<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I decided to read my dcml-mails from the last
couple of months - so more reactions might come - but here's one. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't agree - in the world Don Rosa depicts,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wouldn't Auschwitz have taken place there, as awful
an event as it, and what happened in all </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>other camps at the time were? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure I would want Don or another artist to
draw a story like this - after all many readers </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>are kids, </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>and there
are other ways to find out about these events than duck comics .. ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But surely WWII has taken place in the world the
ducks I prefer to read about live - </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We've seen spies, we've seen Mein Kampf lying on a
garbage area and so on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even though it hasn't been described, it doesn't
meen it hasn't taken place. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just finished reading Donald Aults "Carl Barks
Conversations" and Barks once said that of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>course Gladstone existed before he was in the first
story - there was a whole town of people, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and chrecters would be shown when he needed them.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember that The Ducks where in Viet Nam? In a
world where Titanic sank, the Russian </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>revolution took place and later the Viet Nam war -
why would WWII have taken place?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael also wropte: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>> Try and
compare Donald and Scrooge to Vladek<BR>> Spiegelman.<BR><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>>Vladek who?
I guess that character is not well known in Norway.</FONT><BR>The artist Art
Spiegelman made a comic where he depicts his parents,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>who were in Auschwitz, as mice - but mice that
looks more than humans</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>than scrooge does. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sigvald, you should read the comic - and so should
I, but luckily I knew about it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sigvald wrote, in the same reply: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>>This is
*not* entirely correct. WW2 is indeed mentioned as </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>>"The big
war" in Don Rosa's "Return to Plain Awful".</FONT></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are you sure the biog war was WWII there? I
remember it is mentioned, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and then the indian fellow asks: there has been
2??</FONT></DIV>
