Thanks for your answer, Don! I'll have to check up on those D.U.C.K.s...

Which is a confirmation that you _did_ use that poem, I guess. And you may
be right about not using the dialect, if people wouldn't recognize is as that.

In one quite recent message from one of our italian list members. It was
worded more or less like a fact, if I'm not mistaken. Sorry I deleted the
message and can't remember who it was, but could you (mr. italian) perhaps
repeat and elaborate the issue?

I would include Spirou, Gaston and Lucky Luke among those, too. And the
Phantom (not the americanized version!) is also quite popular. That is a
comic that has even more prehistory to consider all the time than Lo$ and
the "Rosa Duck universe", because it has been written more or less as a tale
of "real time and facts" for quite many years (was that understandable?).
