Being an awful drawer....

" I love Carl Barks/Don Rosa, but I think there should 
> be more story writers like them - who 1) write comics in the mid-50's, where  $crooge can be alive and the time prospect can be correct, 2) try to connect  the stories, in the same way as Don Rosa uses his Barks references, 3) bring  $crooge out on adventures all around the world, 4) connect the life in  Duckburg with events around in the world and 5) try to use the events of Lo$  in the stories. I was very curious, and then I made up my mind; I want to  write such stories myself (just the writing though... I am a terrible  drawer)! I made a phone call to the editor of "Donald Duck & Co", Solveig  Thime (yes, that's Egmont), and she sent me a cartoon script guide.
 Right now I'm working on my first cartoon, which is a story about (this is 
 big:) THE INVENTION OF LITTLE HELPER. I'm quite sure my next story will be a  story where $crooge, Donald and HD&L goes to Oak Island to search for the  treasure which is hidden there (I need some more research on that story, I'm  not 100% updated on the Oak Island mystery), and on that journey Donald  brings his LP record with that song on, and the song turns out to have an  effect on the ocean... right now that idea exist only in my head...
 But, of course, things take time. When I'm 18 y.o., a student, very engaged 
 in student politics AND hosting a local radio show..."

Wow, I'll remember all that, 'till the day, when someone asks me, "Who is this great storywriter, Olaf-something?"
What I really wanted to say: You're probably one of the few 18 year old students - exept from to classmates (male) and me - who are able see the magicin some ol' comics... And brave too... Maybe I should start practising those duckdravings a little more, and call for that cartoon script guide...???  ;o))) 
Hälsningar,
