San Diego Con again, also USA 34

[Larry Gerstein]

        DWIGHT AND JANET:  Forgot to mention that my discussion panel will
be Friday the 28th, probably at 4:30 PM.  (There may be a scheduling change
that pushes it to 1:30, and I'll tell everyone soon when this happens.)

        UNCLE SCROOGE ADVENTURES 34 is in the shops now and contains a
story, "The Money-Counting Machine," that I translated (from German, even
though it's an Egmont story presumably first written in English) and
rewrote way back in 1991, which shows you just how long some things can
inexplicably stay on the shelf.  The title is Egmont's original;  (I had
suggested "In and Out").  I kinda liked how it ended up, so maybe you can
tell me what you guys think.  Barely changed at all from my original story,
although the balloon for page 6, panel 7 originally read "Is this trip
really necessary?"  
        Backing up "The Money-Counting Machine" is a Vic Lockman 17-page
story, "Beagle Bug-Off."  It includes the Beagle Brats, hundreds of
different-looking and different-named Beagle Boys, a hairy protest group
demanding civil rights for flies, and shows that Gyro is weak-minded
without his "thinking cap" (a huge hat that looks like a chimney, with
sleepy crows inside it who need to be awake for the hat to work).  I'm not
going to say any more...
