What can we say about Barks?

[Paralyzed Buffalo]

The ‘famous’ screwing around scene? We haven’t even read that scene, maybe there isn’t even such a scene, so what are you talking about?

Long-Toe-Spotty not having imagination. He not seeing deeper, hidden layers in fabulous stories of Great Artist Don. All other readers do. Not Stephan. That unforgivable for real Don-fan like Spotty. Don not happy now. He disappointed in Stephan. That being big pitty.

"This may be suicide, but it's my ONLY chance to win this race!" (which Barks story?)"

No one got this one, so I'll give the answer--it's from "The Long Race to Pumpkinburg," the story where Donald and the boys have an ice-skating race. It's spoken by Donald as he lights the fuse on a rocket that he hopes will shoot him over the finish line ahead of the kids. One of my favorite examples of the impetuous, obsessive nature of this duck.

So fast the answer already? Where were the hints?

New quote:
"And I have a MORTGAGE on those fancy clothes you're wearing! Get back to your hotel and take them off!"

Question Quiz: Did Barks make any Easter-stories?

[Robb_K]

Barks wrote and drew WDC Nr. 151 about The Easter Parade in Duckburg, in which Donald tries to beat Gladstone out for being Grand Marshall of The Parade. Then he has to wear an embarrassing Easter Bunny outfit.

I can't remember any others, offhand.

[Stephan]

Luck of the North? Donald is happy he got rid of Gladstone by making a fake treasure-map. Slowly it dawns on him his joke is dangerous. Two classic pages every artist should look at every day, just to keep on the track with Donald.

Yes, that's the one.

There's also at least one Easter cover.

Where's Keessie? He is the Barks-quiz Wizard.

Egg wonders what Paralyzed Buffalo thinks of Barks's indian language:

- "Bringum paleface to ceremonial rock! Indian must haveum vengeance!"
- "Me gottum medicine ready!"
- "Me call upon totems of our long-gone ancestors to witness what goin' to happen!"
(Which story? All quotes are from the same one.)

Quotes come from b/w CBL.

[Doctor Witchie Britchie]

Sorry about not posting some hints, Egg--not used to the quote ettiquette.

"And I have a MORTGAGE on those fancy clothes you're wearing! Get back to your hotel and take them off!"

That's the Mayor of Duckburg to the Maharajah of Howduystan in in "Statuesqe Spendthrifts."

All the Indian quotes come from "Land of the Totem Poles."

You're sorry? Is that all? I'm still clutched. You'll have to deliver a new Barks-quote to convince Egg of your well-meant honest regrets.

"I am the city rat inspector! If this house has rats, it will have to be torn down!"
(which story?)

That's a great, funny line that's not in the Dutch translation! You see, *this* is what I mean when I say a translator can make or break a story.

[Doctor Witchie Britchie]

"I am the city rat inspector! If this house has rats, it will have to be torn down!"

This is from the Will O' the Wisp story, spoken by Scrooge, who's trying to trick Donald into selling his house.

"Uh-oh! Call the wild goose! We're on our way again!" (which Barks story)

I promise to give hints this time, Egg--if not, old Doctor Witchie Britchie promise to takee some of his own wonder drugs (blech!)

[Egg]

"Uh-oh! Call the wild goose! We're on our way again!" (which Barks story)

Wild goose? Is it something said by the Beagle Boys? (Where's my Barks Quiz Cheats Compendium?)

Is Witchie Britchie doctor of elusive, wise indian Paralyzed Buffalo?

[Egg]

"My grandmother's smelling salts! He's made me into a SHARK!"
(which story?)

That why Egg is fond of using the (hopefully) original quotes, also on the Dutch section, so people can notice the difference. Now you have Barks's own language. I try to choose the quotes so, that also people without original versions, should be able to guess them.

Who knows the answer to the wedding question, btw? I found it a difficult one when it was asked to me in a real-life Barks Quiz.

Question is insult for Paralyzed Buffalo. Egg thinks me stupid?
This typical Indian talk-talk is from story with giant steam-organ Donald is trying to sell in the north. Is one of best Barks stories I know. With heremite in grotto who buys steam-organ from nephews. Donald messing things up with "make-up-box" which he exchanged with nephews for sample of organ.
Not know title, me not having Barks Library unfortunately.
