Gammus diptherocus (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.quakpiep.de/Barks.html
Ob der Artname "Gammus diptherocus" irgendeine Entsprechung in der realen Wissenschaft der Rennflöhe hat ist mir nicht bekannt. In Entenhausen gehört diese Art jedenfalls zur Familie "Curropulexidae" = "Rennflöhe". Die Bezeichnung "Gammus diptherocus" könnte sich möglicherweise als "Hin- und herspringender Zweiflügler" übersetzen lassen ("gampen" = "hüpfen", "springen" und "diptera" = "Zweiflügler"). - Wenn da nicht die Aussage zu finden wäre: "Flügel oder deren Ansätze sind nicht vorhanden." - ???

"Pfeilnäsiger Erdfloh", "Gammus diptherocus"
Barks, 1958
Der Pfeilnäsige Erdfloh ist ein insektenähnliches Lebewesen von mikroskopischer Größe. Über Verbreitungsgebiet und Lebensweise ist so gut wie nichts bekannt. Sicher ist jedoch, dass der Pfeilnäsige Erdfloh ein sehr schneller Läufer ist. Diese Tatsache wird gerne zur Veranstaltung von "Insektenrennen" gegen unterlegene Gegner genutzt. Obwohl sein morphologischer Aufbau deutlich sichtbar ist, kann dieser nur schwer gedeutet werden, da die Abweichungen vom allgemein recht starren Bauschema der Insekten erheblich sind. Der gut abgrenzbare Kopf trägt einen in einen nach vorne gerichteten Widerhaken auslaufenden Pfeil, der vom übrigen Kopf äußerlich nicht zu trennen ist. es handelt sich dabei also vermutlich nicht um ein Mundwerkzeug im eigentlichen (Insekten-) Sinn. Solche finden sich in Form zahnähnlicher Gebilde im oberen Mundteil. Die "Zunge" ist als Rudiment der unteren Kauwerkzeuge aufzufassen. Antennen fehlen, stattdessen sitzen sieben langgezogene Hautlappen auf dem Kopf. Der Hinterkopf wirkt bepelzt. Die zwei Augen scheinen Linsenaugen zu sein. Das Brustteil ist für Insekten völlig atypisch, aber gut abgrenzbar. Hinter dem Kopf befindet sich ein Segment, das unbepelzt und nach unten dunkel gefärbt ist. Es folgen fünf Segmente, die nur auf dem Rücken abgrenzbar sind. An diesem Körperabschnitt sitzen diffus verteilt sechs Beine, die keine Gliederung aufweisen und unten in vier Krallen auslaufen.
Flügel oder deren Ansätze sind nicht vorhanden. Es könnte sich hier vielleicht um eine rein äußerliche Segmentverdoppelung (sechs Einschnürungen bei drei Segmenten, die den drei Beinpaaren entsprechen würden) handeln, wie man sie z.B. von manchen Ringelwürmern kennt. Diese Hypothese ist jedoch unsicher, weil solch ein Vorgang bei Gliederfüßern bisher nicht nachgewiesen wurde (zudem würde das den Erdfloh aus dem Stammbaum der Insekten herauskatapultieren). Der Hinterleib des Erdflohs ist stummelförmig und unsegmentiert, aber mit ähnlichen Hautlappen wie der Kopf versehen.
Die Tatsache, dass bestimmte Insektenmerkmale (wie z.B. die Dreigliederung des Körpers mit sechs Beinen, die am Brustteil entspringen) vorhanden sind, lässt zu, den Erdfloh als eine durch zahlreiche Sondermerkmale geprägte Übergangsform zwischen Tausendfüßlern und primitiven Insekten zu postulieren. Der Pfeilnäsige Erdfloh gehört also vermutlich wie auch seine Verwandte die Stachelhäutige Blattwanze (Buggus ostecrockus) und Grauenhafter Vielfuß; (s.d.), einer Tiergruppe an, die in unserer Welt noch völlig unbekannt ist.
Der Erdfloh ist somit stammesgeschichtlich sehr alt.

katzenjammer, Katzenjammer Kids (W3)

= "hangover", "distress", "a discordant clamor".
"Katzenjammer" comes from the German "Katze" = "cat" and "Jammer" = "distress" or "lamentation". English speakers borrowed the word in the 19th century. It's well-known to many because of the "Katzenjammer Kids" a long-running comic strip featuring the incorrigibly mischievous twins Hans and Fritz.

