Schroder already did redraw the "King Scrooge" story, but later it was 
said that he destroyed his work. As I remember, someone here said that 
he *might* have only told that because he was not satified with his 
editor's policy or something. 

A little example of Schroders work on "King Scrooge" was published in 
the CBL, it looks *very* good.

As I already asked before in a previous posting: Maybe there's a chance 
that art still exists? Is there someone here who can find out?

The material was sent to Gladstone, but later returned to Schroder for 
minor changes. Didn't they make xeroxes of the art before posting it?


DAVID:

Maybe you're the right person here to find out if Schroder's work did 
survive somewhere? Don't the editors xerox the art before returning it 
for minor changes? (The art might get lost during it's post-traveling.)

Maybe you can also send something of it to Disney-Comics? I can't 
visit your page (although I'd really like to.)

No, I don't think so. It might be that spanking children is a subject 
to discuss for people now, while it was taken for granted in the past? 
There has also been a kind of "slogan" for it, something like: "The 
one who loves his children, chastices them." 

Maybe Disney placed this subject on their growing censor-list because 
spanking children isn't taken for granted anymore? Anyway, it's 
certainly not new that they don't accept it anymore: In the 50's Barks 
was already told to tone down the violence in his stories.
