I think some of the lists are still 'under construction'. You should make that
clear to the newcomers. (Or is Rich's list complete now?)

Maybe you could also add some Frequently Asked facts about Don Rosa, why he
went to Gutenberghus etc. It was on this list once, but also several times
on rec.arts.comics or rec.arts.disney.

Not much more. I think there was a comic called Sebastian, but I'm not sure.

   Hello, fellow Barxists!

   I have most of the Gladstone magazines, but I never read them. That is 
because whenever I remember something wonderful never know *which* magazine 
it is.

   The obvoius solution would be if there is an index for them - is there?

I don't know if he ever was referred to as a chicken in a story, but
I've seen Barks himself refer to him as a chicken *outside* the
stories, at least in the following quote:

	"But I only figured on using him once in a very great while.
	 If I had known that I was going to have to do a book of Gyro
	 stories, I would have made him about the same size as Donald
	 or Uncle Scrooge, so that he could have been handled more

	 difficult to work him into the same panels as the ducks."

I guess they had my address because I've bought Alberto Becattini's

I'm rushing out to buy it immediately.  CU later!

Of course that 13 was a typo (thanks Harry).  It should have been 130

for it to arrive.  When I ordered the index book on Disney newspaper

I wrote several letters asking if they had got my money for the book,

I let this pass first, as I thought someone else might answer, e.g.,
Hannes, who's made a list of Barks in Gladstone comics, that looks
like this:

>US215	A Cold Bargain(26.75)
>	'Quarter on the hillside'(1)
>	'Tepee gag'(1)

That is for every Gladstone book it lists the stories with title and
number of pages.

There's also a Gladstone Barks index in The Barks Collector #42, with
two parts.  First sorted by Gladstone book, like this:

> Ducktales  13        The Nose Knows (Gyro-gag-art)         GGOS 1184
>                      A Spicy Tale                          US 39
>                      Pin-Up (inventor Gyro)                GGOS 1047

and then sorted by the original source, like this:

> MOC 4                Maharajah Donald                      DD 279
>                      The Peaceful Hills                    DDA 4

but that one is not available in computer-readable form.  But that's
only Barks of course --- a total Gladstone index would be nice to
have, but I don't know of any.  How about making one as a joint
effort?  People could tell the list "I'm doing Mickey Mouse #219-240"
(as an example) before they start on it, to avoid doing the same thing
as someone else.  We also need to decide on a common format.  I'd like
something that is

 o Easily machine-readable so that one can write programs to make
interesting searches in it or to present it in another form.

 o But still human-readable without conversion.

 o Flexible, so that one can insert new information later on that we
didn't think would be there earlier.

Maybe just something like tag1:value1 tag2:value2 ...?

Any opinions?

   Well I'm just interested in the Barks stuff - do people really read the 
rest? I think I would be most happy with the BC42 index, since I have
a pretty good grasp of when the story I look for was made. If you just
send me copies of it I can "pay" for it by punching the data into a
computer. Or should I buy the full magazine?

Yes, they do. Well, I mean: I do. Have you never read the Rosa/Van Horn/Gott-
fredson/Jippes/Milton/Scarpa/Rota/Murry stories? Then you missed something..

I have a proposal for a 'working scheme':

1. Hannes sends me his title list.
2. I fill in the Barks codes. I'll also add the Dutch (H-)code-stories (from
   the list Per mailed a few weeks ago), the Rosa stories and the stories
   from the comics I have (not so many, I'm afraid)
   (This would take me 1/2 weekend or 2 evenings, I guess)
3. Per checks this list by looking at the TBC #42 list.
4. Anybody else fills in the gaps, sequentially, so no double work is done.

About the format: I don't know. I always worked with 1-item-a-row, where the
position indicates the attribute. E.g.: position 1-3: number of pages, 4-14:
story code, 15-17: artist (abbreviated), 18-21: writer if not =artist, 22-..
story title or 'description' from Gladstone's credits. Something like the
H-coded-stories list of Per.

This looks very useful to me. What do you think? Would other people want such
a list? Hannes, would you mail me your list? (Maybe you posted it to r.a.d.
some time, but I have never seen it)

Hi there,

I just sent my Gladstone lists to Harry. They contain only the Barks and
Don Rosa stuff, but it's a start.

