As the story opens, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are walking down the street on their way home from school and find themselves in a part of Duckburg that is home to the downtrodden and poor.

They manage to get a hefty pile of bills and Scrooge faints, and using the bills, the residents of Shacktown receives a grand Christmas party. But that's less than half the volume! Barks never fails to surprise and entertain us with his storytelling skill. Boys bring a toy train to retrieve the money and Scrooge promises that they can keep the first load of money, no matter how much it is. Fewer than two pages later we see Donald. He constantly pursues money or leisure, and he never finds either. They're beautifully bound and present the comics in bright colors and clean layouts that place all the emphasis on the contents. The stories aren't bad, but I've never been a fan of Disney's characters, Donald Duck and friends in particular, and this didn't do anything to win me over. Jul 17, Erik rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-humor. There are some great tales here - the Gilded Man was a fav for me - the Golden Helmet is a classic and the title of the book was fun although odd in the big twist of what happens to Scrooge's money. They ask for the help of Daisy Duck , president of a local ladies' society, and their friends in the Junior Woodchucks.

Very touching title story - but included pagers are ones of the best Barks' stories. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Community Reviews. Rockerduck and Magica De Spell Walt Disneys Donald Duck: A Christmas for Shacktown Writer Also on a par with the early volume are the "Story Notes" at the back of the book, but don't mistake that as a compliment. This volume also features ten of Barks's smart and funny pagers, including a double whammy of yarns co-starring Donald's insufferable cousin "Gladstone's Usual Very Good Year" and "Gladstone's Terrible Secret" , as well as another nine of Barks's rarely seen one-page Duck gags Scrooge plays a quite prominent role in several of these stories, including one where Donald goads him into competing with the Maharajah of Howdyustan at building statues. Of all the universes, worlds, galaxies and dimensions created since the appearance of the first comic book, the most amazing of them all may be the world created by Carl Barks. Fiore's contributions are overblown and irritating, serving only to demonstrate his ability to use Big Words Just For The Sake Of It while dragging the focus to his own sense of self-importance rather than to a true investigation of Barks's work. They range from decent to merely okay. The notes on each story help place the work in perspective. This will likely increase the time it takes for your changes to go live.

He is drawing what are arguably the most popular cartoon characters in the world Donald eclipsed Mickey as a fan favorite from just about the moment he stepped on screen and yet he is putting them in the middle of a reality most would prefer to ignore. Fiore's contributions are overblown and irritating, serving only to demonstrate his ability to use Big Words Just For The Sake Of It while dragging the focus to his own sense of self-importance rather than to a true investigation of Barks's work. My one complaint here is Gladstone Gander and his luck drives a few too many stories. That old bastion of capitalism and pure greed guards his money with a cannon and uses a self-propelled bulldozer to push his fortune into his vault. Originally published in , A Christmas for Shacktown is one of Barks' masterpieces: A rare, pager that stays within the The third volume of Fantagraphics' reprinting of Carl Barks' classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge work -- like last spring's Uncle Scrooge: Only a Poor Old Man -- focuses on the early s, universally considered one of Barks s very peak periods.

Dewey, Huey and Louie remember that they once explored Shacktown district and learned about a cavern that might lead to the lost money.

    1 Picture: please see the end of the article This article was co-authored with Maria Grun and appeared in 2003 in Perspec- tives: Studies in Translatology 11. 197-216. For copyright reasons the cartoons we discuss cannot be given. ‘LOSS’ AND ‘GAIN’ IN COMICS Maria Grun and Cay Dollerup, Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract This article discusses translations of comics, a topic rarely dealt with in Translation Studies, with specific reference to ‘loss’ and ‘gain’. It is suggested that – for the purpose of a cogent discussion – we may distinguish between ‘gain with loss’ and ‘gain without loss’. Translations of comics represent a special challenge in that, in or- der to be successful, they have to actively interplay with illustrations as well as genre elements, i.e. ‘humour’. The article discusses some of these elements and then focuses on successful renditions into Danish of the American daily strip Calvin and Hobbes and a Donald Duck ten-page comic narrative. The latter, in particular, reveals that subtle forces influence the translation of a comic. This opens for a discussion of the ways com- ics allow - or make it hard for - a translator to wend her way between ‘gain’ and ‘loss’. 2 These forces involve an interplay not only between pictures and text, but also the people who do lettering, add colours, and the like. Introduction Since a translation owes its existence to an original it is, in some sense, derivative.1 Much discussion of translation is based on elitist texts which means that originals are often prestigious and highly valued (in terms of artistic merit, political and religious authoritativeness, etc).

