Mine too! I have a print of it framed over the bureau in my
bedroom! ^_^
(I also have a print of "Nobody's Spending Fool" above my bed!,
right below the "Hearts of the Yukon" lithograph that came with
my Gladstone Lo$ album. ;)

This sounds like a good topic for others to add to. What if any
Disney comic art do you have permanently displayed in your house
or office?

Well, this is easy!
At the moment on my wall I have these originals:

http://www.dimensionedelta.net/dcml/topolino.jpg (Romano Scarpa)
http://www.dimensionedelta.net/dcml/molla.jpg (Luciano Gatto)
http://www.dimensionedelta.net/dcml/lylascia.jpg (Claudio Sciarrone)
http://www.dimensionedelta.net/dcml/millicent.jpg (Alessandro Barbucci)

I plan to put all of the sketches I have (you can see them all here
http://www.dimensionedelta.net/dcml/intro.html, my introdu(k)tion page) on
the wall... but the wall is little, I don't know how to do.

Nice topic!
I have all five of Dreidreizhen's calendars/portfolios (1995-1999) and have
framed several; I rotate them.
One large window, the furniture (and lots of books) take up a lot of room,
and a few recent additions complicated things even more.

On the wall to my right:
- one a vertical frame (50*40); currently, "Only a Poor Old Man" (from
Ehapa's cover portfolio)

Right in front of me, above the computer:
- Helnwein's "Sixtieth Birthday - Donald Duck" poster (80*60 cm - vertical);
here to stay
- next to it (left) 2 horistonal frames (50*40) with Barks paintings;
currently, "Heat Wave" (turned out to be most literally appropriate this
year) and "Return to Morgan's Island" (I love that one; nice colors)
- left of these, above bookshelves, a vertical frame; currently, Daan
Jippes' "Mystery of the Swamp" cover (DDA7) (which I scanned, cleaned up,
and printed on A3 paper-- 42*29.7); I love this cover; I'd like to do the
same with "Merry Christmas" (Barks cover), "The Old Castle's Secret", ... ;
I did that with "Terror of the River" (scanned from the first volume of
the hardcover CBL)

Left wall (ie, sitting at the computer), above the door:
- a map of The Shire (from a set of 6 maps from TLOTR)-- sued to be Don
Rosa's signed Pertwillaby / Captain Kentucky poster; I'll put it up
elsewhere

Same wall, above all my Disney comics:
- two vertical frames; currently, "Sailing the Spanish Main" (one of my
favorites) and "Flubbity Dubbity Duffer"
- to the left, above the bookshelves & my bed, a splendid Dufex map of
Middle Earth (80*60)
- also two horizontal frames, currently with "An Embarrassment of Riches"
and "Sport of Tycoons" underneath

Finally, above my bed (my head, ie):
- one vertical frame with "Live It Up, Kid!" (never changes)
- one horizontal frame, currently holding "Dam Disaster at Money Lake"

That's all.
Well, in 30*20, frames I also have a couple of pictures (printed scans--
"The Expert", "Terror of the River", ...) to display with my Disney comics.
Plus a few Disney items.
I wish I had more room to store more books & CD's, and hang more prints (the
Money Bin blueprints poster, for instance).


Best wishes,

Olivier

I have the original page 12 of "The Suspect Blonde" (S 80066) hanging in
my office. It's all there with Scarpa's pencil and Del Conte's ink... I
think that Brix Lichtenberg bought page 11, but this goes quite a few
years back, so my memory probably fails me. Brix, still here?

My office is actually a fine place to hang such a little treasure, and I
get many questions from the students that usually pop by.

The format is like a small poster, like two "American Letter format"
sheets put on top of each other--perhaps slightly bigger.

Well in my *room* I have currently only one Disney comic art displayed on
the wall. It's the very nice fan-drawing I got from Don Rosa last year as a
reward for the inspiration I gave him for "Gyro's First Invention". It
actually shows ME as Little Helper! A very nice drawing indeed!
