<DIV>To list:</DIV>
<DIV> All this talk of a new Don Rosa story always gets
me excited. Though in the meantime, I am thrilled about "Prisoner of White Agony
Creek" too and what new facets of the Goldie/Scrooge relationship it holds. Out
of the stories I want Mr. Rosa to do, this was indeed high on my list
previously. However, my suggestions for others coincide with previous posts, and
some are my own wishful thinking.</DIV>
<DIV>1.) <STRONG>The return of Hortense McDuck:</STRONG> I would love to see one
day if and how Don would tackle this one. While I love having Matilda reconciled
with Scrooge, a future story involving all three of them on an adventure again
would be awesome. My own theory is that she disappeared in 1947, when Donald
decided to work with Scrooge, whom she would despise (even more so than Matilda
because of her hot temper) at that point in time. Donald's new relationship with
his uncle would create a rift with his mother, and she would move away from
Duckburg or just stay out of his life. To me, this explains why we haven't seen
her in any Barks/Rosa stories. As to what happened to her husband as
well, I got nothing there, unless he probably died from old
age. Anyway, this is the best I could come up with until Rosa decides to
tackle the subject (hope soon).</DIV>
<DIV>2.) <STRONG>Della and Whoever Duck: </STRONG>What the heck happened to
Huey, Dewey, and Louie's parents? I cannot even come up with a personal opinion
on that one. If any modern day Duck artist/writer can, it should be Rosa, of
course, since he knows and has done the history of the McDucks/Ducks to near
perfection. Like #1, he repeatedly says he won't do this story now if ever, but
I think it can serve as a breakthrough in modern Duck comics if tackle and be
extremely interesting. Even if it ends in a sad way, it would at least tell us
why the boys no longer stay with their parents or see them. Again, put this on
my dream list.</DIV>
<DIV>3.) <STRONG>Return of Matilda McDuck to Duckburg:</STRONG> I would LOVE
most definitely if this would be Rosa's next story. Even if it in no way
involved my #1 idea, I think it would be very cool just to see her
again....maybe go on some kind of adventure with Scrooge and the gang or have a
role in a future Black Knight story. Maybe, the master thief would kidnap
her and hold her for ransom.....</DIV>
<DIV>4.) <STRONG>The origins of Magica DeSpell/Italian adventure: </STRONG>How
and why did she become a sorceress? I don't know if any story currently explains
this. I do recall an interview from several years ago, where Rosa stated it was
intention to do an Italian epic with the Ducks in the foreseeable future. Maybe,
such a tale could incorporate this information. </DIV>
<DIV>5.) <STRONG>Grandma Duck anniversary story:</STRONG>According to
the D.U.C.K.H.U.N.T. website, it's Grandma's 150th birthday this year.
Maybe a tale centered on her character (maybe even referring to both her father
and mother) could be done next if Rosa thinks that's a worthy commemoration.
</DIV>
<DIV>6.)<STRONG> Black Knight story:</STRONG> Like you guys, I'm up for another
one as well. However, I'm still waiting to read Rosa's new one in America, so I
can wait on this idea for a while. However, if Rosa does it next, it likely
won't be published here for another two years, when it would indeed be time for
a possible another addition/sequel. </DIV>
<DIV>7.) <STRONG>Donald/Daisy story: </STRONG>Is there relationship always
playful or will it ever become serious? I think some further exploration of
their on-again-off-again romance would be cool.</DIV>
<DIV>8.) <STRONG>Gladstone's parents:</STRONG> I think a story involving
Gladstone's parents would be cool, even if they appear only in cameo form.
</DIV>
<DIV>9.) <STRONG>Beagle women: </STRONG>Maybe some things are better left unsaid
or explained, but who and what type of women would marry the Beagle Boys, and
why haven't we've seen them before except for Ma Beagle off camera in the "Life
of Scrooge" series? This is not that important to me to know but could be fun to
see. </DIV>
<DIV>***More Flintheart Glomgold contests, visits to other countries/treasure
hunt adventures, Beagle Boy screw ups, and "Life of Scrooge" episodes are always
welcome though. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok, for now, there is my grand Rosa wish list. I realize that some of these
topics for stories may not be in the cards, nevertheless I can only hope and
muse about the possibilities. Also, I'm sure there are tales that Rosa has yet
to do, which may well surprise us and confound the wanted/expected. In other
words, whatever he produces next and down the road until retirement is fine with
me. </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
