For Dutch Readers & Fans of My Stories & Jan Gulbransson Art

The new Donald Duck Weekblad this week has a 10-page story by me and Jan, about Donald's rivalry with his blusterous Neighbour Jones (Buurman Bolderbast), and Huey, Dewey and Louie get the best of both of them.  Its title is "Strijd om de superslee" ("The Super Sled Contest").  This issue is a nice surprise for me, as it has a 2-page prikprent-style drawing by another of my work partners, Tim Artz, and the cover was drawn by an old friend of Jan's and mine, Ulrich Schröder.  Not only is Jones in it, but Barks' Widow Umble's Kids make a return to Disney Comics.

Here is a link to its COA page:

It has already been printed in all Scandinavian countries, Finland and Germany, but not yet in France or USA.

The German version is called "A Sled for Shacktown". Is that from your script, placing the kids from WDC&S 196 in Shacktown, or is that something the translator came up with?

I put that in my story.

Thanks! It's a good idea.
I guessed it was the case, what with the prominently placed sign on the second page.

Cool! I hope to see this story some day. It would be nice to see Widow 'Umble's kids again, and I agree with rasterax that it made sense to have them living in Shacktown.

Rob: If you haven't noticed yet, your story D 2016-072 "The Skiing Veteran" (translated from the Norwegian title) is published in the North-European weeklies this and next week. At least in the German Micky Maus #9, Danish Anders And & Co #8, Norwegian Donald Duck & Co #9, Finnish Aku Ankka #8, and probably in the Sweedish Kalle Anka #8 or #9 too.

The D-coded stories are a bit slow on being added to the inducks database at the moment, so it might take a while to get the "Creator notification" they use to send out.

Thanks! I can't find any reference to that story in INDUCKS.

It's possible to search for "unidentified" stories. So all prints with D 2016-072:

coa.inducks.org/comp2.php?code=D+2016-072&searchUnidentified=1
(the link will stop working after the story code is properly added to the database)

Or all items without a working code, but where your name has been added:
coa.inducks.org/comp2.php?creat=RKl&searchUnidentified=1
