Welcome to the list! It's good to see a fellow Minnesotan here. I joined
this list last December and asked the very same question to the list
members. (I always suspected the Minnesota reference was partly due to
Barks having lived in Minneapolis when he worked for the Calgary Eye Opener.

I used to (or may still have!) a subscription to _The Duckburg Times_,
published by Dana Gabbard et. al. The issues stopped coming 5 or more
years ago then an issue suddenly show up about a year back. Haven't seen
one since, so I'd guess Dana is too busy with other pursuits. Along those
lines, I haven't see _The Barks Collector_ for many years. Did John
Nichols discontinue it?
