Well, maybe because it is! There's such a thing as an average, and
a very large majority considers the Dutch average lots higher than
the Danish average - and has done so for years.

Well, Harry, it looks like you're completely agreeing with Simo, after all!

Please give at least one example (with Dutch issue number) of a "very
good" Danish story. I cannot think of one; the highest rate I ever gave
one, is 'reasonable'.

But that's not a feat deserving any credit, as the Germans have hardly
produced *anything*  in almost half a century, and the French have
discontinued doing so, because of their conversion to Barks and Rosa.
This is rather sad, as their own artists made very charming work.
