Hi

It is nice to hear from Don about his trip to Finland - as I might have
told I'm 
very lucky to have friends in Finland, one of them being Janne Heino,
who 
stood in line and had a book signed for me - including a fan-drawing,
that 
I'm very happy about.

Hmm - that's gonna be a hard one - and I don't think I would be able to
do such 
a thing. Not within this firm from who these publishers have the
license.

I'll be sure to tell, when I find out (might only be one week before,
but still)

I will be sure to do so. Nevertheless I do have the comic in ... let me
think...
danish, german, italian, finnish (more languages are welcome, if you
have doubles, friends)
and all of them are the "normal" version with colors, and no 3D glasses
to be used. 
I read the comic once at Duco, and Gary found it for me - so it will be
in my collection - but that's it. 

Luckily only 3 have been made of these 3D-things, as far as I know -
one a van Horn story (with beans)
the mentioned Nostildamus, and a nightmare story with Donald, by Marco
Rota - it was in a czech weekly that I got. 

Maybe now is a good time to wish you all a Happy New Year
