<DIV>Hello from France !</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to collect and to make an exhaustive list of all stories
and gags by Carl Barks.</DIV>
<DIV>I lead for months a serious study of many references, and my
list is now quite completed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But it still remains a mystery that I can resolve. There are 165 gags (1
page or less) known by Carl Barks, and only 4 gags doesn't have known
creation date (the publication date is ok) :</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>I want at least to have the possibility to replace
these gags among the 161 others by creation date</FONT> .</DIV>
<DIV>I read that these four gags could originally have been one of three
unidentified /disappeared Uncle Scrooge gags submitted on October 1, 1958.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From looking at the artwork,DD 71-05, US 25-07 and US 32-05 seems to be
more typical for Barks' work of the late 1950's (i.e., 1958 or 1959), while US
32-07 seems to be a somewhat earlier work (stylistic and thematical resemblance
to US 33-01 "Tree Trick").<BR><BR>So, DD 71-05 and US 32-05 may indeed be some
of those unidentified gags from 1958-10-01, which is supported by the fact that
the other known 1958-10-01 gag, US 27-05 "Crawls for Cash", is a half-pager,
too. There are doubts about US 25-07 for which the publication date is just a
bit too early. <BR><BR><FONT color=#800000>But this is all just guesswork
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> <FONT color=#800000></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000>1. Is any one have new elements on these four
gags.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000>2. Is someone have other ideas for replacing these
gags among the others by creation date ? For US 32/6, who seems to be ealier, do
you have an idea to place it among the others ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000>3. Could someone indicate me a mean to reach the
creation dates...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000>I have already contacted Michael Barrier, Geoffrey
Blum, Gerd Syllwasschy (BarksBase) who gave me very interesting informations but
not the answer... (Chase Craig would have been a good help but he's not with us
anymore...)</FONT></DIV>
