Gary Leach wrote that the cover of the new Boom Mickey Mouse Comics "were using the Gemstone logo". This logo is
nearly identical to the original title screen logo of the classic Mickey cartoons of Plane Crazy and Steamboat
Willy of 1929. Gemstone used this logo in 2003 after a lapse of 10 years since the preceding Gladstone
second series of the 1990's did not make a Mickey Mouse comic book. The "modern" appearance of this logo
was in the Gladstone first series of the 1980's. Actually it was in this first series comic books that Gary Leach
was listed as giving his appreciated service to Disney fans as production assistant under Bruce Hamilton.

The "historic" appearance of this logo, again nearly identical to that of the classic cartoons, was on the cover of
the Mickey Mouse Magazine give-aways of the early 1930's. The first series was usually given away in Department
stories while the second series were give-aways for Diary companies in which Mickey also had gags promoting the
drinking of milk by kids. Subsequently with the third series of the Mickey Mouse Magazine, that was sold, and then the
regular series of the Mickey Mouse comic of the Dell, Gold Key, and Whitman eras, the cover logos were usually quite
different although a very few had some similarity.

Regarding the new Boom comic, I find their service by priority mail extremely good. The comic itself may not be
best preferred by those of us raised on the Gottfredson Mickey including the many reprints. However it does follow the
present trend of fantasy and super heroes ( from Harry Potter to the Disney/Pixar The Incredibles). The alternative for
Mickey in the media is not very bright with animation mostly just the pre-school Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with the
(atrocious?) 3D Mickey computer shape and printed matter with Mickey mainly as appears on childrens clothes
as well as underware for adults. We should all hope that Boom suceeds.

I don't know how many that reads this list anymore, but those of you who are
might be intersted to know that I recently bought a lot of unpublished Barks
plots and ideas etc.
The lot also included an unfinished Uncle Scrooge script from the early
60's. You can find more info on my blog http://sekvenskonst.blogspot.com

At least, this duck is still reading it. ;-) Thanks a lot for this interesting news!

Dear all,

I was just wondering whether one of the French list members would be
able to let me know how my signature quote ("Oh, bury me thar..." etc;
see below for full quote) from The Screaming Cowboy (La complainte du
pauvre cow-boy) is translated into French? I don't mean translated in
the sense of how to explain the meaning of the English quote, but what
the words of the song that Donald has written are in the French
translation.

Many thanks in advance,

/Mattias

Could we use the occasion & collective knowledge
of this esteemed group to have Donald Duck's
most successful song text ever in different translations?

I believe there are actually two Norwegian versions,
from different editions; the one I instantly recall is
as follows:

O, skjenk meg en grav
i det isgr?nne hav
og la b?lgene
kvele min gr?t!

(In particular, the guitar has been gently put away
in this version.)

The German version is as follows:

Und lieg ich der-einst auf der Bah-re
So denk auch an meine Gui-tah-re
und legt sie mir mit in mein Gra-hab

It has a something Herta M?ller-ish about it.
And indeed the D.O.N.A.L.D. organisation has
decided that

"Es soll sich ja niemand einfallen lassen,
irgendwo etwas gegen diese Hymne vorzubringen."

I wholeheartedly agree.
