Even so, I can't help being pleased that vol. 2 provides a printing of this story where the two errors are corrected at last. (These errors apparently came from the main Egmont office when they created the text version of the script from Rosa's storyboard-script, see Rosa DCML July 2004, since they appeared in most European publications as well as the American.) To wit: On p. 2, on the form Donald fills out, the words "month" and "day" were reversed, making DD's birthdate Sept 6th rather than June 9th. And when Gus is sketching the family tree to show his relationship to Scrooge, the words "Scrooge" and "me" were reversed. Naturally, Rosa made that family tree accurate (with the exception of the absence of Donald in it!).Elainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-85223782284090872732009-10-05T19:12:14.823-04:002009-10-05T19:12:14.823-04:00Incidentally, it's good--and surprising!--to s...Incidentally, it's good--and surprising!--to see an actual duck fan here.

So Rosa figured out a way in which the characters could refer to Donald's birthday as his 60th, by joking about a mistake made by his employer.<br /><br />The nephew acknowledges the understanding, shared by artist and reader, though not by the characters, that in reality, Donald is indeed 60 years old. (Or even 75, nowadays!)Michiel Pnoreply@blogger.com
