    Hey Daniël,

>>> [Daniël seems] to be suggesting that Carl Barks would have liked

>> I understood Daniel's comment as an analogy: If Barks had wanted
>> to copyright Scrooge (which he did not and could not due to his
>> contract with Western and the similarity to the Disney ducks in
>> general) he would have run into the problem that a character
>> already existed which was _very_ similar to his Scrooge McDuck,
>> namely the duck from Disney's "Spirit of 43s".

> Yes, Cord, this is what I meant.
