So we don't get back to the time when Gladstone published *six* to *eight*
comics a month? Pity...

But I thought it was an excellent idea! I have phantasized about the 
possibility myself for a while, and it was nice to see that someone else
had thought about that too. Only I would have stated that the "frozen"
things are not hard as stone: they still fall over if you push them when time
is frozen. That would have solved the air-freezing problem, but then again,
the Beagle Boyes wouldn't have been able to walk on birds, or get trapped
the way they did...

What I heard is that they have to pay a (low) price for administration,
paper, etc.

Don, you also said you liked Ludwig Von Drake. I already expected that
since you drew him in the "Pied Piper of Duckburg" story, for no
particular reason.

I don't see Von Drake as part of the Barks universe, though, and I'm glad
Barks and others put their veto on you using him...
