About the story with the song "The Screaming Cowboy":
According to panel 1.2 and 1.3, Donald has been writing songs for three weeks until he succeeds by selling one of them, "The Screaming Cowboy". In panel 1.5, the song's lyrics are shown:

Oh, bury me thar
with my battered git-tar
a-screamin' my heart out fer yew

http://www.seriesam.com/barks/detc_ccus_wdc0137-02.html

The explanation doesn't leave open that in "reality" the lyrics might be longer and that only a portion is sung as an example.
So, the explanation should be that "in panel 1.5, lyrics of the song are shown".

"Blue streak" is an American idiom that signifies anything moving at such high speed to essentially appear as a blur, so it would not matter what color clothing the individual was wearing. He would never be considered a streak of any color but blue.

On DCML there are more emails about the subject.

Our Gang
http://www.seriesam.com/barks/comicsog.html

The links to COA/Inducks are dead. ("No story found")

Example:

Guidebook-link
http://www.seriesam.com/barks/comicsog008.html#ccus_og0008-x1
COA-link
http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/story.php/0/Qus/QOG+++8

I know Our Gang is non-Disney, but the stories were agreed to be included in the database of Inducks. However, I've heard there were complaints by some who wanted it to be... removed. So, I'm puzzled by this. Is it just a change of code, or is my information on this lost at Inducks, unannounced?

Another mistake. Dutch translation of Barks interview by Boatner ends up with all bold text.

http://www.seriesam.com/barks/comicseuse.html#cceu_se_kac200227-01

Jippes's redrawn version reportedly has Pluto changed into a Woodchuck hound. Egg has to check for sure.

Barks's script contains "Pluto, the official hound". As seen in for example panel 3.6:
- "Well, lucky this troop has TWO brave members!"
- "Great I.R.O.N.H.E.A.R.T. and Pluto, the official hound!"

(The script is omitted in the CBL for having being lost at the time. It has been discovered since and published in Der Donaldist 112, 2000, Germany.)

Details: Donald's boot shown on page 21 to 24, travels from his right-foot to his left-foot and back.

Another "detail". Scrooge seems to be suddenly, briefly wearing a Santa Claus coat in panel 15.8. Judging the stripes on the fur on his right sleeve. They look exactly like those on the Santa Claus clothes in the story.

Corrected.

About the story with the song "The Screaming Cowboy":
According to panel 1.2 and 1.3, Donald has been writing songs for three weeks until he succeeds by selling one of them, "The Screaming Cowboy". In panel 1.5, the song's lyrics are shown:

The explanation doesn't leave open that in "reality" the lyrics might be longer and that only a portion is sung as an example.
So, the explanation should be that "in panel 1.5, lyrics of the song are shown".

Corrected.

Cause is that indexes of so-called "Q"-items (off-topic items) have been taken off COA.

Inducks-field of Inducks Q-items changed into plain text, so that the Inducks-code appears but no link.

At a lot of other Inducks-items there are still broken links. Foreign publications, for example. These problems have to do with technical filtering settings that need some extra attention and can't be fixed at this moment.