  • Dei Fumetti Disney Di Realizzazione Statunitense (1945-1960)
    FRANCESCO SESTITO DA BALATRONE A GOLASECCA: SONDAGGI SULLE MODALITÀ DI TRADUZIONE IN ITALIANO di antroponimi e toponimi ‘minori’ DEI FUMETTI DISNEY DI REALIZZAZIONE STATUNITENSE (1945-1960) Abstract: Abstract: Research concerning onomastics in Disney comics in Italian has produced important results, but, while the names of main characters and places have been thoroughly dealt with, the onomastics of the minor realities of the Dis- ney universe, which was created in the USA and reached Italy in translation, are not equally well known. In this paper I analyze several stories written in the years 1945-1960 and Italian versions from different periods. The translation techniques vary somewhat: some retain the original English forms, some Italianize the original names, some create new anthroponyms or toponyms in a fairly free way. Keywords: Disney comics, minor characters, anthroponyms, toponyms, translations Il mondo del fumetto Disney comprende una sterminata produzione di storie – stimabili a più di 35.000 – realizzate in diversi paesi dal 1930 a oggi, offrendo numerosissimi spunti sui nomi propri, dei personaggi e dei luoghi, rappresentati nelle storie stesse.1 Gli studi sull’onomastica di- sneyana sono ormai numerosi benché tutti relativamente recenti:2 basti 1 Il sito Inducks (catalogo di opere e personaggi: https://inducks.org) censisce esattamente (no- vembre 2018) 35.081 storie ufficialmente pubblicate.

Since Fantagraphics’ first release in this series focused on Donald Duck, it is only right that the second focus on Carl Barks’s other great protagonist, and his greatest creation: The miserly, excessively wealthy Scrooge McDuck, whose giant money bin, lucky dime, and constant wrangles with his nemeses the Beagle Boys are well-known to, and beloved by, young and old. This volume starts off with “Only a Poor Old Man,” the defining Scrooge yarn (in fact his first big starring story) in which Scrooge’s plan to hide his money in a lake goes terribly wrong. Two other long-form classics in this volume include “Tralla La La” (also known as “the bottlecap story,” in which Scrooge’s intrusion has terrible consequences for a money-less eden) and “Back to the Klondike” (Barks disciple Don Rosa’s favorite story, a crucial addition to Scrooge’s early history, and famous for a censored bar brawl that was restored in later editions). Each of these three stories is famous enough to have its own lengthy Wikipedia page. Also in this volume are the full-length “The Secret of Atlantis,” and over two dozen more shorter stories and one-page gags.

He packs a lot of expression in the faces and bodies of his characters. Initially, I thought vary little of this, I mean Disney characters were primarily from an animated medium in my mind, and comics based on them weren't anything more than a way to squeeze a few extra merchandizing dollars from your property, right?

  • Types of Lexicographical Information Needs and Their Relevance for Information Science
    JISTaP http://www.jistap.org Research Paper Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice J Inf Sci Theory Pract 5(3): 15-30, 2017 eISSN : 2287-4577 pISSN : 2287-9099 http://dx.doi.org/10.1633/JISTaP.2017.5.3.2 Types of Lexicographical Information Needs and their Relevance for Information Science Henning Bergenholtz * Heidi Agerbo Department of Information Science School of Centre for Lexicography School of Information Technology University of Pretoria Communication and Culture South Africa Aarhus University, Denmark E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In some situations, you need information in order to solve a problem that has occurred. In information science, user needs are often described through very specific examples rather than through a classification of situation types in which information needs occur. Furthermore, information science often describes general human needs, typically with a reference to Maslow’s classification of needs (1954), instead of actual information needs. Lexicog- raphy has also focused on information needs, but has developed a more abstract classification of types of informa- tion needs, though (until more recent research into lexicographical functions) with a particular interest in linguistic uncertainties and the lack of knowledge and skills in relation to one or several languages. In this article, we sug- gest a classification of information needs in which a tripartition has been made according to the different types of situations: communicative needs, cognitive needs, and operative needs. This is a classification that is relevant and useful in general in our modern information society and therefore also relevant for information science, including lexicography.

Takk til Arild Midthun og Egmont for bidragene deres! Takk til min veileder Erik Bjerck Hagen for å ha hatt troen på at prosjektet er gjennomførbart! Videre vil jeg takke alle de andre professorene i øverste etasje i HF-bygget for tysk irettesettelse og bergensk sjarm som har gjort studietiden til et akademisk Mekka! Takk for korrekturlesningen, Joakim Tjøstheim! Takk for alle de fuktige kveldene, Vingrisen! Til slutt vil jeg takke alle de flotte menneskene jeg har møtt og vennene jeg har fått under lektorutdanningen. Det er dere som gjør det verdt å komme ut i verdens beste yrke! 2 What is the future of comic books in the modern era? I’m very much scared that comics don’t have a very good future. There will have to be a cycle which reader interest goes back to reading again. Right now, it seems as everybody’s mind is caught up on these new games that come on television and things you can get by touching a button and watching a monitor. Pretty soon the mind will tire of those things and perhaps go back to reading. The wonderful thought of being alone with your thoughts and having something in your hand that you can just read and enjoy rather than having to sit in front of a television monitor looking at somebody else’s stuff moving around on the screen; You’re just a spectator you’re not doing anything to help yourself understand what’s going on.
