Quote from user: MilanoBill has just finished a new Rumpus 8-pager and will send it to Egmont these days.

Weather permitting, of course ? North Vancouver is experiencing the worst snowy winter in 28 years!

I guess it's not snowing anywhere in Israel now, eh?

It's not snowing but it's still raining... Hamas rockets.

Always if I´m writing a post to DCF on my girlfriend´s computer the flag of Israel appears. I cannot explain why, but now I´m back on my own Computer as you can see. :)=)

Egmont is now preparing the publication of Bill?s story "Nothing Like It" (D2008-123, 8 pages) in Europe. When Scrooge wakes up on a fine morning, he has a very traumatic experience ?
The translation into German will be done by Gerd Syllwasschy.

All Canada is winterly cold ? All Canada? No! It will heat up at a certain house in North Vancouver, for William Van Horn celebrates his 70th birthday today!
We wish you all the best, a nice party and tons of good luck for this round anniversary, Bill.
Lars Jensen
If you see this: happy birthday, Bill.

I'm very sorry I have missed this.
A very happy birthday, Mr Van Horn!
Thank you very much for your excellent stories!

Bill is at work on three new stories:
?Nose Job" (D2008-307 ? 9 pages ? Donald Duck)
?The Stick-Up" (D2008-308 ? 8 pages ? Uncle Rumpus)
?Coff It Up" (D2008-349 ? 10 pages ? Donald Duck)
?The Stick-Up" is the first comic featuring Rumpus McFowl as the title hero. Bill already finished it in January.

I really love me some Uncle Rumpus
Best addition to the canon Bill Van Horn has made since Baron Itzy Bitzy, the whistling flea. :)

Rumpus is the title hero in one of his stories? I remember there was a time where he wasn't even created yet.

Great news, friends! William Van Horn will base his next comic (D2009-123 - From Dawn 'Til Dusk - 10 pages) on a script written by Milano aka Peter Kowalewski!
After Peter had sent his final draft to Bill on April 4, Egmont's editor-in-chief Byron Erickson gave his thumbs-up on April 21. Bill got busy at once and finished his layout script on May 4. He largely kept to Peter's draft, jazzing up the dialogs with the typical Van Horn touch. Probably he is already drawing the story now.
The plot: The Ducks go to Knob Knocker Flats to search for an appropriate rock for the Junior Woodchucks' sculpture contest. Soon they meet a strange scientist ... That's all I'm gonna tell you about it. Just let me quote from a letter which I sent to Bill along with the first draft of Peter's script: "I think Peter is a natural talent. This is a real Van Horn if I ever saw one!"
Lars Jensen
Sounds promising. And congrats to Milano.
