<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi again</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still r</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>eading old
dcml's I read Olafs mail from <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Wed, 14 May
2003 18:35:47 </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>as a reaction to sigvalds mail. I have to say that was a very wellwritten
mail. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am only going to comment on this paragraph (I put
it here, as it's some time ago)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>>No, that only proves what the editors of the weeklies think
of [Don]</DIV>
<DIV>Yeah, you're right there. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>>I heard<BR>>that they will put it on the front when _my_ first story
comes (in Norway,<BR>>that is) in six weeks - does that prove that I am a
very important creator?<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>No, it proves that you are
interesting to the norwegian reader - this story was done </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by one of our country - lets read it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the story in danish and swedish, no name
there - but remember we've had danes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>writing and drawing stories for years. - you are
the first one in many years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW I hope one of you norwegian friends have
thought of me on the issue with that story?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>>No, I'm not. The editors like Don Rosa, plus I guess they feel that
putting<BR>>his name on front pages would SELL more. (I hope no publishers
reading this<BR>>are offended.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's simply a fact. I have just been in Sweden - and I will tell about
it here eventually - </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and in every comic shop I went to, the name
Don Rosa made a used issue of Kalle Anka </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be worth 5 times as much as one without. Even 5
times as much as one with a story by </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>old CARL. These conditions are absolutely insane,
but true. As a result of those prises </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my swedish Rosa-collection is still incomplete - it
could have been complete if I had used </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>another 700 kr on 28 issues...</FONT></DIV>
