Uh, e perchè mai? Tra parentesi, ho lollato anch'io...

perché?
ho detto qualcosa di stupido, o di scontato? [

ma quando mai, anzi è una bella frecciatina!

mah, io mi stavo chiedendo se il Don conosce veramente Topolino io proprio non so se non l'ha mai utilizzato perché gli sta antipatico o perchè, dopo la pubblicazione nei quotidiani, gli americani non hanno più ristampato Gott in qualche pubblicazione di larga diffusione...

Mi permetto di anticipare l'eventuale risposta di Don Rosa, linkando un vecchio sito , ormai in abbandono (a cura dei nostri amici Samuele e Quackmore ), dove si faceva luce proprio su questo punto, e sull'ipotesi di un Don esclusivamente scrittore (vedere in basso). Ovviamente spero che ne possa venire fuori un quadro più completo, dopo l'intervento dello stesso Don.

Approfitto del post per fare una domandina a "Keno" anch'io:

Independently from the prosecution of your career, you have never reckon with to explore more the character Della Duck?

As perhaps you will know, in fan fiction on the web much people its has said...

Forse non dovrei rispondere, se così facendo ti tolgo il privilegio di una risposta dall'interessato in persona, ma sono cose che Leonardo Gori ed io gli chiedemmo tredici anni fa e che sono riportate nel nostro libro, che ritengo tutt'ora valido anche se fu editorialmente sfortunato (la casa editrice Comic Art fallì qualche anno dopo).

Ci disse appunto, con un certo imbarazzo, che non conosceva Gottfredson; perché quando era piccolo in America non lo ristampavano e, quando invece la Gladstone iniziò a ristamparlo, Don aveva smesso di leggere i comics.

Oltre a quanto riportato in quell'intervista (pag 47 per chi avesse il libro, che a volte ancora si trova in fumetteria), aggiungo: di sicuro gli sta antipatico il Topolino carino e melenso del merchandising alla Disney Store, ed è a quello che di tanto in tanto giocava qualche tiro birbone nelle sue tavole; ma purtroppo il Topolino vero, quello che piace a noi, il grande Topolino della linea Gottfredson - Walsh - Scarpa (e anche, aggiungo volentieri, Casty), per intenderci, è un personaggio che non conosce affatto.

Hi Don.
One cammeo in my collection to original art! 8-)

the Italian style of Disney art is DRASTICALLY different from the American/Northern European style that is the only type I'd ever known.

When you say American/Northern European style do you really mean the BARKSIAN style used by Egmont and Dutch artists? I don't think the other American artists from 50's and 60's were  generally closer to Barks's style than the italian artists from the same years (for example Bottaro was more "barksian" than Murry or Hubbard).
I must also say that having you here is great: your Life and Times brought me back to Disney comics as an adult.

I checked in for a moment...

An excellent question from "freidhelm", one I'm often asked by European Disney comics fans:
>>>>>Have you ever read Gottfredson's comics? Didn't your sister collect them too?

No, she did not, because there WEREN'T any. The only place that an American could ever have seen Gottfredson was in the newspaper strips when they were new (and we did not have the MM strip in the Louisville paper), or by seeing reprints of the MM strips in WDC&S (our WALT DISNEY'S COMICS & STORIES) #1-100, published in the 1940's. My sister's collection did not begin until late 1949 after the Gottfredson strip reprints ceased. So I grew up with the Paul Murry MM which was okay, but I never saw, never had a CHANCE of seeing any Gottfredson strips until Glasdtone reprinted them. And then I did not pay much attention because I was not interested in Mickey Mouse. I was told by several people how good the Gottfredson strips were, and I believed them... but... y'see, I am not a Disney comics fan. I'm a Carl Barks fan. Aside from Barks, I like hundreds of other sorts of comics, none of them Disney.
I've been to Italy enough times to know that you'll find this amazing, but you Italians have so much MORE knowledge of American comic history than Americans! You've always had reprints of all the classic American strips of the 1930s & 1940s. The average American has no idea that there has ever been anything in the newspaper other than crap like "Garfield" or all that modern sketchy nonsense. They have no idea would a RICH comics heritage we have. And they don't care. If it's not NEW and HOT, an American is not interested. Italians know more about the history of American movies also! Really, America is wonderful in many ways, but culturally it's a wasteland. One misses out on a LOT growing up in a wasteland.

Oops... I meant "feidhelm"! Sorry.

And from "gongoro":
>>>>>When you say American/Northern European style do you really mean the BARKSIAN style used by Egmont and Dutch artists?

Yes.

>>>>>> I don't think the other American artists from 50's and 60's were  generally closer to Barks's style than the italian artists from the same years (for example Bottaro was more "barksian" than Murry or Hubbard).

I wouldn't know anything about that having never seen the Italian comics of the 50's & 60's.

As perhaps you will know, in fan fiction on the web much people its has said...

Non capisco, cosa volevi dire?


@ Don Rosa: maybe this can be helpful... if you have to quote a post, you can use the "Citazione" icon in the right corner; also, if you want to modify something in your own posts you can use the "Modifica" icon.

Intendo che, come nel caso del destino dei genitori di Paperino e Qui Quo Qua, le ipotesi in rete sono fioccate, se non sbaglio.

Il resto si è capito? [

leggendo l'ultimo post del Don, ho capito che una testata USA basata sulla nostrana Grandi Classici farebbe la fortuna di moltissima gente...

invece preferiscono importare DD o i WoM... beh contenti loro

Mi accodo alla richiesta di Pacuvio:

[size=12]@Don Rosa:[/size]
Have you ever think what happened to della duck? In fan fiction many people wrote about her too much!
Is maybe one of the character that you're not allowed to use? (this is also a Pacuvio's question)

Also, in fan fiction many people ("nerds without a woman", like vito's called them ) said that Dickie Duck (character created by Romano Scarpa as Goldie's grandchildren) was Scrooge's grandchildren too (to be precise: dickie would be daughter of Goldie-Scrooge's daughter!). This obviuosly fan fiction only, but I wanna know what you think about Dickie Duck (if you know her!).

thanks and excuseme for the hard questions.

As you will possibly know, many suppositions about her have been made in web fan fictions...




PdP93, tra poco ce ne sarà anche per te.

Muchas gracias.
