+Postage Due+Disney-comics digest #132.

[Don Rosa]

	Barks' comic book language was not American 1950's slang and
idioms. It was the slang of the 1920's, Barks' formative years -- this
is the main reason his dialogue had such a unique feel to our 1950's
eyes. It was the talk of the "23 skiddoo", "O, you kid", "So's yer ol'
man" days -- the stuff that Barks and his buddies would speak around the
CALGARY EYEOPENER offices.
