Disney comics and Greece

[Apostolis Trikourakis]

Hi all

Dim Nticoudis (is he a member of this list?) sent me
these nice details about Disney characters in Greece:

> Even popular
> TV-Quizes sometimes contain 
> Disney related questions.For example a recent
> episode of [the Greek] "Weak Link" 
> contained the question "Where is Uncle Scrooge's
> birthplace"?(The player 
> lost because he answered Limnoupolis/Duckburg").Some
> years ago then popular 
> comedy series "Men kai Den" had an entire episode as
> a Disney parody with 
> the main characters acting as Scrooge McDuck(first
> dime included),Magica 
> DeSpell, Mad Madam Mim and the Beagle Boys.They even
> dressed as them during 
> a scene.Popular newspapers when they publish
> articles about comics they 
> usualy refear to Disney comics and they count Carl
> Barks as the most famous 
> in Greece comic book creator.Some magazines even go
> as far as "analyzing" 
> the characters(most of them missunderstanding or
> parodying them).In the 
> early 1990's an issue of "E" magazine for example 
> had an
> article about Scrooge's and 
> Magica's love affair!Finaly, Scrooge has become a
> common word when you want 
> to say "miser".

Just to mention a funny story: Some years ago a reader
of Komix sent a mail saying that when he went for
shopping in a store, someone broke the glass of his
car and took the issue of Komix he had just bought!
:-)
Best Wishes
