My Egmont references on WWW with permission

[9475609@arran.sms.ed.ac.uk]

      That's right... With permission from Stefan Printz-Pahlson at 
Egmont, I have made a few of the new Egmont documents available on our 
WWW page.  Just the ones I've written.  They are posted at this site 
with the agreement that they are NOT to be published or distributed in 
any other way.  They are copyrighted Egmont property, and are mainly 
here as a reference for our Egmont contingent (you there, folks?) but 
everyone can probably profit from them.
      _The Donald Duck Universe Guide_ and _The Mickey Mouse Universe 
Guide_ are Egmont's official versions for now.  Both of these are 
l-o-n-g guides listing all the places and characters, major and minor, 
in most Barks/Rosa Duck stories and Gottfredson Mickey stories 
(excepting some of the later Bill Walsh-written ones).  It works like 
this:  Let's say you're writing a story set in a certain region (the 
wilderness, for example) and you'd like to make it "canonical" with 
references to, or characters from, old stories.  Just look in the guide 
and BING!  You'll learn about your main character's experiences in the 
region and who he/she knows there.
      _The Mickey Mouse Universe Guide Part 2:  Character Humor 
Mechanics and Relationships_ has not yet been edited at Egmont and may 
not be for a while, but I got permission to post this tentative version.  
The same goes for the character guide to Butch (which Egmont must agree 
with most of, because I've characterized Butch just this way in my new 
stories).
      You can find all this stuff at:

      No matter what I've been told now, if Egmont begins to object to 
what I'm putting up on WWW for any reason, it's gonna get yanked, folks, 
so enjoy it while you can.  I'm not about to cause myself to get fired.

And it took Disney-Burbank just seconds... >sigh<  In American US 290, 
the bottom of that elephant's foot looks like... well, the bottom of an 
elephant's foot.

Wak!  I hope those two incidents aren't connected.  What I like about 
the Beagle Boys is that they're remarkably friendly for villains.  
They're likeable villains, even when they get mean (as in US 7 and 8, 
which I have a hunch was an experiment because they're never such 
"traditional" villains anywhere else).  They're "The Terrible Beagle 
Boys," but they only pose a threat to Scrooge's MONEY.  They wouldn't 
kill SCROOGE, because they'd rather enjoy having him shine their shoes 
once they've defeated him.  Did you really have the Beagle Boys kill 
Scrooge to get his money?
>Daisy ... has an accident/aborts future egg
That shouldn't be hard to do.  Scrambled, or sunny side up?  ;-)
