Some comments

Hi,

Here are some comments on what was on the list last month.

A *Ducktales*-movie of Lo$? That means Launchpad will also be in it. 
Aargh! But I think I would go and see the movie, I'm curious how they 
will work out Lo$. I don't hope they will treat it in the same bad way 
as they did with Barks' stories in the Ducktales-series (but I 
should know better...) But if they *don't*, we'll get a Don Rosa 
story in *Dolby Surround Pro-logic!!!*  Wow!

But I know, it's only a rumour...


Santa Claus

In Dutch Barks-comics the name Santa Claus is sometimes changed in 
Sinterklaas. There was a Barks story in which the art was changed 
(WDC 220, super-fuel) for Donald Duck Weekly. They changed the turkey 
into (a kind of) gingerbread, in Holland called "taai-taai". "Our" 
children eat "taai-taai" when Sinterklaas is in Holland.

More here-after...
