Celestial Arts and birthdays

[Daniel van Eijmeren]

JORGEN:

Thanks for telling me about the contents of the Celestial Arts book 
"Uncle Scrooge - His Life and Times".

I guess that the "new art" of "Land Beneath the Ground" is some of 
the material that survived after being cut away from the story. 

I think that this restored version of the story is the same as the 
one in the CBL.


PETER:

Here is my list with first appearances of Barks-characters. It's also 
in digest #756, but it's less complete there. 

This list is part of a lot of other lists I sent to the club. Maybe 
they can be put on the ftp-side one day? (But then I first have to 
double-check them if they are complete.)

You'll have to find out yourself what the publishing dates were of 
the mentioned comics, I can only tell you the month and the year.

In US 6a <valley of trala-la> the Junior Woodchuck's guide book is 
called by name for the first time. The first appearance of April, May 
and June was without their names mentioned. Miss Quackfaster was 
called by name for the first time in US 39 (so it can be discussed if 
it's her in US 36).
