    Was it also possible to subscribe to the pocket books in Sweden? I had a subscription growing up in Iceland (Donald Duck is huge over there as well)

      I didn’t collect them myself, so I actually don’t know.

      But it seems like a pretty safe bet to assume you could.

      What is Donald Duck called in Icelandic? In Sweden he is kalled Kalle Anna and in Denmark I think Anders And.

      Hewey Dewey and Lewey is called Knatte Fnatte and Tjatte.

        The comics were only available in Danish for a while so we mostly took the Danish names, so in Icelandic Donald is Andrés Önd (similar to Anders And).
        The nephews are Ripp, Rapp and Rupp (Rip, Rap and Rup in Danish).
        Funnily enough there’s a generational gap between people who call Goofy Fedtmule (the Danish name) or Guffi (the Icelandic translation name)!
