> 8) Duckburg = W OS 422-02 "The Gilded Man"  January 31, 1952 ?

Duckburg = W WDC 49-02 "High-wire Dare-devils" 1944. The story you list is the 
first mention of the state Calisota.



> 13) Grandma Duck = W WDC 121-04 "GD adopts Gus and Jaq" 1950-10 ?

Grandma Duck appeared in comic strips in the fourties. According to Sigvald's 
homepages, she appeared as a picture on a wall in 1940 and in person in 1943. 
According to Inducks: YD 43-09-27 "Grandma Duck gag" September 27, 1943


> 15) Herbert (HDL's friend) = W WDC 43-02 "Three Dirty Little Ducks" November
> 27, 1943 ?

Seems correct, that's the answer I got when I asked the same question two years 
ago (from Vidar, I think).


> 19) The I-Team

D 99094 "The I-Team", September 23, 1999


> 31) Sonny Seagull = D 96408 "Free Spirits" Nov. 7, 1997 ?

According to the home pages of Norwegian Donald Duck & Co., very little is 
known about the creation of Sonny, but that he may have been created in Italy 
or France in the 1980's. Although, the story you mention is said to be his 
first story published in Scandinavia.



> 33) Paperinik 

As far as I know: "Paperinik il diabolico vendicatore", June 8, 1969



Sorry I couldn't help out on more...

.but let us know when you have the complete list! I'm sure you're not the 
only one interested in this information!



Best,
Olaf the Blue
