My stories are published in Italy!

	I'm proud to tell our Italian readers that my work has been
presented in their native language for the first time.  WALT DISNEY
MEGA-2000 N. 464, alongside a whopping FOUR Hard-Haid Moe reprints,
featured my first two Egmont stories:

	"Two in One" = "Zio Paperone e il doppio pericolo"
	"Pork-Barrel Politics" = "I Maialini Addestrati"

	I'm still pretty pleased with the concepts for these stories,
but maybe I've advanced as a writer since then... the only way for
anyone to tell is to see my more recent stuff.  We live and learn, we
work, we mature.  (I just hope my recent stuff's better, not worse!)

	The stories have been cut-and-pasted to turn them from
eight-panel pages into six-panel pages.  Disney Italy also SWITCHED
two pages of "Pork-Barrel Politics" after they'd finished this
process;  pages 139 and 140 of MEGA-2000 N. 464 are in the wrong order
and the second one should be read first.
	The color's pretty good, I think.  It's a shame to see the
stories get so mutilated but -- hey, Mondadori did it to Barks and
Gottfredson, so why not to me?  ;-)

	So go on, Fabio, buy a thousand copies, tell Disney Italy why
you did it, and then they'll put my stories into the ZIO PAPERONE with
Rosa and Rota and Jippes ;-) ;-) ;-)
