You are probably referring to "One For The Whammy" by
Gregory, Strobl and Liggera. You can find more information
about the story here:

Hey,

here's a question for the real Strobl experts out there... Does anyone
happen to know Tony Strobl's wife Roberta's *maiden name*?

Not very important, but I would be thrilled if someone could help me find it.

Olaf

if her dates are (1918-1993), then her maiden name was "simpson"

Hi Timo !

No the Swedish book doesn't have this picture byt that is since the art on the first 63 pages are from a totally different story.
The text however is from the correct story.

They really have goofed up here.

The book has 160 pages but the art on the first 63 pages are by Frank Mc Savage. I'll try to describe the story as I think it should be by looking at the pictures of it.

It seems to be a story where Donald gets a letter that makes him happy at first. Then he sees that it really is for Gladstone. Then there is picture of a car and a tree that seems to have been struck by ligthning with all of the ducks standing beside watching. There is a hole in the roof of the car. Then inside the house there are two crooks. One big with a gun and one skinny. Gladstone seems to find money that the crooks are happy about. They are thrown in a van with a lot of bags probably with money in them ? They drive to a boat ( a scooner I think) where they seem to be prisoners of the crooks. They escape or are put to sea in rowboat. Another ship squirts a lot of water on the scooner in some picture.

Does it sound complicated ?
To add further the art is not in correct order but seems to be heavily disordered

Does anyone know what story this art is from ?

The rest of the book seems to have art by Strobl and Mauri Kunnas.

About the book I would say that the value is 1 to 3 euro but on the other hand I would say that you would be extremely lucky to get hold of a copy. I have only seen it twice.

Hello Ola!

----- Original Message -----

As a spread (noun, not verb) I meant two facing pages. I'd like to know if Swedish book is translation of this American book:
http://www.perunamaa.net/ankistit/fabulousDiamond.jpg
Does the Swedish book have this picture?

>Do you have the book ...

No I don't have it, but I'd like to have it as a curiosity, since it has drawings by Mauri Kunnas.

Best Wishes
Timo

I remember one Frank McSavage drawn story with Gladstone. I think it might have
been a Grandma Duck story from "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" from 1951 or a
second story in a Donald Duck comic from around that time. But I don't see how
it could have taken up 63 pages, even in 3- tier, pocketbook format.

Happy 2008 to you all!

Here's a late christmas card for you to share!
(my last painting, based on that panel from Christmas on Bear Mountain and the
corresponding Bark's oil painting...)

After 27 years, the time has come for me to announce my retirement as the promoter of Mid-Ohio-Con.

The difficult decision to take this action is based solely on personal
reasons, including a desire to pursue several new professional
opportunities.

The show itself remains viable, and it is my sincere hope that
Mid-Ohio-Con will continue under new ownership. To that end, R.A.P.
Promotions will entertain offers from seriously interested parties
starting immediately. Those wishing to obtain additional information
and submit an offer are asked to first contact me in writing either via
e-mail at info at midohiocon.comemail: info at midohiocon dot com,
or at PO Box 3831, Mansfield, Ohio 44907.

Since creating Mid-Ohio-Con in 1980, I have had the unique opportunity
to watch a small, local gathering of comic book fans and collectors
grow into one of the most popular events of its kind in America. During
that time I have been blessed with more wonderful life experiences and
treasured friendships than I could have ever imagined.

Special thanks must go to my inner circle of family and friends who
have given so much to support me and Mid-Ohio-Con. The success and
popularity of Mid-Ohio-Con is a testament to all of you.

My sincere thanks to all of the retailers, exhibitors, industry
professionals and media personalities who have participated in and
supported Mid-Ohio-Con over the years. It has been an honor to work
with every one of you.

Finally, to all the thousands of fans and collectors who have become
such an important part of the Mid-Ohio-Con family, thank you for
allowing me the privilege of entertaining you over the years. I hope we
will see each other again in the very near future.

Sincerely,

Roger A. Price

R.A.P. Promotions
