Subject: Re: DD's life in an eggshell

For those who don't want to read anything more about my likings/dislikings 
of Rota I'll start with the relationship Grandma Duck-$. Having had the 
question up in a norwegian news list I have gotten several answers from 
other faithful norwegian DD-readers through several decades. None of them 
can remember anything other than the: "My life in an eggshell" suggesting 
that GD is $'s sister.

I don't know if the Four Color Comic series has been printed in Norway, but 
I'll try to check it out.

The first part was right: I like Rosa's style very much. But I was trying to 
say that as long as there was a continuos story I can agree that Rota has a 
style of his own that has its value. Only that style didn't work out in 
one-frame shots, somehow (not easy trying to discuss such things in a 
foreign language pr. email, but I hope the meaning gets through anyway).

Actually I am one of few norwegian DD-lovers I know that likes the DD Pocket 
series we have in Norway. Very many italian stories in them. The quality is 
_very_ varying, but I find enough good stories to justify buying them. 
Actually I have the whole collection (about 156 at the moment). I don't have 
a clue about under what name they may be presented in other countries.

About "coral barques". I had the feeling somehow the answer would be 
something like that...