Mickey Mouse History And A Little About Minnie Mouse
...
It was on this train ride back to Los Angeles from New York City that Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse. He knew he had to come up with a new character and created a mouse. (It is interesting to note that this mouse looked quite similar to Oswald the Rabbit. The main differences being Mickey Mouse had short round ears instead of long bunny ears, a longer nose, a long skinny mouse tail instead of a bunny tail, and skinnier legs and arms. The face, eyes, mouth and hairline were very similar.) Walt wanted to name the mouse character "Mortimer", but his wife, Lilly, didn’t like that name and suggested "Mickey Mouse".

"Mickey Mouse" made his debut to the general public in a film named "Steamboat Willie" on November 19, 1928, at the Colony Theatre in New York. This film also featured the first appearance of "Minnie Mouse", as well as the world’s first use of fully synchronized sound in cartoons. "Mickey" and "Minnie" were instant hits. In fact, Mickey Mouse was so popular that over a million children joined the original Mickey Mouse Club between 1929 and 1932. The "Mickey Mouse Club" later became a popular children’s television series that aired on ABC from 1955 to 1959. The show featured talented kids called Mouseketeers who sang, danced, performed skits, and introduced special guests and Disney cartoons.

Other interesting Mickey Mouse historical tidbits:

The original voice of Mickey Mouse was Walt Disney.
A special Academy Award was given to Walt Disney for the creation of Mickey Mouse in 1932.
The first Mickey Mouse cartoon in color was "The Band Concert" in 1935.
Mickey Mouse’s favorite sayings were "Oh boy!", "That sure is swell!", "Gosh!", "Aw, gee", and "See ya soon!".

"Erika Fuchs" die Erfindering von "piff", "paff", "puff" und "seufz"
"1951 erschien die Micky Maus zum ersten Mal in Deutschland. Als Übersetzerin der amerikanischen Geschichten wurde die promovierte Kunsthistorikerin Erika Fuchs, damals 44jährig, gefunden. Zwanzig Jahre lang übertrug sie sämtliche Disney-Comics ins Deutsche, später nur noch die Barks-Stories. Ihre Sprache hat Generationen geprägt und beeinflusst."

North American equivalent of a noddy (that is, trivial) program. Doesn't necessarily have the belittling connotations of mainstream slang "Oh, that's just mickey mouse stuff!"; sometimes trivial programs can be very useful.

Scrooge McDuck, Uncle Scrooge, scrooge, Dagobert Duck, Dagobert (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.hinternet.de/comic/e/entenwho.php
...
Die Rede ist von niemand anderem als von Donalds Onkel "Scrooge McDuck", der 1947 in dieser Entenpersiflage auf Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" von Carl Barks seinen ersten Auftritt hat und erst nach einer langwierigen Läuterung den Sinn des Weihnachtsfests erkennt und Donald letztlich ein wunderschönes Fest beschert.

Ursprünglich sollte "Scrooge McDuck" nur in dieser Geschichte auftauchen, doch der knauserige alte Sack, der hierzulande als "Dagobert Duck" bekannt wurde, entwickelte sich zum Publikumsliebling. Dieser Tage kann er auf seinen fünfzigsten Jahrestag im Entenkosmos zurückblicken.
...

Im Englischen heißt er noch treffend "Scrooge McDuck" = "Geizkragen-Ente", später "Uncle Scrooge".

