What about a book with stories by Scandinavian creators?

Yes, and he seems to be a very clever and nice person.

No rumor. It was just a "qualified guess" based upon several facts:
1) Egmont's hedquarters are in Copenhagen so many Americans as yourself and
Byron is working there.
2) To be honest "Freddy Milton" sounds more American that Danish as typical
Danish male-names are:
Anders, Christian, Fredrik, Gorm, Hans, Jens, Knud, Mogens, Niels, Paul,
Soeren, Thomas, Valdemar, etc.
And Danish familynames often ends with -sen, -rup, -gaard or -baek.

But as long as Freddy has grown up in Denmark there is no reason not to
include him in such a book.

Anyway, I am ready to learn more abot this topic and would be happy if
anyone here would present a list to DCML over earlier and present
Scandinavian creators of Duck- and/or Mouse-stories.
