<DIV>>I was just reading in one of the essays in <EM>Carl Barks'
Greatest DuckTales Stories >Vol.1</EM> that postal regulations prohibited
Scrooge and Gyro from appearing in the >same stories in <EM>Uncle
Scrooge</EM> comics. Why should the Postal Service care >about such a
thing?</DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Because the Postal Service was subsidized at the time for
periodicals. </DIV>
<DIV>Thus they could control what a periodical was. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>whoever discussed the rules, at that time, with the folks representing
Western, (who produced and printed these book) - "apparently" told them not
too.</DIV>
<DIV> Why? without the actual written ruling, we dont know.</DIV>
<DIV>Too much like a book than a periodical? shrug...</DIV>
