So, I suppose Roep would have told Barks, "Erase all those unnecessary
lemmings!"  :)

On the other hand, if Image had been publishing it, how many lemmings
would Barks have been required to stuff onto a page?  To say nothing
of the glow-in-the-dark lemmings spilling off the cover...


When he scored the coup of establishing an e-mail link to Don Rosa,
Per Starback cautioned:

Does Per's admonition mean that discussions like this one should
be held sub rosa?
