That is the exact opposite of my opinion. It is the details and explanations
that makes Dons stories appealing to me. As a "systematic" child (and now as
an engineer) I have always wondered about everything. I think that Rosas
stories are interesting _because_ he tries to explain the facts in the
duck-universe. In addition, all the small details lets you read the story
again and again just to look for something new.

Speaking of details like colors of coins etc., it really annoyes me
tremendously when the stories are badly (or wrongly) colored. Reading Rosa
stories last night I noticed that the hair-bundle in Scrooges coffin (from
his "favourite dog" ;-) had a blue ribbon, while it was referred to as red
in the text. In another story the sky was colored light blue even though it
was clearly night (just lit by lightning). I feel that these things ruins my
experience of the story.
