DON:
Have you ever heard of a treasure on Oak Island that can't be reached?
Maybe an idea for a Scrooge story?

I'm amazed that there are still people who _believe_ that stuff. Maybe a
lack of education? (followup in private mail)

JORGEN/DAVID:
The Dutch DD Weekly also has one Taliaferro strip every week. They seem
to colour them themselves, so I don't think they're the Egmont versions.

SHERLINE LEE:
I think one reason that we're not so much talking about Disney comics
published by Marvel is that we European maniacs don't SEE them that much.
At least the comic shops that sell USA comics in Holland only have
Gladstone's Disney comics, and the Dutch editors don't reprint Marvel
stories very often.

WES:
Talking about maniacs: there is at least one American maniac on the list:
David Gerstein. When he visited me two months ago, he amazed me by saying
a story or panel has been redrawn, when he only had a short look at it!

PER:
The Dutch must have gotten the word "pocket" from the Swedish, then. Like
we got kna"ckebro"d...

NEAL:
The Beagle Boys were introduced in a Barks story in WDC 134. He made that
story in 1951. I have no idea why the numbering is that way. But on
several occasions, Barks showed more than 6 Beagles, so there must have
been other numbers than permutations of 176.
