Culture and entertainment: Don Rosa himself informed about this in the Facebook group “The Official Don Rosa Group”.

In the post, Rosa said she had received an email from Disney, in which the company wrote that the story no longer fits with the company’s values.

– We are aware of this problem, and this also applies to some publications in Norway, informs the press contact Tonje Tornes Online newspapers.

According to Rosa, it concerns the stories “The richest man in the world” and “The dream of a lifetime”. Tornes would not comment on which story was in question, but there was speculation that the controversy involved “Bombie The Zombie” characters. He is a dark skinned zombie that Uncle Skrue met in Africa. The character appears at the end of the two stories.

– In our little duck pond, we have known for a long time that this could happen, he told NTB, adding that he found it sad.

– I myself grew up with Donald Duck & Co, where the highlight of each week was “Disney classics for new readers’ delight”, which were of course reprints of classic Carl Barks stories. It is precisely Barks and Rosa’s legacy that we are trying to develop further in our small production, and I feel confident that our story will continue to find new readers at home and abroad, as well as in the future, he continued.

Museum director Karin Hindsbo emphasized that the National Museum did not cancel. After the debate, the museum decided to hang Krohg’s work on the first floor for four weeks.

And in England, the British publisher Puffin, which publishes Roald Dahl’s children’s books, will change some of the words in the book. Words like “fat” and “ugly” disappeared, and some characters became gender neutral.

Gyldendal, who published the Norwegian-British Dahl book in Norway, initially said they too had to make changes. For now, it’s unclear whether the changes will occur here, and are currently only in effect in the UK.

The Egmont media group is responsible for distributing Donald Duck cartoons in Norway.

Arild Midthun, the official Norwegian Donald cartoonist, said it was sad, but unexpected, that Disney had stopped republishing some of the stories.

There is currently debate in Norway about what constitutes cancellation. That flared up after National Museum collections director Stina Högkvist called Christian Krohg’s “Leiv Eiriksson discovers America” ​​too colonial. He later regretted this.
