What a stupid I am!
I've also 1 story starred by him...
I've forgotten King Ghilooley and his people too...

Why was Cornelius Coot running across Spaniards? Calisota was likely to be between the northern border of California and the southern border of Oregon. The Spaniards didn't settle north of Bodega Bay, and The Russians DID. I think Cornelius Coot was more likely to meet Russian fur traders (hunting otters), and, possibly British, than Spaniards. I don't "agree" with Rosa's "history of Duckburg". I believe Barks is the only "evidence". All other writers and artists (including myself) only reflect "conjecture".

I think you should ask Don Rosa...

Do you remember Ganderville?
According to me that city was founded by a Gladstone's great-grandfather, Wilfredson Gander.
I had invented that city in 2009, I think and I've introduced it in this Topic on 24th December 2009, in the first post.
Well, now Ganderville is a recognized city by Disney, it was used in 2010 by american author Patrick McGreal, in his The Ganderville Ghost, a probably parody of The Canterville Ghost. ;)

About the leprechaun Cornelius met - there's one story in which Donald meets him too:

Also, you speak of Ganderville, but what about Gooseville? Is it the same town/city, or are they different places?

That's the story I used to cite!

Gooseville is a town near Duckburg introduced by Carl Barks in 1951. ;)

Goosetown was used MUCH more than Gooseville. Goosetown was used by Barks as the rival city to Duckburg. Gooseville was only mentioned once or twice by Barks, while Goosetown was probly mentioned more than 15-20 times.

I think I've mixted the two town, thinking they are just one!

I get confused with the Goosecities. Why don't they just do it like in the Netherlands, just say Gansdorp (Goosevillage).

Well, if Barks reported of two different cities Gooseville and Goosetown, then there simply are two different cities Gooseville and Goosetown. Like Kirchrath and Herzogenrath. Or like Kerkrade and 's-Hertogenrade. ;)

I've asked Massimo Fecchi about Ganderville and he answered me:

"About Ganderville, authors didn't tell me if the city did exist or didn't, so, I searched it on the web and I found it! There were just a few photos and I used those just for a few angol shots.
Main views were invented by me.
Surely, I was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rebecca'."

Ps: Today it's my Birthday!

Offtopic:And also, the day Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown was supposed to travel to, before Marty found himself on November 5, 1955. (Back to the Future) Doc says he's going 25 years into the future. The day is said to be October 26, 1985. He did travel to the future later on, but he decided to change the date to October 27, 2015. That's today over 5 years.

Happy Birthday Simone even though it's a day late. What does Back To The Future have to do with this thread?

Nothing, it's just the same date. Didn't you see the [offtopic] marks?

Thank you, Roger!
I was surprised too to find "Back to the Future"'s stuff in this Topic...
