of grandmas and grandpas...

Hi!!!
about the "other grandma" from W FGW 45-01, I already asked on this list if 
she should be considered as another grandma of Donald or the nephews 
(Hortense, for instance), but I have been answered that she is the grandma we 
know with a different design because she wasn't a regular character, yet... 
Then, for people who still think that she is hortense and who are only 
interrested in Barks/Rosa universe, it can't be her, as in "the sharpie of 
culebra cut", the nephew seem not to know her (Donald explains them who she 
is...).

about the grandpa Duck Rob mentionned , I had already noticed his existence, 
as I have the story where he is mentionned, but when I asked Sigvald why he 
doesn't mention this fact, he answered it was because, in his version, it's 
about *grandma's* horse, not grandpa's, so I thought it was just in the 
french version that it had been translated grandpa...

about Grandma being Donald's mother, and huey, dewey and louie's grandma, I 
don't think so, as i prefer Barks' version of the Family tree... And about 
her interrests in men, she has already been shown with a grandpa Duck in a 
story of Strobl, and in her younger days with Don Rosa's Humperdink Duck, and 
she also sometimes seems to "date" with Scrooge...

Then, in a lot of versions, and even in the TV show "this is your life, 
Donald Duck" (a show who seems to have inspired Tony Strobl; he seems to have 
liked draw comics version of the show, as he also did with "the goofy 
adventure story". Do you see other shows that have inspired Strobl?), Grandma 
Duck is said to have raised him at the farm.

PS: I just received "the Little Big Book of Disney" at my international 
library!!! and I'll receive "Sognando la Calidornia", about Scarpa, probably 
next week :-)
