Hi!
Oh! Finnish edition is two pages shorter than original! It must be in that missing page. No wonder why I didn't find it. Thanks!
German Micky Maus had it complete?

Anyway, in the complete 10-page version it's on page 3. In the first page US is feeling bored in his office, in the second page he visits a doctor who can find nothing wrong with him and not even a stroll in the money vault cheers him up. Then, in the first panel of page 3, he discovers his No. 1, and begins to dream about times past and the "romantic" moment he earned his first dime. So, the dime-earning moment is on page 3, panel 2, in the full version.

Here's Timo:
"In his introduction to the first episode of The Life and Times of $crooge McDuck Don says:
'I regard any $crooge tale not written by Barks to be apocryphal. However in UNCLE $CROOGE #50 there was a story drawn by Tony Strobl which showed a young $crooge earning his first dime by cleaning a ditchdigger's boots.'
"Yet I can not find such story in US 50, as I search the Inducks. Has Don done some typo or other error there?"
Here's Germund:
"It should be [S 63099], but now I see in Inducks that one page is apparently cut from the US versions... Someone could perhaps check again."
And here's Harry:
"Don was mistaken. The story is "The Invisible Intruder" in Uncle Scrooge #44. Written by Vic Lockman."
Now here's me:
Don was correct. The story is indeed the Strobl-drawn S 63099, "Chairman of the Bored"/"Getting That Healthy Wealthy Feeling," published in the USA in US 50.
On page 3 of both the original S-coded version and the cut USA version, you *do* see young Scrooge shining the ditchdigger's shoes and earning his dime. "When he pressed that dime into my sweaty little palm, I was the happiest young duck in the world!"
The page that was cut out in the USA edition comes from later in the story and has no effect on the dime-earning sequence.
"Invisible Intruder" does show young Scrooge shining shoes as well, but has no bearing on the actual earning of the dime. Don's text was correct.
Best, D

Strobl story and some censorship in a Barks' story
Message 36 -
2006-12-12 at 14:41:49
Hello,
Just when I thought I may contribute to the List, and
some "50" people beat me to it! :-). That Strobl story
about how Scrooge earned his first dime as a boy, was
called "Getting that Healthy, Wealthy Feeling" in
Australia, and was printed in issue No. 312 in 1972 as
a 9 page story. I say 9 pages, because the Australian
publishers often used to cut panels, or whole pages.
Now this gives me a chance to talk about something
that I came accross quite recently, another case of
censorship for one of Barks' stories, by Disney. It
concerns "Island in the Sky", where Scrooge and the
boys set out to find a safe storage location for his
money within the asteroid belt, out beyond Mars.
I'm an irregular reader of the mailing list, and I
know there has been some discussion about changes in
Barks' stories, particularly "The Treasure of Marco
Polo" for cultural sensitivities, but I don't know if
anyone has talked about "Island in the Sky".
I am comparing US 268 (Disney - July 1992) to my
original, Australian, printing of the story, which
came out in issue G480 (1970).
I guess like other stories such as "Land of the Pygmy
Indians" and Rosa's "War of the Wendigo", the intent
has not to offend the Native American peoples. Some
examples of changes to the dialog within this story
are:
Scrooge says, when encountering the aliens for the
first time (p11):
"They kneel like the American savages kneeled to
Columbus!"
In the US 268 printing he says:
"They kneel like the ancient savages kneeled to
explorers!"
Likewise when held captive in the cave, HD&L say(p
14):
"What are these asteroid Apaches jabbering about?"
Rather than (US 268): "What are these asteroid aliens
jabbering about?"
And Scrooge later says (p 15):
"I'll let the chief Mohawk have this big watermelon."
Rather than (US 268): "I'll let the chief savage have
this big watermelon."
Interestingly other references comparing the asteroid
aliens to Native Americans go unchanged. Namely:
"Poor, hungry, little Siwashes!" (p 15)
"We have to abandon these little Apaches to their
rotton luck!" (p 16)
I hope someone else finds that interesting.

Mark Small

I found it interesting! I guess I can see the logic behind those
changes. Thanks for posting.
December is definitely the Disney-est month for us. Lots of great
childhood stories floating in as people search for comics that meant a
lot to them as kids or are buying gifts for people who remember them fondly.
We also finally graded and listed a batch of Disney Wheaties premiums
(mini-comics) and they were fun to read. Boy, I'm not sure if those
were taped to the boxes or what but they are in much worse shape than
your average Disney comic from the early 50s, that's for sure.

Carl Barks Christmas Stories

Michael Schartau's comments from Sweden were interesting. I just
wanted to add that it is too bad the Carl Barks Christmas stories,
like A Christmas for Shacktown and A Letter to Santa were never
animated so they could reach a larger audience world-wide.
Do we know if Walt Disney himself kept track of Barks' comic
stories? Is it possible he did not know these stories? I have never
had the opportunity to read much about Barks in a biography, but I
have not read anything yet about Walt Disney himself following the
Barks comic books.
I can understand the business descendants of Disney not recognizing
greatness and an opportunity, since they have made some really bad
decisions throughout the decades. I would find it odd that Disney
himself, after reading some of Barks' stories, would not have used
them for a movie or for cartoons. Of course, the TV era was changing
things, and if he did know the stories, perhaps he thought they were
not "big" enough in the "Sleeping Beauty" fashion to attract people
into a theater. (Sleeping Beauty lost money when it first came out.)
On the other hand, with the 80's Duck Tales TV show much of this was
rectified!

character to be animated.
I would love to see animated stories like The Milkman or
W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N.
Maybe we must expect the future days of Donald and Mickey in public

From the precedent established by the U.S. Copyright Term Extension
Act of 1998 (perhaps better referred to as the "Mickey Mouse
Protection Act") I sadly suspect such a time to be a very long way off
- unless groups such as the Free Software Foundation or Creative
Commons make considerable gains in the coming next few years.
In addition to that, it must be noted that the stories themselves are
also bound up by copyright, so that even though the *characters*
could, from a copyright (as I recall, at least some of them are also
subject to trademark protection - which is indefinite) perspective, be
used freely, the same doesn't have to apply to the stories which we'd
like to see animated. So the issue really is a rather complex one. :(

From the precedent established by the U.S. Copyright Term Extension
Act of 1998 (perhaps better referred to as the "Mickey Mouse
Protection Act") I sadly suspect such a time to be a very long way off
- unless groups such as the Free Software Foundation or Creative
Commons make considerable gains in the coming next few years.
In addition to that, it must be noted that the stories themselves are
also bound up by copyright, so that even though the *characters*
could, from a copyright (as I recall, at least some of them are also
subject to trademark protection - which is indefinite) perspective, be
used freely, the same doesn't have to apply to the stories which we'd
like to see animated. So the issue really is a rather complex one. :(
