any story by him that alludes to Mickey as an existing
character in the Duck universe. The covers he did for a Gladstone
project some time back show that as an artist he's pretty handy with
the Mouse, but I gather that, as a storyteller, the character doesn't
do much for him.

Mouse's place in the Barks/Rosa universe.... And has Rosa ever written any

I can only answer for the place of Mickey Mouse in *my own* stories, and no
one else's.
I featured Mickey Mouse in only ONE story I ever wrote, but not only was it
an "imaginary tale" but it also exists only in storyboard-script form and
was never completed. The story was "The Star-Struck Duck" about Donald and
the Kids attending the opening day at the new Disney-MGM Studio in Orlando
in 1990 -- the story was requested of Gladstone by Disney, but the idea was
later scrapped. Naturally, I regarded it as an amusing notion, but
nonetheless an "imaginary tale" in the Mort Weisinger "Great DC Contest"
spirit since all my stories actually take place in the mid 1950's. I had
Donald roaming the Theme Park wanting to get the autograph of "the famous
movie star Mickey Mouse"... I was regarding Mickey as a live (not animated)
actor in Donald's Universe... but only as a one-time joke for that
command-performance story -- the Mouse really does not exist in my version
of that Universe. (Similarly, I've always intended to use the "Duck Tales"
TV show in that Universe as an unauthorized live-action TV series satirizing
$crooge's life which he is always trying to sue for slander, but I've never
had a reason to insert that into a script.)
(The same applied to my "From Duckburg to Lillehammer", another special
"command performance imaginary tale" requested by the Norwegian publisher
and taking place apparently 40+ years in the future of my Universe. I'd
hoped to have the story to involve the 1952 Norwegian Winter Olympics, but I
couldn't swing that since they wanted me to depict the modern Lillehammer
ski jump. So... it became another "imaginary tale".)
As I recall, a mention of Mickey was inserted into my "A Little Something
Special" story in a panel where someone in a crowd scene is offering $crooge
a gift of "an autographed photo of Mickey Mouse". But in my original script
it was "an autographed photo of Walt Disney".
Also, I made a rather direct reference to a definite Mickey look-alike in
"The Magnificent Seven (Minus Four) Caballeros!", and Donald was staggered
by the vision, but not because he recognized the image. He only experienced
a shockingly strong attack of deja vu due to all the other less obvious
"hidden Mickeys" that seem to plague his peripheral vision in my Duck
stories. He doesn't know who or what that critter is, but it seems to haunt
him at the least expected moments and places.
