Hi everyone!

On CNN's site today:
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/08/01/Human.power/index.html
Story Highlights
- A Hong Kong gym and London dance club are part powered by human power
- Italian inventor Lucien Gambarota says human power is simple to use

- The concept could be taken to busy places like train stations or into homes

- There are some questions about the economic sense of human power

This immediately reminded me of Romano Scarpa's "Zio Paperone e l'indagine Foxan" (I TL 1259-A , http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1259-A) : Scrooge asks Gyro to create small capacitors that store the energy harvested from everyday movements; he plans to imbed them in clothes, watches, ...
Filo Sganga / Jubal Pomp, who was eavesdropping, suggests Scrooge to hire Brigitta and him to make a survey before considering mass production.
As it turns out, this "traditional electricity"-saving solution raises economic issues.

I would like to hear from you if possible. My name is Margi and I live in
Cape Town South Africa. My mum (stepmother) was the daughter of Wilfred
Haughton, the artist who worked for Walt Disney.

My parents have passed away and my mum left me all drawings and etchings
done by my granddad, as well as Mickey Mouse annuals etc that he drew. They
are obviously very old and I have some amazing cards, sketches, and drawings
where he was putting ideas onto paper.

As kids, we used to watch him making his puppet movies in our garage - and
in fact, I still have his original movie camera (with a receipt of purchase
dated 1956), as well as his film reels. (Have not had a chance to view
them.) My mum and I used to help him make clothes for his puppets. He
designed the first puppets not requiring "strings", but foam moulded with
wires inserted in the foam bodies and limbs, to enable him to move the arms,
legs, head and torso, frame by frame giving the impression of flowing
movement. He used to call them "bendy dolls".

My kids used to sit with him at his desk, which I now have, and he used to
show them how to draw Mickey mouse and goofy. Kept them occupied for ages.

We are still busy going through all his stuff which was stored in my
parent's basement. My mum only passed away a year ago so it has taken us a
while to go through everything, and needless to say there is plenty to go
through.

Please feel free to contact me should have anything you would like to know.

Regards

Hello, everyone:

It's five years or so that I'm not a Zio Paperone subscriptor anymore. Anyway, I felt sad when I've noticed today that Disney Italia is closing this magazine.

Since I've not quite understood the reasons why, could anyone make a comment or post some link or article about this subject? (I can read Italian). I would be very thankful.

Cheers,

Santiago.

Joakim Gunnarsson just published a very interesting?post?at his blog, discussing coloring and color gradients in comic books (and especially in Disney comics). Considering the?exceptional differences in coloring, choice of colors and the use of gradients?between different countries and publishers, it's definitely something to consider before deciding what issues to get for your collection.
