<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><HTML><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="1">I pretty much agree with you, moreover Wimpie wears exactly the same clothes than Newton, and the original title of one of his stories is creadited as "Neef Billie" in INDUCKS... So I guess I should remove it, but on another side, these two stories are quite recent, so the people who write the text before it's published must have deliberately known they were wrong, no? (I mean, maybe the scenarist goofed, but doesn't at least another person check scenarios before they get published?) About Wimpie, he seems to be less quiet and clever than Newton, playing with gyro's inventions etc, but I don't know the real newton enough to be sure about that... Maybe the persons that actually think that Wimpie should be considered as different (I think Harry Fluks does, or at least he's the person who sent me scans of these two stories)<BR>
<BR>
About Giggi, Luca Boschi told me : "They<BR>
were created by two different story-men (Bob Gregory and Vic Lockman, maybe<BR>
one ignoring the other) and have two different personalities. But in Italy,<BR>
for example, the translator made a mistake and used them as if they were the<BR>
same character. Indeed, seems that Giggy was used only once in USA comic<BR>
books."<BR>
<BR>
So does that mean that each time newton is involved with the Junior Woodchucks, he is actually Giggy? Could somebody really think about this and check if there are no contradictions to this statement in any story ever?<BR>
<BR>
Here is a list to some characters considered as two different characters in some contexts, which is just (or might be) a translation mistake:<BR>
<BR>
* The Daisy Duck from the Barks sea story where everybody looks strange is called cousin Petra in Danish!<BR>
<BR>
* Cornelius coot is considered as at least three different characters in Germany<BR>
<BR>
* Gastoncino, Gladstone's nephew from 1907-A (Qui, Quo, Qua e il cugino Gastoncino) created by Comicup studios, might have been intended to be the same as Shamrocks... (could somebody check how he's named in his two other stories published in Italy (W OS 649-06 and W JW 69-01, it would be benefic both for my work and the exactness of Inducks) Moreover, in his last appearance, he's called Clyde in the US... <BR>
<BR>
*Moocher McDuck :<BR>
it: Stracetton de'Paperoni / Mac Mucher / Paperoff <BR>
dan: Kilian McKluns / TimTiger / Skamplet von And <BR>
dut: Sloebe Duck <BR>
bra: Nadinhas / Galtério <BR>
greek: Apentar McDuck <BR>
And as many names as personalities (the way he's genealogically related to Scrooge even changes sometimes, I think) And the way he looks is also quite different from a story to another... But we chose to consider him as the same character, for some reasons, so I don't see why I'd do that for him and still consider Wimpie and Newton as different..<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
*Moss, gus' cousin from S 64107 has been translated in Danish as being different than Gus (is there a way to check the original intentions of the writer?)<BR>
<BR>
*Hans, Gus' cousin/brother from the Dutch version of W US 55-05 seems to be the same kind of mistake : a character too different from his rôle... But I'm sure that if we check the original version, it's still Gus, I can't afford to consider him as Gus (or at least as a possible second appearance of Moss) could anybody check how it's been translated in his country?<BR>
<BR>
* Gyro's cousin from W DD 35-05 (here it's not the personnality that don't fit with the character, but rather his face)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
*I'd be delighted to have precisions on the story D 97589 "Much Ado About Phooey"<BR>
