It just doesn't appear that a career track of that sort exists here in the US anymore. Is it reasonable to hope such career tracks still exist in other climes than North America, in places (and markets) that nurtured the likes of Scarpa, Rota, Branca, Vicar, to name just a few of the greats who remain under-acknowleged over here?</div><div><br></div><div>Gary</div><br><div><div>On Jan 19, 2012, at 4:13 AM, <a href="mailto:dcml-request@nafsk.se">dcml-request@nafsk.se</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; ">Greetings to Kristel and Everyone Else!<br><br>It is hard to say if Don Rosa checks anything here any more: I know he responded back in the good old days, when he was still active in creating comic stories.<br><br>Perhaps you do not know that he has suffered eye problems prompting his retirement.<br><br>I agree: Don Rosa was a most worthy heir to the legacy of the great Carl Barks!
