He might be less important to you but he might be more important in the Disney comics history than you might have think.<BR>

But Sigvald, you can safely interpret high sales of Don's works means more people are interested in reading Don's works compared to Kelly's but i dont see the less amount of people reading/interested in kelly's works mean that's Kelly is less important than Don.<BR>

Hard to believe that some folks on this list (or is it just one folk?) believe that "Walt Kelly" is an unimportant artist. In the USA, Kelly is generally considered one of the greatest comic strip artists of the 20th Century ---<BR>
-- certainly his name recognition factor among the general public is well above Barks or Rosa --- <BR>
sure is odd how things are different....<BR>
there is even an annual festival held about Kelly.<BR>