And I have access to my collection again, so I can look up the Gladstone stuff
if needed.

Another question concerning these lists:
How about putting this stuff on a ftp server, gopher server, wais server ? I
can try to get a little bit space for this on one of our servers (no guarantees
though...), but it would be helpful to know the size we would need for our
stuff. Does anyone want to try an estimate (Harry, Per ?) ?

Message-ID: <715890515.650000.AREID@MARY.FORDHAM.EDU>

First off let me say I'm a Duck fan, even though I can't remember every little
Barks story.  I'm not what you call a "Barks Collector", but I love his stories
and therefore was the first to get to my comic store to buy the Gladstones!

My whole point is: Even though I was am a Barks Duck fan I also loved the other
disney stories!  The F.G. (Can't spell his name!) Mickey Mouses, Goofy shorts
and all the other non-Barks ducks are just as important and readable to me.

I think that we should be careful.  We should continue to express our love
for Barks' and Rosa's Ducks, but that is not all this list is for! This is 
the Disney comics discussion list... not the Barks/Rosa discussion list.

If someone asks for a Gladstone index we shouldn't assume he means Barks
ducks only.

This note isn't meant to be nasty, just a reminder :)

   OK, I exaggerated a bit. I actually tried hard to read all stories, since
I had vought the magazine. Mostly it was real boring, but sometimes it was
good fun. I especially like the Jippes/Milton/Rosa stories. But I *never*
remember something incredible from them that I jaus have to look up again.

   So I guess I should have written "do people really reread the rest?".
After all, rereading is what you need an index for.

1. The Gladstone list

I mailed the Gladstone list to Per Starback (as I promised).


2. Don Rosa

I bought the Don Rosa album this week. Some points of interest (also for our
Rosa list):

. The book is comic-sized, i.e. smaller than the graphic novels Gladstone
  makes.

. The book is called "Walt Disney's Donald and Scrooge" (that's all).

. Rosa drew a new cover for it, loosely related to 'The Money Pit'. Disney
  gave the cover the code KJ8C33-1 (quite a ridiculous code 8-)

. The stories that were mentioned in the Rosa list are indeed reprinted here:
  Money Pit, Xanadu, Glass, Landscapist, Stolen Time, Tower. Note that the
  ads for this book state that 'Incident at McDuck Tower' was never reprinted
  before. It was actually reprinted in Uncle Scrooge 268.

. The 3 covers for Money Pit, Xanadu and Glass are reprinted (small size) in
  this book.

. On the inside back cover, Don Rosa wrote an afterword. In it, he explains
  how he got the ideas for the stories in the book. Some quotes:

  "Several of my Duck adventures have been reworkings of my old fan comics
  which I originally pictured as Duck adventures but into which I reluctantly
  substituted my own characters. Eventually I'll rework *all* my old stories
  into Duck adventures!" [Incident at McDuck Tower is one of them.]

  "I must acknowledge the debt I obviously owe Unca Carl. Every Duck story
  I produce owes its very existence to that unmatchable body of work produced
  by 'The Old Master'! In fact, (..) find the *dedication* hidden in every
  Duck story I've ever done. In each splash panel you'll find a 'D.U.C.K.',
  meaning 'Dedicated to Unca Carl from Keno' (Keno being my actual first
  name). For the first few tales I did for GPS [Gutenberghus], the editors
  removed the dedication from the art (until I explained to them what it
  was... and *hid* it better). So you'll only find the 'D.U.C.K.' in the
  first two stories [Money Pit, Xanadu] and the last story [Tower] in this
  volume. I also hid it in the new *cover*. Fair enough?"

My ultimate goal is to have The Total Index (TM) of all Disney comics
*ever* *anywhere*, with lots of information on every one of them (like
where it has been reprinted, what characters appear, where one can
find references to that story, the layout of the pages, different
opinions on who inked it and the sources for those credits when there
is disagreement, etc. etc.  (Yeah, keep on dreaming.)  That would take
up lots of space, but back here in the real world we won't need that
much.  I won't hazard a guess though.

