size=3 FAMILY="SERIF">A good thing too. They should stick to that. They've been
including sillier and sillier gizmos to try & attract new readers. They'd
better dig in their archives, see how they did it 20 years ago and do the same;
i'm sure it would attract more readers if they did it more seriously--
treu articles about really interesting subjedcts, not 20-words-max sentences
about whatever trash is trendy.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

indeed.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like "Le Clairon de Donaldville" ("The Duckburg

<DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=1 face="Times New Roman Baltic"

<DIV><FONT size=2>They don't seem to ahve been taken from the Web (no pixels)--
but I'm just splitting hairs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This issue also features the stories from "Grandma Duck's Farm
Friends" (with Dumbo, Zeke, ...) and one "Daisy Duck's Diary" drawn by Barks
(March '60).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>And now the most important...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"The Dream of a Lifetime" is a great story! I love
it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It's hard to make any more comments without spoiling
anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Things I particularly like: dreams dream limits; calling
for help; family reunion; finale (and the way the whole story made it
possible).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Any rough idea how the stories will be published? In rough
chronological order? Gary?</FONT></DIV>
