I just read Don's comments regarding the Gladstone publishing of
his Donald Duck 60th anniversary story.  I have to admit that I
didn't catch all of the mistakes that Don talks about.  The only 
one that I noticed was the job application that has Donald
being born on September 6th...this bothered me a lot, and I kept
thinking about it as I read the last of the story.  I couldn't 
figure out if this was considered 'artwork' or 'lettering',
and so I couldn't realize the reason for it.  Was it a mistake
by the letterer or an intentional 'joke' by Don.  I guess I
know the answer now.

Other than that, I have to disagree with Don's critique of
his own work.  I actually enjoyed the story a great deal...I
would have to say that it is my second favorite Don Rosa story.
The first is the one where the Beagle Boys steal Gyro's device 
for stopping time.  Sadly, I'm not very good at remembering 
story titles.  I guess that this might be because they have a
science fiction/fantasy aspect to them.

I wasn't too happy about the framing sequence.  I think that it
detracted from the story, and didn't really see any point for
including it.  I would much have preffered to have the book build 
up to Don's birthday story.

I really worry about Disney's censorship...I hope that real bad things
don't start happening when the last few chapters of Life of Scrooge
are ready to be published by Gladstone.  Any chance that Gladstone 
can publish "War of the Wendigo" as an album.  I thought that Disney
was a little more tolerant about these because they were sold to a
\different audience.  In any case, Don, don't change their aspects too
much; maybe you could just use some slight variations on clothing, hair,
and such features.  Anything else would diminish the sequel aspect.

I'd still like to see Gladstone publish it as an album, though.  Any
chance that they'll do both?
