Unpublished Material

I agree with Lars, that just because an artist or writer wrote or drew 
something in unpublished or deleted material, or made some personal notes, does 
not mean that that information should be automatically used as "canon" 
or "gospel", by other Disney production contributors or fan "analysts".  This 
is especially true of notes and story portions that have been deleted by the 
artist, himself, which have been contradicted by that artist's final version.  
Such situations must be looked at individually, on a case by case basis.  Even 
then, i am sure we would never get everyone to agree as to whether a given bit 
of information should be the "official" version.  As a Duckburg "geographer" 
and "historian", I want to use ALL the information possible (but without 
contradictions). This requires assumptions to be made about those 
contradictions to "correct" them (e.g. some of the information must be ignored, 
or "seen in a different light"). 

Notice that I have resisted the temptation to go off-topic (except for this 
comment)8-!

Thanks Olivier and Fernando, for your help with comic book information from 
your countries.
