(Don't know if this was answered)
The reason fro Daisy's hear in the story is the previous story in WDC
by Barks, which showed Donald as a beauty-expert. I suppose Barks was
making fun of hair, like beatniks in the not-so-ancient and in the wig
mysetery. In Denmark Gladstone was presented as Gladstone in the verion
I read, but to not make the kids-readers be confused they renamed Daisy
into being cousin Petra (female nameform of Peter, if it's not clear)

OLAF
>> - Does Mickey and his pals exist? &
>> - If so, does he live in the same town as Donald?
In Denmark he's supposed to do, but not often shown 
together with him, and I could list the first 5 stories to 
proove it. 
>2 Murry's where Mickey cooperates with Grandma, who would live 
a little outside twon on the farm. 
>a D-coded story where many main-charecters form a soccer-team 
winning the Cup in Mexico 1986 (The danish version of cause 
stated it was the danish team they supported, and had wordpuns
on our soccer-song and our coach from that time.

Which also prooves Apostolis wrong, since Mickey is very much seen 
in the money bin in the story
> We never saw him in the Money Bin :-)

a never story showing how Mickey and Donald where once friends, but
parted because of some casde about an island, which is solved in 
the other part of the story. D-coded, but I don't remember the code 
or issue number rigt now. 

>Why not? They live in another city, Mousetown, Mickey
>City or whatever is called it. 
Mouseton, Mickeyville, Topilonia (?) and others. what is it
in greek, all Duckburg, as it is here?

APOSTOLIS
>Barks wrote a story
>with Mickey (The Riddle of the Red Hat) if you
>remember, which means that Barks actually accept
>Mickey as a character. 
That might be a fact, but though I like the story, 
with Barks showing how to use the ears as to express 
Mickey's feelings, I overlook it, when thinking of the 
Duckburg/Barks Universe I imagine. 
Barks might have been given the idea? 
But even though Barks used Mickey once, other masters like
Gottfredson, Scarpa and now Ferioli did, and as i like to read stories
by the last, I would love to read more stories thatn i have with the
two first. 

>BUT, I don't think Mickey lives in Duckburg. 
Honestly I was very surpriesed in 1986 when I saw Mickey wandering up
at Donald telling
he had some tickets, Donald could have, as he had boyght too many.
(Typical for the Mickey of those years...a, mere Gladstone in the
mouseworld... - made many danes dislike him)

Apostolis on Life of scrooge.
Yes, Don redres some panels, or copied (Don?) and don't tell me you
yourself 
doubt one second that not only those panels but the whole Lo$, and the
whole
work of Don is one large tribute/hommage/honnering of the Duck Man. :-)

I believe those blueprints are as real as they can get. 
Seamingly ironically a norwegian
paper made two architechtural experts look at them, and they tried
seriosly to find missing 
things data and such. they discussed, the lack of employee's entrance,
the lack of material-list
(they eg. wanted to know if reinforced concrete was to be used, and of
course they stated that 
the bin wouldn't have thick enough walls to keep the coins inside
(memories of the cash flow 
story come to mind) - I translated the article - but didn't get the
irony, cause it's built into the fact
that people who would really take Duckburg serios, as a big interest,
would be ... you know... 
(I don't agree on this, but it may be stated by many non-fans, even
some you know yourself, but I 
took it as some kind of an insult and told the journalist that, and
then I was informed (not by the 
journalist) that the whole thing is a publicity for egmont. 

well, Apostolis, sorry, but I don't think any of your money ever
reached Barks or Rosa or any 
other artists, writer or plotter. In this business one is paid for the
page, once. no matter how many
places or how many times a story is used any credit is payed to anyone.
That's just the way it us. 
Sounds unfair to me, so maybe I shouldn't become a plotter or
something.
