Horsing around

I accept your difficulties in sending the Wendigo poetry, however in what way could we 
possible get Disney to accept Gladstone publishing it (bomb threats, volunteering to 
visit Euro-Disney, promise to tell the world that it REALLY was Walt Disney after all  who 
made all those so called "Barks-stories", writing pleading letters in the thousands to 
Gladstone - or to Disney) ?

Re: Horsing Around with History

has been published in Norway (or at least the first half of the story) and I have my own 
copy on my desk when writing this! However, it's a minor disappointment. In quality it's 
on level with "King $crooge the First" (or what it was called that $crooge story in U$ 71I 
think,  with Barks manus only, after his "Doom Diamond"). A fairly traditional U$ story, 
adding a bit to the money bin myth (this time the bint is opened by $crooge imitating a 
horse's neighing (or what it's called), which he also does to get a horse cab. However,  
Van Horn is not able to add anything on the manus at all (no nice details in the 
background), and the sum of story and art is rather flat.

 How I would have loved to have someone who really understands Barks' stories to 
draw it. A Barks/Rosa team-up would have been the greatest thing to happen to comics 
since Allan Moore's Swamp Thing (and Watchmen (and the early Sandman by this 
Gaiman guy...))). However, there seems to be some problems in getting that to happen...

Re: Dick Moore and Gasoline Alley

For those wondering about this I highly recommend back issues of Comic's Review (not 
the same as Comic's Relief!) which has a lot of Gasoline Alley (as well as Steve 
Canyon, Manning's Tarzan and other great newspaper strips)! I don't have the adress at 
the time, but can get it if anyone is interested!
