COMMENTS ON #22:
	If there ever was a one-page gag which involved HD&L having colored hats or sweaters which corresponded to the DUCKTALES color schemes, 
it was pure coincidence. Prior to DUCKTALES, there was NO designation of what color what nephew wore. And no one associated with 
DUCKTALES had ever read Uncle $crooge stories beforehand EXCEPT for Jymn Magon... and it's unlikely he would have remembered that 
obscure gag -- and there's no way he could have looked it up to check on it since Disney does not have ANY records of the contents of 
the old Dell or Gold Key comics. All the DUCKTALES writers had to go on was a set of Another Rainbow's Barks Library. Furthermore, 
after Magon let the head writers read through the library, they returned it with the comment "there's not much here to use".
	As for DUCK DAZE, it will be tolerable only in the same fashion as DUCKTALES is tolerable -- by considering it as "pure fiction". 
It'll be another TV show that the children in Duckburg watch on TV.
