But still we know it's harder to do so, I at least heard that several
times, that it's harder to build a story on another because you have to
reference to it, but not repeat it. I once read a swedish article which
in my eyes critizised Don's back to Plain Awfull for being a repetition
of, not a sequel for Lost in The Andes. I for one don't agree, but
maybe others do.

Then we're lucky that Don has said that he hears from many fans, who
each like a story best. I imagine there's a fan for every story, I mean
there are fans who love one story and others who love another, and
there might be such for every Rosa, Barks, Klein or any artist.
Don and others know this and therefore make the stories that they
themselves like the best doing. I hear Don likes
best to the long historic stories, and luckily I'm one who loves those.
I'm glad this latest gag-story (can I anyway call it that?) is so good.
eg. the Anb Eye of Detail hadn't got me jumping, whereas the A matter
of Soem Gravity had both me and friends laughing at the genius plot and
design of pages.
So, being a long-story fan I look forward to that coming story from
Don.
Has that lost crown belonged to a french king btw? A fellow fan
wondered, and if I ask here, more people will hear the answer.
