Gilles Maurice "Calisota Online" new Scientists page

[lgiver@postoffice.pacbell.net]

I had some time to look at Gilles Maurice website, especially his 
interesting
new page on scientists in the duck and mouse comics.  To answer his
question, yes, Professor Cosmic and Professor Gamma are in Barks'
Donald Duck story, "Rocket Race to the Moon"  C&S #93, June, 1948.
It's reprinted in Issue 13 of Gladstone's Carl Barks Library of Disney
Comics & Stories.  Professor Cosmic also signed the instructions for
the Liquid Isotopes that Donald drank in the Super Snooper stories by
both Barks and Rosa.   Barks wrote a very similar rocket story 10 years 
later,
"Around the World in 80 Minutes" for C&S #212, May, 1958 (reprinted
in Issue 35 of the Gladstone series).  Here Gyro and his assistant, 
Professor
Sliderule, build the rocket that Donald races around the world.  In this 
story
he races against Gladstone, whose rocket was built by Prof. Missilebug.
In both stories there is no winner.  Donald also rides a rocket in "Missile
Fizzle", C&S #244, Jan. 1961 (reprinted in issue 41 of the Gladstone 
series).
The evil Professor Slyrat has been blowing up the rockets, and 3 other
un-named "big-brained" scientists are shown on page 1, panel 3.
      The "Swamp of No Return" Uncle Scrooge #57, May, 1965, has the
inventor of the teaching machine ray, Dr. Brainerd Brainmore.  Scrooge
finances him to perfect his invention for a half-interest in the 
copyrights, but
the Brutopian consul steals it.
                                                            Best wishes, 
   Larry Giver.