Darin Reid:

I don't know if I'd pass the "collector test" either.  I have lots of
stuff, especially Swedish ducks, but I almost never get any new books
to the collection any longer.  (I certainly keep what I have, though!)

F.G. = Floyd Gottfredson.  Yeah, I too like lots of other artists as
well.  I think it was sad that Gladstone didn't reprint more good
Donald Duck stories by other than Barks, instead of printing so many
inferior Gutenberghus stories with Donald (although I have to admit
there were a few good ones too).  I sorta liked Gladstone's digests,
as there were many "other artists" represented in them.

Of course (?) I reread Barks's stories much more often than any other
Disney stories, but once in awhile I search for some other story, and
that's much harder because there aren't as many indices and other
stuff around as there are for Barks.

Harry Fluks:
> I mailed the Gladstone list to Per Starback (as I promised).

Yep, I've checked it now, and will post it following this.

Thanks for the info.  Looks like I have to get this one.

The Gladstone Barks list
=========================
Harry added the original publications of the stories to Hannes's list,
and then I checked it against TBC #42 and made some corrections.

This is supposed to be a complete listing of Barks stories in
Gladstone books, except the digests (as they weren't in Hannes's list.
(If noone else does it, I will probably add them later in my copious
free time.)

Covers are not included, and that goes for other non-story contents
too, with some exceptions.  That will probably be added later too.

The ones that were published in America are listed in the Rosa List (posted
here recently; latest version available from Per Starback). I posted a mail
about the Rosa Book that was issued this month. As far as I know, that's all
that appeared in English up to now (and I regularly check the new Disney
comics in my Amsterdam comic book store).

But what about new Scandinavian Rosa stories?

Harry> But what about new Scandinavian Rosa stories?

I still don't check new Swedish Disney books that often, so I don't
know.  I now have the Danish Rosa index in Carl Barks & Co. #19
though, and there I found one story that we haven't mentioned here
before: D 91076 "Super Snooper Strikes Again".  I've been looking
around for recent back issues with Rosa, but haven't found that one
yet (6/92), so I don't know what it is.  It seems to be an allusion to
WDC 107 (Super Snooper) though.

Then of course Rosa's working on this ten(?)-part epos on Scrooge
McDuck's early life.  I think the Swedish translator has already
translated some parts of it, so it won't be too long before we see
them here.

Funny. I was just about to ask 2 questions about Rosa. The first about a Super
Snooper followup: in Holland, I saw an ad for next month's issue of 'DD Extra'
with such a story. Since it is a Barks followup, it had to be a Rosa story...
(when will Rosa stop writing followups?)
The story will be published here in october.

The second question was about Scrooge's youth. I sent your message about
Rosa working on Scrooge's youth to my Dutch pen pal Daniel van Eijmeren
months ago. It also mentioned that Rosa let Scrooge and Magica de Spell meet
long before they really met.
Daniel now replied to me that he didn't like the idea, and even doesn't like
Magica at all (well, there are a few good stories with her, but overall, we
could do without her). (Note: this is Daniels opinion, not mine.)
Since your message was a few months old, I wondered if it was still accurate.
Now I know the answer. I can't wait to see the result.

I know of one follow-up to a Barks story that is not by Rosa.
Remember the end of Micro-Ducks From Outer Space, where the
micro-ducks set off for their home planet, and promise to return in
eight years?  That story was published 1968 in Scandinavia, and
someone must have remembered it, because there was a Gutenberghus
story (story by Gutenberghus-knows-who, art by Vicar) where they *did*
return -- D 3829.  Unfortunately it wasn't published until 1977 (KA
31/77 in Sweden).

As to the series on Scrooge's youth I don't know much about it, but I
think some of the silent lurkers on this list have read the synopses
to them -- care to share some interesting tidbits of information with
us?

Here are some other things on Rosa from the interview with Geoffrey
Blum in Carl Barks & Co. #19 (translated from the Danish translation):

  "The first two things from Rosa I saw were 'Ghast Cow' and
   'The Money Whirl Pool' or whatever its name was.  Byron rejected
   it, he didn't like it.  He tought it was too much like an older
   story.  Even Byron thought the ending was too sentimental.  Rosa
   also wanted to do a story where Huey, Dewey, and Louie set up to
   look for their real parents, but fortunately Byron rejected that
   one too."

