That's exactly what I thought too... Funny that Spiegelman should be almost 
ashamed to describe how stingy a tightwad his stereotypically-jewish father 
was (in his masterpiece _Maus_, in which he somewhat tried to distance 
himself from his father's attitude while describing all that he went 
through in the nazi camps), and then end up writing an article like that 
himself, focussing much more on the money rather than on Barks's genius. I 
mean, are you or are you not a money person? I thought it was in poor taste.
