I'm back, I think

	Hey Jørgen!

	I'd be grateful if you would. Not only as a fan, but as an editor
for the modern Egmont comics, I'm very anxious to learn what people thought
was good/bad about specific stories. At a time when the current D-coded
stories aren't being discussed on the list very much, I'm grateful for the
depth and thoughtfulness of your reviews and really appreciate having them
back.
	So - *do* continue!
	As regards the present reviews, I'm glad you like having the *real*
Phantom Blot back. Both the Blot and Black Pete were softened drastically
for so many years - what a waste! And you know, we're doing our best to make
Pete into a real threat again, too; we lately discussed Dave Rawson's
"Vacation Brake" here, which was one great example.

>(yes, Duckburg and Mousetown is one 
>thing in Norway) 

	Sorry to be a critic, but it's spelled *Mouseton*, not "Mousetown".
	And as it happens, Duckburg and Mouseton are one thing in Norway
because they're one thing at *Egmont*. At Egmont today, we say that Mickey
and his friends live in Duckburg - just another section of it than Donald
lives in. In the stories we're publishing now, Mouseton isn't a separate
entity. It's all Duckburg.
	(This isn't necessarily what *I* myself agree with, but it's our
standing editorial rule, at least for right now.)