"The Money Whirl Pool" is really "The Money Pit" which Disney accepted
when they asked Rosa for a story, but what on earth is "Ghast Cow"?

I wonder if Rosa will try to make that HDL's parents story for
Gutenberghus.

Both the Barks story and the Vicar follow-up were published in Holland in the
80s, two years apart. In the Barks story, it would last 8 years before the
micro-ducks could return. In the Vicar story however, they stated that the
micro-ducks invented a faster way to travel...

What makes you think this? Are there Gutenberghus employees member of this
list? 8-)

I hope _not_.

BTW: In Holland, they have made a very interesting story about the Junior
Woodchuck's Guide (term?). The nephews try to find out who _wrote_ it...
(I won't tell how the story ends).

Subject: Barks cover "Hammocks"
Message-ID: <9209161552.AA27281@athena.research.ptt.nl>

One week ago, the Dutch "complete works of Carl Barks" was issued. 17 books,
black and white, Dutch translation of all Barks stories (except when he did
only the script. The script-only stories will be saved for book 18, that may
appear in 2 years, when and if Daan Jippes has inked them).
Actually, the title of the series is "Donald Duck - Alle Klassieke Verhalen"
("All classic stories"). The price is about 1/4 of the 1990 price of the CBL.

I helped to make sure that *all* Barks material was reprinted. Most of the
covers, sketches, model sheets etc. are copied from The Carl Barks Library.

One cover sketch could not be found in the Library. It is a pencil drawing that
Barks identified as "Hammocks" (Donald and the nephews are hanging one
above another in hammocks).

Dutch editor Thom Roep had an inked version of this cover, inked by Ulrich
Schro"der. He said he didn't have the original Barks pencil. So, the inked
version is published in the 17-books-series.

I would like to have (a copy of) the original Barks pencil drawing.

So, question: does anyone know if that drawing is published somewhere, possibly
in a Scandinavian or German Donaldistic magazine?
(if so, how could I get a copy?)

Thank you for reading this.

Hmm...  This sounds like as bit of a license on the part of the Dutch
translator.  It should have taken them four years just to get back to
Micro with their old ship.  I guess these new faster ships must have
met them on their way home and docked with them. :-)

The source would rather be Don Rosa himself than Gutenberghus.

Dunno.  My only guess is that whoever transcribed that interview got it
wrong.  Could it be "Cash Flow"?  Not very sound-a-like, but it's the
closest thing I can think of.

I guess I'm disapproving too, but somehow it would still be fun to see
what he would make of it.  As long as they don't really find them...

Sounds interesting, but I always figured there wasn't one person who
wrote it, but rather that it was a collaborative work by woodchucks
all over the world.  There is some Barks story where HDL try to look
something up, and don't find it in the Guidebook.  They say "that
means that noone every knew about it" or words to that effect, and
later add that they will mention this to their superior so that it can
be added to later editions of the Guidebook.  Do I remember this
right?  I can't remember what story it was, so I can't check it.

I don't think I've seen it anywhere else than the Ulrich Schr"oder
inked version as the cover of Hamburger Donaldist #50 (Dec. 1984).
Maybe you should try contacting Ulrich?  He must have (had) access to
it.

I actually meant the story 'The money pit'. Byron said it was too much like an
old story. I wondered what old story that could be.

I don't know now, but maybe I can look it up. My first guess is a Junior
Woodchuck (script-only) story. Probably wrong.

Subject: Huey, Dewey, and Louie
Message-ID: <9209241219.AA00457@Minsk.DoCS.UU.SE>

The question on who's who of Huey, Dewey and Louie came up in
rec.arts.disney.  This was my contribution:
======================================================================
Rich Bellacera <rich.bellacera at amail.amdahl.com>:
> [...] The truth is is that they *are* seperate characters.  Each has o
> has only a slightly different characteristic, but different none the less.

