Milton has also made a couple of stories for the Danish publisher, at
least D 3877 in Swedish KA 17/77 about a magpie which is a mascot for
our favourite patrol of the Junior Woodchucks.  I think one of his
first duck stories was called "The Big Sneeze", but he couldn't sell
it and later he re-made it with other characters instead of the ducks.

Besides doing comics Freddy Milton has been the editor of the Danish
fanzine "Carl Barks & Co." up to #18 (the current issue is #19).

He has done more Woody Woodpecker than that.  But maybe that's only
published here in Scandinavia?  I think it's the Gnuffs that has
appeared in Critters (I don't have Critters though).
