Not that I really think you believe Mr. Horizon is ME, but I met you at
last year's Oakland WonderCon, and I can vouch for the fact that you DO
indeed autograph... in fact you autographed two prints that I picked up
at your table (one of which proudly hangs in my Office at work), and you
signed the DUCK FAMILY TREE inside the comic, which you thought was odd,
if I recall correctly.  :-)  It was nice to meet you and thanks for the
signing my comic! 

TO: Everyone/Anyonw who knows:
Concerning another item recently mentioned:

Pardon my ignorance, but I recall briefly seeing something about renewed
negotiations concerning the return of Disney Comics to the US.  I don't
know what issue of the Mailing List it was on, so if someone wouldn't
mind recapping exactly what the outcome of said negotiations are? 
Please.  Will we have comics soon?  Will they be all NEW, foreign
reprints, or more of the same old re-re-re-reprinted stories I don't
think I have enough copies of yet?  

I really wish to see some of the new stuff, such as Rosa's "Three
Caballeros Ride Again!" and some of the David Gerstein Mickey Mouse
stories.... all in ENGLISH! ;-)  I don't mind a few reprints mixed in
with new stuff, but I really want NEW stuff..... (at least new to the
US, whether it be from Italy, Brazil, France, or any place else where
Disney comics have been publish over the decades never reaching the US
shores, or all-new, all-original never-before published anywhere Stories!!!).

"Nuff said!"