Harry Fluks <harry at dnlunx.research.ptt.nl>:
> Nonsense. You can't tell the character of an individual by the color of
> his shirt. H, D and L are fully interchangeable. Their cloth colors fully
> depend on the (dozens) different color artists (especially in the comics).

Of course *everything* about them "fully depend on" the different
artists, including their looks, their clothes, their lines and their
personalities.

The problem with the colouring in the comics is that it's so
inconsistent.  Maybe the nephews exchange their caps between panels,
but even that won't explain the whole of it, as they sometimes
exchange colours when they are apart from each other. 8-)

The colouring in the animated shorts have always been better, but the
red-blue-green thing was invented in comics, so you won't find it in
the classical cartoons.  Instead they wore different colours in
different cartoons, very often red.  In their first cartoon ("Donald's
Nephews") they wore red, orange and green.  In DuckTales they are
consistent about it, as Steven P. Calica <spc55721 at uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>
already has pointed out: Huey red, Dewey blue, and Louie green.

Different character or not?  Of course they are *supposed* to be
exactly like one another, but if you look through several episodes
where they do different things and you know which one does what, maybe
you could find some unintentional (on the part of the writers)
different character traits anyway?

This is what Dan Haley tried to do in "A Who's Who of Huey, Dewey &
Louie" published in the fanzine The Barks Collector #11 (1979).  He
doesn't only use those situations where one of the boys is explicitly
named, but all of that story as well, as he assumes that they wear the
same colours throughout a story at least.  I wouldn't trust the
colourists that much...

When he initially looked through his Barks collection to find
instances where a nephew with a cap or outfits of some particular
colour was named, he found the following:

		Huey	Dewey	Louie
	Red	5	6	8
	Green	5	4	6
	Blue	1	8	3

(He only used stories by Carl Barks, but of course Unca Carl didn't
colour his stories himself.)

Rich again:
> Several years ago a comic book story had Grandma Duck knitting sweaters
> for each of the ducklings.  One each she knitted the first letter of their
> names.  H = Red, D = Blue and L = Green.  This story was written back in
> the sixties so the link between the Grandma Duck story and the Ducktales
> story verifies that Dewey is still in blue.

Harry again:
> Pure coincidence.

Maybe, but I'm not totally convinced.  It wouldn't surprise me if at
least some of the colourists had their opinions on what colours the
boys wear, and it would be very easy to follow that opinion in the
sweater example.  I guess the problem for the colourists was that they
didn't have the time to actually read the stories, and you had to do
that to keep track of the boys.  I'd like more data on the colouring
in scenes such as the sweaters episode Rich mentioned where the
colourists are bound to have noticed which boy the gave which colour.

O.K. Disney fans!

ITEM!  Coming soon to a comics shop near you from Disney Comics:

DINOSAURS a comic based on the popular T.V. show of the same name from
Henson-Disney Productions. I'm not sure if this is a "one-shot" comic or to
be a continuing series.

ALADDIN a graphic novel version of the movie of the same name.

New to DISNEY ADVENTURES comicstrips: GOOF TROOP.  The second and third
stories appeared in the latest issue VOLUME 3, Number 1 (why do they keep
doing that "volume thing?"). It is my hope that they will soon treat us to
all new stories about BONKERS & Fawn Deer and The MARSUPILAMI in the pages
of DISNEY ADVENTURES and COLOSSAL COMICS COLLECTION.

INQUIREY:

A short while ago it was suggested that Donald's automobile should be
considered a full fledged "character" in my listing of "Re-ocurring
Characters." What name/number or whatever was it called?

This list has grown a little, especially in light of all the new Disney
Afternoon and Saturday Morning cartoons.

Is it too early to repost that list (with the suggested corrections)?

Also, are there any "other" additional characters that anyone believes I
should add since the last posting?

your help is valuable.  :)

Just go ahead and post, as far as I'm concerned.
I can't think of any more additional characters, at least not until I
see the current state of it.

This list has been prepared by Richard Bellacera.

