Don Rosa fund

Don Rosa:

Yes, let's give it the motto "Donate U.s. Currency for Keno" (Keno being
Don's first name). Don could even advertise this himself by putting 
"D.U.C.K." in the first panels of his stories...

But how could we get the money to Don?

Isn't there a way to do things cheaper, e.g. downloading messages, off-line
editing, uploading the answers?

BTW: Don's story about Nostrildamus has just been reprinted in Holland (DD
Extra 4, 1993). The translation is quite good. DD Extra 5 will reprint
Don's story "Treasure Under Glass". I guess they will reprint a Rosa
story in every DD Extra; maybe to keep the collectors buying it since
they don't reprint Barks paintings anymore...
(From 1987 to 1992, every [monthly] issue of 'DD Extra' had a reproduction
of a Barks oil painting on the back. They stopped this, because they ran out 
of reproduceable paintings.)
