<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Søren, I agree with much of what you say. Too many
hard facts (technical or historical) can bog down a story. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But when Don Rosa COMBINES his technical
knowledge with his vivid imagination, the result can be hilarious. Here is just
one example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In "A matter of some gravity", Magica
puts a spell on Scrooge and Donald so that - for them - gravity works sideways.
I suppose even a non-engineer could come up with an idea like that, but
could anyone BUT an engineer make so much of it? Like when
the nephews</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>use Donald to pull their
wagon (he 'falls' sideways along the street), or when Scrooge and Donald ride
the bus and have to stand on the inside of the front windshild - with disastrous
results when the bus makes a U-turn? I think you would have to be an engineer
with an analytical mind to think of these things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's an interesting question. Maybe other list
members have more examples.</FONT></DIV>
