I was someone. 
I think they were still Gutenberghus back then. and no, the gag didn't
translate in the first publication. the logo of Gladstone was erased,
and the text said that it would be hard for Gladstone to seel comic
albums - which is true as the comic industry of albums might be going
down here too. It's more a subculture than a widely repsected one. 
It was Eggmont btw, and I think it was one of the 3 or 4 Easterstory
that I would remember - having to look them up if necessary
