Could somebody please post a scan of the panel from "Donald Captures the Range Rustlers" (Murry; VP2, 1951) in which a letter show Scrooge's address as "Califrisco, Sanifornia"?

Maybe my first try for a long time in scanning and Internet publishing and then posting the image here it didn´t work in the last step, but I have a functioning link to the scan :

Sometimes the image can be seen on my computer, but not every time, fishy. When you go to the linked URL and then goes backward to this page the image appears here.

So, in addition to The McDuck Building on Quack Street in Duckburg, Calisota, Scrooge McDuck had another McDuck Building in Sanifornia, Califrisco. Sanifornia being the city, and Califrisco, the state. So, the Duck-World alternative USA has Calisota AND Califrisco as added states. Are we to assume that BOTH these states are formed out of OUR World's California-and BOTH are pieces of OUR Northern California, between a more-southerly centered, truncated California and Oregon? Or do we just reject Califrisco, as a miswritten address, as it wasn't generated by Barks?

The latter. Just makes it so much easier.

Thank you again, Runner! ;)

I thought that Murry (or the unknown writer of the story) meant "Sanifornia" to be Duckburg, only used once or twice so far by Barks.

"Califrisco" as Lower Califlowernia, Paperonia and Calidornia is, in my opinion, another name for "Calisota" or the state of the Ducks, whatever its name is.

In many Martina stories (mainly from '70s) is explixitely said that Duckburg is in California. Anyway, in Barks we know that Duckburg has a embassy and a consul; this would make Duckburg an independent city (as Barks did want) like the Vatican or San Marino.
