Sorry for the off topic but that is not entirely true . Aku Ankka ( finnish for Disney Comics ) is one of the best selling weekly magazine in Finland for over a half a century . The story is an exageration of the media because in 1977 a councilman proposed disontinuing the founds to youth centers to buy the comic magazine because of the city's financial problems . Don Rosa ( legendary writer and illustrator known for his stories about Scrooge and Donald Duck etc. ) attends cons every year in Finland and he is treated like royalty .
