<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-And I agree. No doubt, Don Rosa is a great storyteller. As long as it
comes to longer adventurestories - Barks, Rosa and Rota are, IMHO, the greatest
tellers... </DIV>
<DIV>Lots of other folk write great scripts for shorter stories - but not as
consistently as the three mentioned above. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Didier again:</DIV>
<DIV>"why you do not start selling scripts that others would draw in
parrallell to writting and drawing stories. "</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-Please. Don't. Do NOT stop drawing your stories. I cannot imagine Barks
stories drawn by e.g. Vicar or Branca - as well as I cannot imagine a Rosa-story
without the special Rosa-art - which I like and admire. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I your recent post on the list you are wondering
why you are so popular. I believe the reason is obvious. You have one thing in
comon with Barks : you are a GREAT storyteller.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It does not matter that your art is far from
being the best around, that you don't have the artist training and
blablabla.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What matters is that your scripts are way, way
above those of the other Disney artists and that therefore your stories can't
be forgotten.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which actually makes me wonder (especially if you
would like to improve your revenues) why you do not start selling scripts that
others would draw in parrallell to writting and drawing
stories.</FONT> </DIV>
