Rumpus McFowl, Barks tribute books, italian stories, Angelo's website, Fernando

Olivier:
I've read a Rumpus McFowl story where Rumpus comes back to the money bin 
(the THIRD time ever I read about him) followed by a sleezy lawyor and says 
that he has the legal right to get half of $crooge's money... Here, he 
reveals a long-time-secret letter written by Rumpus' mother which tells the 
full relationship $crooge has to Rumpus (whether this was DURING Fergus' 
marriage to Downy O'Drake or BEFORE/AFTER it (which maybe is impossible 
because of Rumpus' age)). I don't believe in the existanse of Rumpus McFowl, 
but for anybody who do, I recommend that story. (I don't remember the 
title...)

Timo:
There has been a Barks tribute book in Norway containing 10 of his bst 
stories. I guess it's the same book as in Sweden and Denmark (only in a 
different language...)

Søren / Francesco:
I must agree that most Italian storys are very bad. Most of the stories in 
the Norwegian "Donald Pocket" are Italian, and I find the quality of these 
very bad. The drawings are, in my opinion, very bad, and the scripts 
themselves don't impress me much. Mainly because in my Disney Universe 
(which I've already told you about a thousand times) this stories are 
FUTURE! There are no such things as cellular phones, hi-teck jeeps or 
millennium celebrations in the mid-50s!

Fernando, here's a funny story about you:
When you said that you're a story writer yourself, I thought "Oh my god, 
where have I heard his name before? I must have read thousands of Fernando 
stories!" I went to the store to buy the newest Donald Duck & Co, and 
searched the entire magazine for stories signed "Fernando". I found none. 
Then I made an internet search to find out which stories you had written - 
so that I could think back on them and think "Oh my god, THAT was Fernando? 
Wow, I remember that story, it was good..." When I found out that you have 
only written Jose Carreras-stories that never has been released in Norway, I 
was a little bit embarrased... I have no idea who I mixed you up with...


I will agree to all of you that has yelled at Angelo Toti; what Angelo did 
was a rude and terrible thing to to. By the way, I am working on a webpage 
right now that will be in Norwegian. I have not decided yet whether it will 
be a Don Rosa-site or a Disney Comics-site, but I WILL gather -some- 
information on other sites on the net - without being a copyist. I will also 
refer to all my sources, have a personal angle on most of it, rewrite 
everything, lay my own design on it and send mails to every source I use to 
ASK for permission. Have you thought about doing that, Angelo? What you did 
was terrible!

BTW: It feels SO cool to finally be part of a serious mailing list! To get 
all these mails about something I really care about... it's
something I've never experienced before! Thanks to all of you!!!
