That's Asger Jensen - and yes the page is sadly down and we haven't 
heard from Asger for a long time. Sigvald and I do plan to make a new
page 
taking up the Barks references and other references. These would be
included there. 
I do remember sending Asger some references - eg. the talking dog in
that story
- the one who said times are tough old pal. 
I also noticed the Smorgie-costume, but never could find out where that
disguise came from. 
Sagmore Springs Hotel of course - where Donald goes from potato pealer
to director to 
potato peal squasher (or whatever it was that the monkey did before
him...)
