Disney-comics digest #500.

[James Williams]

Wak!  Where's the limited edition, die-cut, gold foil, holographic, 
poly-bagged with trading card, 500th anniversary issue.  Per, we gotta 
teach you something about marketing. 500 issues and absolutely no fan 
fare :)

Wilmer wrote about the definition of "waddie".  Am I the only who owns 
a dictionary? :)  According to Webster's waddie is a western slang for 
Cowboy.  It's first recorded use was in 1927 and its origin is unknown.  
Based on the words surrounding waddie in Webster's, I'd guess that this 
slang actually came from Australia.

Hence Gene Autrey is singing about loosing his girl to a cowboy from
San Antonio (i.e. a guy from the big city).  A rather common theme
in country western music.
