Weird, I agree on everything you write, but this, I love every single word
he wrote, especially the ones after Stranger :-)

I think that the two things may be related, maybe because there's a lot of
SF in Disney comics (even considering only Barks, as someone does).

I hadn't noticed that sentence :-)

That's where I got my nickname ("Lazarus Long", I don't use here) from,
that's my favourite novel:-)
