In English / Polidoro Famedoro

« il: Giovedì 27 Dic 2018, 14:26:37 »

Hi, I just have a question about Flintheart's brother Polidoro from the story "Il segreto di Cuordipietra" ( https://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+3230-1 ) by Francesco Artibani. I havent read the story (it hasn't been published where I live yet) but I've seen bits and pieces of the story on the internet, and from what I understand Flintheart's' story about his brother's deal with Gideon is a lie from Flintheart. However, does this also mean that the brother doesn't exist? I ask this because I made a Glomgold family tree, and I don't know whether I should include Polidoro as well.

Thanks in advance! If ypu want to see the Glomgold family tree, as well as the other trees ive made, see here: http://s44.photobucket.com/user/Scroogerello/library/?sort=3&page=1
If you have any additions please tell me!

In English / Grandma Duck and Scrooge as brother and sister: which stories?

« il: Giovedì 21 Giu 2018, 23:58:36 »

Hi all!

I recently read Marco Rota's "Buon Compleanno, Paperino!", and I enjoyed it a lot (especially with the beautiful illustrations!) interestingly, it's one of those stories where Grandma Duck and Uncle Scrooge are presented as brother and sister. I was wondering: do you guys know any more (good) stories where Scrooge and Grandma are siblings (maybe even stories that show them  together during their past/childhood?). I think it's quite an interesting concept. Also, does anyone here know where exactly the idea of Scrooge and Grandma being siblings origins from? My understanding is that Guido Martina invented it (since it wasn't in the original American stories) but I may be mistaken.

In English / Donald's parents by Guido Martina

« il: Lunedì 26 Mar 2018, 23:34:52 »

Just read that in an old Guido Martina comic from the 1950s (this one: https://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++219-AP ), Donald's parents briefly appear. Anyone know more about this, or perhaps has access to images of the characters?

Also, as I read his, I was wondering--have Donald's parents appeared (or at least been mentioned) in any other stories before "The Life and Times"? You'd think there's be at least a couple of occasions, perhaps in more obscure (classic) Italian stories.

Cheers,

In English / Scans of Disney character relatives

« il: Lunedì 22 Giu 2015, 14:31:21 »

Hi all,
I've been constructing family trees for Disney comic characters, using scans from my own collection, the internet (usually the INDUCKS tool) and from members of  the DCF-Disney Comic Forum. You can see the trees at my Disney Wiki user page: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/User%3AScroogerello , I occasionally update them. The trees are however, missing quite a lot of scans (most of which I marked with the "scan needed"-sign). Most of them can be found in Italian publications, and therefore I was wondering if you guys here could provide scans of the following characters:

Pete's brother Pedro Bafo-de-onça from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=B+860071
Pete's grandpa Gambadistagno from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2518-6
Pete's aunt Pierrette from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2002-3
Pete's aunt from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2461-2
Neighbour Jones's uncle Jasper from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+96315
Magica De Spell's uncle from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=B+880105
Magica's other uncle from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=B+860220
If you've got any other additions/remarks on the tree, please notify me!
Many thanks in advance!

In English / Goofy's family

« il: Martedì 29 Mar 2016, 14:37:14 »

Hi, all!

On the Italian wikipedia page for Goofy (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippo), the following caught my attention in the list of Goofy relatives the page showed:
 
Pappo, fratello gemello
Pippanda, sorella maggiore

Now, if I'm not mistaken, this means that Goofy has a (twin) brother called "Pappo" and an older sister (sorella maggiore = older sister, right?) named "Pippanda". Is this true? If so, does anyone here know which stories Goofy's brother and sister appear in? Many thanks in advance!

In English / Zenzero

« il: Sabato 30 Gen 2016, 14:35:30 »

Hi, all!
On the INDUCKS, I came across this Seven Dwarfs comic by Romano Scarpa:
https://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++238-A
According to its description, it features an extra (eighth) dwarf called "Zenzero", created by Scarpa himself. Does anyone here have any more info on this story? Does Zenzero have any particular character trait (like most of the original dwarfs)? Where does he come from? What does he look like? And is it a fun story?
Thanks in advance!