      LISTING OF PAST & PRESENT DISNEY'S DTA & DC REOCCURING CHARACTERS

This listing is a fairly exhaustive compilation of current and recent, new and
some old Disney Characters based on the "mainstream" characters (i.e. Mickey,
Donald, Pluto, etc.), Syndicated cartoons (i.e. Ducktales, Tailspin, etc.), to
include subordinate characters with re-occuring roles.  This list is probably
not as complete as I'd like it to be and I welcome any possible suggestions,
alterations, etc. you may have (no flames please).  Some are Comic book/strip
related. Also, some characters like Donald Duck, Goofy, Bad Pete & Launchpad
fit several groupings so I limited their entry to the main grouping I believe
best suits them (except where the category disclaimer applies).  Characters
identified by a ~ mark have only appeared in comics thus far.

      DTA = Disney Television Animation        DC = Disney Comics

CHIP 'n DALE RESCUE RANGERS:

Chip Chipmunk (1 tooth/blk nose) Fat Cat           Mr. Klordane

Zipper the Fly                   Snout (rat)       Plato the Policedog

(NOTE:  Chip 'n Dale were originally created as foils for Donald, but due to
tremendous requests they were soon granted their own cartoon shorts.  Now,
however they have graduated to a syndicated program.
Since most early accounts have Chip 'n Dale encountering Donald Duck it is
possible that they reside somewhere just outside or near Duckburg, though
their interaction with "humans" might actually suggest some other locale).

TALESPIN:

Baloo Bear                Louie the Ape      Shere Kahn
Kit Cloudkicker           Don Karnage        Buffy Van der Schneer
Rebecca Cunningham        Gibber             Hacksaw

Wildcat                   Ratchet            Sergeant Dunder

(NOTE:  The main characters of Baloo, Louie and even Shere Kahn originated
from the Disney classic THE JUNGLE BOOK.  It would appear that the role of
Mowgli has been replaced by Kit since he and Baloo use the familiar
affectionate nicknames of "Lil' Britches" and "Pappa Bear".
Rebecca manages an airfreight agency under the name "Higher for Hire" in the
city by the sea, Cape Suzette.  Baloo & Kit fly the plane The SeaDuck for the
Agency.  Louie the Ape manages a tavern and Shere Kahn is a magnate).

(NOTE: This is the first "spin-off" series, having its roots in DUCKTALES.
Originally it was conceived as a James Bond-type show based on the character
"Double-0 Duck" that appeared in Ducktales, and the plan for Launchpad to move
to the new series was set from the start.  D.W. and the rest are residents of
the the spralling metropolis of St. Canard).

(NOTE:  Characters/names identified by an "*" signify names that do not
necessarily apply to the series GOOF TROOP, but they were included since they
are definitely part of Goofy's career in both animation and comics.  "@"
signifies the name by which Goofy was originally called during the beginning
of his career in both animation and comics, only later was it changed to
Goofy.  "#" signifies a name which Disney called Goofy in the many shorts
where he portrayed Mr. Average Middle-American Suburbanite.  SuperGoof is his
superhero name whenever he wears his red longjohns/blue cape after eating his
Super Goobers <peanuts> he keeps under his hat).   The premise of show GOOF
TROOP seems to be Goofy is a single father raising his son Max.  GOOF TROOP
picks up on the long-standing fued between Goofy & Bad Pete.  Pete is married
and he & his wife, Peg have two children P.J. and Pistol.  Max & P.J. are
best friends, and Max is a little uneasy about being known as Goofy Junior.
Traditionally Goofy has always lived in the same hometown as Mickey, but
according to the new series Goofy has moved to Spoonerville.

him to team-up with the human, Miranda Wright).

Maurice the Ape      Fantasio~     Norman(?)


(NOTE: RAW TOONAGE is a variety showcase presenting cartoon shorts and music

*******************************CUT HERE***************************************

The above listing still has several gaps.  If anyone has any comments of
corrections or even additions I would be happy to discuss them.

Please keep in mind the three qualifiers I have for this list is:

1) the character has appeared in a comic or cartoon more than twice, and/or
2) the character is above average in importance to other characters on the
   list (which may remove the necessity of qualifier #1).
3) Characters should not be included just because they are someone's favorite
   if they have had only one appearance and then are forgotten.

Thank you.  Your input would be most welcome.

-Rich

P.S. Perhaps this list could qualify as a means to prevent some FAQs in the
     future?
