Hey guys! What do you think of The Not-so-Ancient Mariner by Barks? This story has a big redesign for Daisy and Gladstone. (to fit with the 60's). Glastone looks even more like Fethry, and his beak is more duck-like.
At least Daisy's crazy hair gets rid of the bow! I agree with dismaldowns, Gladstone doesn't look like Gladstone but he acts like Gladstone, and it's good to see him lose. I also like the fact that this story added a member to Daisy's family, Aunt Drusilla. I wish someone else would use her in a story! I was pleased that she did make it into the cool little French Duckburg Who's Who, Arnaud Hilmarcher's le Dico de Donaldville.

And I'm glad to please you It was a fun project to work on, but to be perfectly honest I'm not one who chosed the characters on the list - professor Pierrey did, and he's got quite a talent to remember really obscure characters (way more than me !). All I had to do was to write about them (don't get me wrong, it took a few weeks !). I remembered Drusilla because it's not often that you meet one of Daisy's relatives - especially in a Barks story. Couldn't have named her, though !
Hey, thanks for your work on that little book! That and the two Duckburgguidebooks I own have given me lasting pleasure.
At the time the Dico came out, a friend of mine who lives in Toronto was able to buy some French Disney comics at a local newstand (no longer there, sigh!), and the Picsou that came with the Dico was the very best thing he got for me there. It was many years before a Dico turned up on French eBay! (And I immediately bought that one for a fellow Duckfan....)
