>>a scan of the Donald Duck newspaper strip from April 5, 1945,
Strange thing is that "Truman" is lettered different way than other text, it is changed. Finnish translation has "Roosevelt" instead.

You truly have An Eye For Detail, Timo! Let's see if we
can sort this out. The original comic srip appeared in
newspapers on April 5, 1945. Shortly after this, Franklin
D. Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945.
That must be the reason why the dialogue was changed to
"Truman" when the strip was reprinted in September's WDCS
#60, which is the scan provided by Bob Bishop.
Greetings, Michiel Prior.

Donald Duck In Darkest Africa story
Message 21 -

Hey everyone:
One of my favorite Donald stories by Barks is Darkest Africa.
Unfortunately, every single copy I've read has the panels redrawn or
reinked by someone else - Daan Jippes, I think? I like Jippes but I'm
not too fond of the changes in the art and would much rather have a
copy without changes.
Is there anyone who has an original copy of this story who would be
willing to scan it or send it to me? I remember that it was online a
few years ago but that url link doesn't work anymore. Or even a scan
of Voodoo Hoodoo. I'm trying to get copies of Barks stories without
changes and I don't think there any plans to reprint the originals
(unless they used the original comics themselves).
Thanks
Tom Wormstedt

Darkest Africa was published in Italian Tesori -series with 100% Barks
lines. In both languages, Italian and in English. English version b/w and
Italian colored. Completely original, caringly restored by Luca Boschi.
Great work! Printed 2002.
Daan Jippes and Dick Vlottes re-inked those published in CBL.

There is one drawback: the *lettering* is entirely new, also in the
English version.
And in the re-lettering they made a mistake: instead of "brofessor Van
Tulip of der University of Rotterdam" it now says "professor ...". So
the fake-Dutch accent (the b in brofessor) has gone.

Hey guys,
I thought that you all might find this interesting. Just the other day,
some people off the Florida Keys discovered a 17th century shipwreck with
cargo worth about an incredible $500,000,000. See the link below. As soon as I
heard this story, I immediately thought of Don Rosa's "Treasure under Glass"
and how very similar the news mirrors the art. Mr. Rosa, you should be proud!
Scrooge McDuck himself would be jealous of such a remarkable find underwater!

Cutty Sark damaged in fire
Message 25 -

Hi all!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/6675381.stm
As the link shows, a fire engulfed the Cutty Sark. From other pictures I've
seen, the ship looked like a fireball. But apparently the damage isn't as bad
as feared. 50% of the ship's plankings had already been removed for restoration
before the fire. Of what was left, only some of it has been damaged beyond
repair.
I, like some/many of you, had a newfound knowledge/respect for the Cutty Sark
after reading Don's "Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark." For that sentimental
reason and for the preservation of history itself, I'm glad the ship came out
of the fire pretty well.

The story talks about 500,000 *rare* coins, which they expect to sell at $1000
each, to collectors. Somehow, 500,000 and "rare" don't seem to go well
together. This reminds me of a certain other Uncle Scrooge story!

Funny old 1930 'paper scraps'

Hi all!
I was recently asked about the origin of this funny old artwork:
http://ext.disneycomics.dk/oldstuff.jpg , printed in Vienna, supposedly
sometime in the early 1930-s.
Does anyone know anything about this? Or have a clue about who drew it?

Those early/mid 1930s character drawings look to me like the style used
in The British Disney publications of that time. They look similar to the
characters on the British-drawn covers for books and magazines, and for
the newspaper comic
strip.

Er... because they were very well-known, even then? The art appears to date from about 1935, when a feature-length Disney short subject revue had just been appearing in German-speaking countries.

Looks to me like the artist was trying hard, but perhaps going from memory or from notes taken during a cinema viewing. Mickey's hairy tail is inexcusable.
Interesting selection of characters, too... that appears to be a Funny Little Bunny (from the 1934 Silly Symphony) and the Flying Mouse at the bottom right. And the cow does not look like a Disney figure, unless perhaps someone confused Clarabelle with Borden dairies' Elsie mascot.
