Here are some reactions on the various postings of last week.

Don Rosa's taste

Don about Mickey:

and Don about Italian comics production:

and about Van Horn:

I have been wondering - Don, is there *any* Disney comic you like besides
Barks and your own stories? I'm very curious about that...
BTW: my favourites are 1. Barks, 2. Jippes, 3. Rosa. In that order. 8-)


Volker Reiche
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Per:
> (...) there's an article "Donald Duck =
> Artist's Dreamfigure?" by Volker Reiche (...)

Whatever happened to Volker Reiche? He once did some (6) stories for the
Dutch in the early 80s, and I have seen some of is "Hamburger Donaldist"
work. Is he still doing Disney comics? If not, why did he stop?


The Van Horn "ray" story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Torsten:
> Did anyone catch the logic error in the recent DDA story by Van Horn?

The only thing I saw, was that Huey wore his cap in the last panels of
the story, while that cap should have been 10 times bigger... but he
could have gotten a spare cap between two panels...


Keno Don Rosa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don:

Did you know that "Gioachino" is the same name as "Joakim/Joachim"? This
is the Scandinavian name for Scrooge! So in a way, your name "Keno" actually
is the same as "Scrooge". Coincidence? 8-)

That's it for now..
