That's the funny thing about things in the public domain, in which I would
assume this drawings are, if they are from the early thirties: you can do
anything you like with them, including putting your own copyright!

Not the most moral of practices, but if the reason she wrote anything at all
on the scans was to prevent others from using them, then putting her own
copyright notice is probably better than scribbling "hands of my stuff, you
greedy DCML members"! :-)

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new here and I have a (weirdish) request for you. Me and an American
friend of mine have this ongoing inside-joke about big moths (a long story and
kinda hard to explain). But anyways, I noticed that Don Rosa's Escape from
Forbidden Valley has a huge moth (around page 18)"attacking" one of the boys.
I'd like to e-mail that page to my friend, but I only have it in Finnish. Could
someone maybe scan the page (in English) and send it here? It would be great.

One of Don Rosa's rarest comics, the one-pager "Gyro's Beagletrap" (which
was done for the German "TEMPO" magazine and published only once world
wide), will be reprinted for the very first time in "Donald Duck Sonderheft"
#241. The issue will be available at newsstands in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland from June 5th.

If you would like to get a copy of the magazine (it features also the sixth
"60 years of Uncle Scrooge" illustration by Don), just let me know.

The price is 2.70 EUR and postage will be 2.00 EUR (standard international
press shipping; can take some days to arrive). Payments can be sent via
PayPal or - within Europe - via standard European bank transfer (with IBAN /
BIC). Please do not send me any PayPal payments before contacting me! Cash
can be accepted, too, but at the sender's own risk.

Best wishes
Jano

-Which seems to give extra weight to your theory about someone drawing it
from sketches and notes, perhaps drawn whilst watching a Disney cartoon at
the movie theatre.

Yes, I wondered about that too...

Well, *I* put them on the list, not her, so actually I guess it would be
"hands of my stuff, you greedy nerd/fanboy"! :-)
