The Disney publisher in the Netherlands (formerly part of the bigger
company Oberon) is now called GP (Great Pain).
Which reminds me: names like Egmont, GP, Gutenberghus, Oberon should
certainly be explained in our FAQ. Maybe in an alphabetic words list?

No, I didn't (and I'm ashamed). I'll have a look if that is consistent with
the colours of the sweaters.
BTW: one bad Gladstone colouring that annoyed me: on one panel, after the
Beagle Boys get mud all over them, one BB takes off his mask. In Europe,
the mud is dark brown, while the un-mudded skin (where the mask was) is
"skin-colour". It looks very funny. In the Gladstone version, mud and skin
have (almost) the same colour, spoiling the effect of the panel.
> S'funny that the Egmont coloring looked better to you...
Well, I was talking specifically about Lo$ part 2. I haven't seen part 11
yet. And as far as I could see, European part 2 had only one colouring error:
a USA state coloured blue...
> Harry, what story of mine has Oberon-QV-whateveritis published lately???
Only Lo$ stories. Part 6 (the Transvaal story) has been published last week.
Your Lo$ stories now mostly serve as a backup story, so without special
covers.
Your copies of Dutch parts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are virtually on their way.
