Well, only the basic IDEA looks like that Barks story. Apart from that, the
stories are in fact totally different.
BTW: I didn't say THIS story was a theft; that only applied to "Super Snooper".
I will read the "Super Snooper" story again, see if I can detect the deeper
meanings. I never read super hero comics, I don't like them at all.

I like your stories that have references to other stories, but which
still can be read without knowing those other stories. Most of your stories
are this way. I hope you keep making your sequels like this.
