No new Disney comics in English for over 3 years now. So I've been
re-reading my Gladstone collection, and finished all the long Barks
stories. Now I've started the Don Rosa stories, beginning with
"Son of the Sun". When I read "Fit to be Pied", I saw some
items from Barks' stories I hadn't noticed before, so I tried to access
DuckHunt's "Barks' References" page to see if they were already
posted there. A few years ago I helped Osgar Jensen with a few
references---that website was lots of fun. But Osgar Jensen is
now busy with other things, and his webpage isn't responding
anymore. Has it died forever? I'm sure he put a lot of work into it.
When I didn't get any response, I searched around and found DCML,
and joined this mailing list.
The Barks' references I noticed in "Fit to be Pied" are:
1. Page 5, panel 3: Donald examines a costume that looks just like
Smorgie the Bad, the ogre conjured up by Witch Hazel in Barks' 1952
"Trick or Treat" Holloween story.
2. Page 5, panels 4 through page 7, panel 1, Donald uses a
disguise (huge coat, hat and beard) previously worn by Scrooge in
Barks' November, 1957 story, "Sagmore Springs Hotel".
Does anyone know if these references were already posted?
