funny germans 2: donald duck
This is a really interesting story from Light Reading over there on the right about how the translator of Germany's Donald Duck gave the Germans a more considerable literary and comic achievement than the rest of us enjoyed. German Donald quotes from the classics and sub-textualises about politics. Telling quotation from the piece: 'many Germans credit him with having initiated them into the language of the literary classics.'