Warum er im Deutschen den neutralen Namen "Dagobert Duck" erhielt ist nicht ersichtlich.

Da die deutschen Übersetzer aber bekannt waren für ihre Anspielungen ist zu vermuten, dass der Name "Dagobert" bewußt gewählt wurde wegen seiner Bedeutung, die sich zusammensetzt aus kelt.-gall.-germ. "daga" = "gut", "sehr" und ahd. "beraht" = "glänzend". Gemeint ist damit ursprünglich etwa "der sehr Berühmte". Im übertragenen Sinne kann man in "Dagobert" aber auch den "sehr (Gold-)Glänzenden" = "Reichen" sehen.

Die Bezeichnung "Scrooge" = "Geizhals" geht seinerseits zurück auf die Figur "Ebenezer Scrooge" in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" zurück.

Oh, er war ein wahrer Blutsauger, dieser Scrooge! Ein gieriger, zusammenkratzender, festhaltender, geiziger alter Sünder: hart und scharf wie ein Kiesel, aus dem noch kein Stahl einen warmen Funken geschlagen hat, verschlossen und selbstgenügsam und ganz für sich, wie eine Auster. Die Kälte in seinem Herzen machte seine alten Gesichtszüge starr, seine spitze Nase noch spitzer, sein Gesicht runzlig, seinen Gang steif, seine Augen rot, seine dünnen Lippen blau, und sie klang aus seiner krächzenden Stimme heraus. Ein frostiger Reif lag auf seinem Haupt, auf seinen Augenbrauen, auf dem starken struppigen Bart. Er schleppte seine eigene niedere Temperatur immer mit sich herum: in den Hundstagen kühlte er sein Kontor wie mit Eis, zur Weihnachtszeit machte er es nicht um einen Grad molliger. ...

A Vast Repository of Toonological Knowledge

Welcome to the world's first hypertext encyclopedia of "toons" — which will soon, I hope, come to be regarded as the Internet's most comprehensive source of information about the U.S. toon scene.

So, what's a "toon"?
A "toon" is a "cartoon" or "cartoon character" — "cartoon" referring not just to the animated kind, but also to such "still cartoons" as comic books, newspaper strips, magazine cartoons, etc.

Here at Don Markstein's Toonopedia™, we take a very broad view of what constitutes a toon. The basic idea is to cover the entire spectrum of American cartoonery.

I realize I haven't exactly blanketed the field yet, but I think the 600+ toon topics I've written up so far should qualify at least as a light coverlet. And it will get more inclusive as time goes on, as I intend to continue adding new ones and updating the ones I've got, into the indefinite future.

Yakky Doodle (USA 1960-1962) (W3)

Die Zeichentrickfigur "Yakky Doodle" ist ein Entenküken von geradezu unglaublicher Naivität, das von seinem freund "Chopper" immer wieder gerettet wird. Sein Name bezeichnet sein Gequassel gleich zweifach, als engl. "yakking" = "Quasselei" und engl. "doodle", das im 17. Jh. zunächst in der Bedeutung "Einfaltspinsel" auftrat.

Yank and Doodle (W3)

Die beiden Comicfiguren "Yank and Doodle" traten 1941 an um den Patriotismus amerikanischer Männer im zweiten Weltkrieg anzusprechen. "Yank" könnte eine Anspielung auf den alte US-Nationalgesang "Yabkee Doodle" und die Kurzform von "Yankee" sein.

Yellow Kid (W3)

Dieser Begriff für die englischsprachige "Regenbogenpresse" stammt aus der Zeit, als zum erstenmal Farbe im Zeitungsdruck eingesetzt werden konnte. Der erste verfügbare Farbstoff war Gelb, und die ersten die ihn einsetzten waren die Boulevardzeitungen.
Der erste Comic wurde auch mit dieser Zusatzfarbe gedruckt - der Name dieses Klassikers: "The Yellow Kid".
