Amadeu and Canini

[Fernando Ventura]

Graciously Paolo Fontanesi sent to me a scan which I am happy to make
available to the list.  However, in my humble opinion, it looks very,
very much like the way Renato Canini would have drawn Ellsworth. I
suspect that Canini played fast and loose with the character of Ellsworth
and just borrowed him for Jose's cast for a while without explaining
anything.  I'd like to hear other opinions since, even thought this
is apparently a story reprinted from Brazil into an Italian publication
and the name is only slightly altered to "Amedeo", I'm betting that
most would agree that he is still Ellsworth (Genius, Gancio, etc.).

    I didn't find here in my house the Amadeu's story, because I'm in change
and the most big part of my collection is in my new house. When I find it, I
will do a scan of the entire story.
In my opinnion he is Ellsworth. there are no reason to not be.
I just love the Renato Canini's work. It is a shame that Disney put him out
of the production. Maybe he is the best brazilian creator, because much of
histories was writted by him too. Unfortunatelly there are just one way to
know exactilly how many and which of them; asking to him. But I didn't know
nothing about he today. I think he live on Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
Any brazilian menber knows more about Canini?

Fernando!
