Gilles:
>>the Duck universe before the Mouse universe, and the Mouse universe
>>before the forest's universe.

Why? Why not Duck & Mouse in parallel?
Is it because you prefer the ducks? If  so, why not simply the ducks?
Mickey's strips were the first ones (1930), and Barks acknowledged
Gottfredson's influence. So I think they should be considered the same
way, on the same level. Then all the other authors, who buold on these
foundations-- Don Rosa in pole position because of  the logical continuity
& universe he strives to preserve.

>>drafts & original versions
Why last-- after video games?! If  you rank the comics above the cartoon shorts
& the the games, why rank drafts & original versions below?
The original versions are not on the same level as the comics, they *are* the comics.
Drafts: should come next. But if  it's been written out of  the final version, why include
the fact? (Besides scholar purposes-- studying the story's composition, ie, its evolution)

>>I consider the hidden Mickeys as real things, even if DonRosa says it is a joke
I don't understand "real things". Do you mean, for instance, that a hidden-Mickey cactus
really *is* Mickey-shaped, not that it *looks like* Mickey from a certain angle?
Don't know. I think I prefer the second solution.

To anyone who has Don Rosa's "Return of  the Three Caballeros"
(Mr Don Rosa, if  you have time to check):
What does Panchito reply, p 11 panel 5?
