ho trovato un articolo sulla storia "d'amore" tra paperone-doretta, e la censura seguita in USA riguardo a questo tema ..visto che l'articolo aggiunge qualcosa in più sullo "scandalo" di paperetta ye-ye ed è nominato anche Don rosa, vorrei sapere se è vero quello riportato nell'articolo (ovvero il vedere paperetta ye-ye come uno "scandalo") e quali modifiche sono state apportate alla $aga
Prima di leggere: non sò se l'articolo è esatto al 100% su questa storia... l'ho trovato riportato su un forum, ma nn conosco la fonte
I've found an article about the "love" story between Scrooge and goldie, and the censorship in the US of this aspect of the life of scrooge. While we have already talk about this, the article say something more about some "scandal" about Dickie duck (paperetta ye-ye in italy), the and the censorship of the "Life and time of scrooge"... it is true what it says? Dickie duck is really a banned character? and what about the changes in the Lo$?
before the reading: i don't know if the article is 100% true about some aspect of this story... i've found it on a forum
Anybody out there ever heard of Scrooge McDuck's grandaughter: Paperette Ye Ye (Dickie Duck)? She is the rarest and least used of all Disney characters, seen only in Italy and later with Jose in Brazil, she is banned for use in the rest of the world, and has never been seen in America at all.
Since most people in the USA have no idea who she is or why Disney banned the use of this character, or what she has to do with Scrooge, I will tell you.
In the more die-hard Scrooge fan circles, this story is known as the most scandalous of all the "Scrooge/Goldie scandal" stories. The Scrooge/Goldie scandal has caused Disney Corp. to ban several of the old original Scrooge stories from the 1940's and 1950's and later baddly edit Don Rosa's "Life and Times" segment: King of the Klondike (In the uncensored edition of "King of the Klondike" Goldie was a main star, but Disney made Don Rosa re-write it.)
To understand how this story got written, first of all you must realized that while Carl Barks created Scrooge, he was NOT the only Scrooge writer of the 1940's and 1950's, as is commonly belived here in America. Originaly there were TWO Scrooge writers: Carl Barks wrote for America and Romana Scarpa wrote for Europe. Before his stories went to press, Romana Scarpa got them "approved" by Carl Barks, although it is not known if Carl Barks actually did approve the stories or not.
To find out the story you'll have to start out by reading a rare uncensored version "Back to the Klondike"--keeping in mind that Scrooge was still a Disney VILLAIN at the time this story was originally written in 1952, and next you must read "The Arrival of Paperette Ye-Ye", IF you can find a copy and IF you can read Italian, because this story was printed only in Italy, in only a very few copies in 1957, before Disney Corp. found out about it and went histerical over it. (Less than a 1,000 of these are belived to exist today, if that many at all--I am lucky to own one of them--this is considered to be the rarest and hardest to find of not just Scrooge comics, but of all Disney comics.) By 1957, Scrooge in America was no-longer a villian, plus the "Back in the Klondike" story had had 8 pages, including the kidnapping of Glittering Goldie, removed from it, so the American public never saw this darker side of Scrooge McDuck until 1987, when Gladstone printed for the first time in America, an un-censored edition of it. So the first chapter of the Scrooge/Goldie scandal wasn't even told to the American public at the time the Paperette Ye Ye story was written. However, unlike America, Italy HAD seen "Back to the Klondike" uncensored, and so the Paperette Ye Ye story was not a shock to them, as it was to America.
The story of Paperette Ye Ye was written by Romano Scarpa, a man who was noted for getting Carl Barks' approval before writing any Scrooge story, so it must be assumed that Carl Barks new of this story before it was printed.
The story goes like this:
According to Carl Barks:
After having kidnapped Goldie in "Back in the Klondike" and letting her go a month later, Scrooge left the Yukon and didn't see Goldie again for almost 50 years, when they met once again in "Back in the Klondike" in 1952.
Than according to Romana Scarpa:
A year later,1953, Goldie arrives in Duckburg, bringing with her a girl she says is Scrooge's grand-daughter, Paperette Ye Ye, who's parents have just died. Goldie says she is not able to take care of her, but knowing Scrooge had plenty of money now, Goldie brought her to him instead. In Italy, from 1957 onward, Paperette lives at the Money Bin with her Grandfather, Scrooge McDuck. Later on, it is through Paperette that Scrooge meets up with another rare character: Brigitta MacBridge, the much younger fortune hunter looking to marry the world's richest duck, and being very good at keeping Scrooge on his toes as he tries to keep as far away from who he calls "that crazy woman".
While no story is known to exist, that actually writes it, it is common knowledge in Italy since 1957, that Scrooge and Goldie have an illegitmate daughter who is Paperette's mother and sadly she died before Scrooge was aware of her existance.
In Italy we see a more caring and romantic side of Scrooge that we do not see in America. While Goldie is never actually SEEN in another Italian story after 1957, throughout the rest of the Scrooge comics he sends money to the Yukon to take care of her. In America we see stories telling us that Goldie is the one pineing away for the stubborn and prideful Scrooge, but in Italy, it is the other way around.
In America, Scrooge fans who hear the story of Paperette Ye Ye, generaly respond with anger and hatred, saying the story is false and is not a "real" part of the Scrooge history. But--take a look at the date: 1957, it is one of the oldest stories out there, way before most of the more popular ones were written.
What few Americas do accept this story, change it, pointing out that in "Back to the Klondike" Goldie mentions careing for orphans and so they rationalize that Dickie Duck (as Paperette is called in America) is not really Scrooge's grand-daughter, she just calls him "Grandpapa" to be polite.
In Italy, this story is the most loved Scrooge story of them all and is considered "the most beautiful and romantic" of all the Scrooge stories ever written. In Italy, Paperette Ye-Ye was a regular in various Scrooge comics from 1957 until the 1970's, but Disney Corp. has banned all use of her and has done everything possibly to destroy the fact that Scrooge did start out as a "one-shot villain" not intended to ever be used as a hero. So, no new stories of Scooge's grand-daughter are allowed to be written and it is doughtful that we will ever hear Uncle Scrooge called "Grandpapa" here in America.
She was discontinued from comic book use entirly when Don Rosa started his famous "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" series in 1984---accourding to Don Rosa, she does not exist.
