Here is something that new list member David Gerstein sent me about
the same time he joined the list.  (BTW: Do you all think large lists
like this should be posted to the list, or would it be more
appropriate to just put them on the ftp archive and mention that they
are there for those who want them?)

_Complete List of Gottfredson Daily Strip Stories Not Reprinted or
Scheduled by Gladstone or Disney as of Disney Comics' Disbanding._
List Compiled by David Gerstein

I have included issue numbers for those that have been reprinted
either by Dell or outside of the regular line (i. e. Uncensored
Mouse).

There are a few weird breaks at ends of lines here, but my e-mail
system may have confused this former Macwrite file somewhat.

[I took the liberty of editing away a few weird breaks. /Per]
______________________________

"Lost on a Desert Island" (1/13-3/28/30) By Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks and
Win Smith. (Reprinted in Uncensored Mouse #1-2, 1988)

"Mickey Mouse in Death Valley" (4/1-9/20/30) Never reprinted (except
for first 3 weeks which were in Uncensored Mouse #2)  By Disney, Smith
and Gottfredson (whose art begins on May 5, 1930).

"Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers" (9/22-12/29/30) Never reprinted. By
Gottfredson, Hardie Gramatky and Earl Duvall. Introduces Mickey's
tough pal Butch (first major character created by Gottfredson), who
also appears in "Boxing Champion," "High Society," and "Circus
Roustabout" (although only briefly).  His personality is reminiscent
of Taliaferro's Donald Duck.

"Mickey's Flute" (12/30/30-1/3/31) Never reprinted.  By Gottfredson
and Duvall.

Gottfredson/Duvall

"Mickey Mouse Vs. Kat Nipp" (1/19-2/25/31)  Never reprinted.
Gottfredson/Duvall;  33 daily strips total.  The art is almost
reminiscent of William Van Horn's work;  Van Horn would be an ideal
candidate to draw a cover illustration for it.

SHORT STORIES.
These "continuities" lasted two to three weeks in length and while
good, weren't very complex (kind of an equivalent to Barks'
ten-pagers). A few were reprinted by WDC&S and those are noted with
issue numbers. The rest haven't been reprinted (except portions of a
few more disjointed stories as half-page gags in WDC&S issues.) From

EEGA BEEVA STORIES.
Here are all the Eega Beeva stories that have not been reprinted. He
was in three years of stories. 

"Mickey Makes a Killing" 12/29/47-2/7/48 

"Pflip the Thnuckle-Booh" 2/9-2/28/48 

"The Kumquat Question" 4/6-4/28/48 

"Mickey Mouse and the Atombrella" 4/30-10/9/48
NOTE:  I noticed that this story was once scheduled for Mickey and
Donald, then bumped.  Was this because of the atomic references?
Barks' "Donald Duck's Atom Bomb" and the original "Sky Island" were
once in cold storage for the same reason but have been allowed to see
reprint recently.  Might this story be in the same boat?

"An Education for Eega Beeva" 10/11-10/25/48

"Pflip's Strange Power" 12/27/48-3/5/49

"Be-Junior and the Aints" 3/7-8/6/49"Itching Gulch" 8/8-10/22/49
