I notice you didn't mention me above, Sigvald. Should I take that as a
lack of respect for me? Or simply as you not having the room (and time)
to list every Disney creator ever born?

Fact is, this was an article in a *Danish* newspaper, aimed at *Danish*
readers. *Of course* they would mention two of the most popular
current-day Danish Disney creators. I suspect that if the article had
been in a Norwegian paper, there would have been references to Håkon
Aasnes and Olaf Solstrand. And possibly you.
