It didn't slow down: the USA comics are available in Amsterdam 4 days
after they are issued.
But since I have almost all Gottfredson stories in a Dutch version, I
don't buy the USA versions. That's why I didn't read WDC&S 585.
(And, as I told you, it's an extra handicap in answering these quizzes:
I have to find a Dutch text that matches the English most...)

In fact, I do have some USA versions, because I bought the Gladstone book
"Mickey Mouse in Color".

No, I missed that one! I only got to buying Gladstone comics in 1989 or so,
so I missed a lot of 'early' Gladstones. I'm still looking for that MM one,
and some other comics with Rosa stories in them...

Correct (though it's published in Holland, too).

Well, in fact, I never *stopped* reading Gottfredson in the first place...
