Come on Don, you know why they are popular!
It is a combination of a superior story with "recognizable" , likeable art.
In the years I bought Uncle Scrooge off the newstands, I had no clue who 
wrote or drew the stories.  I only knew I liked the combination of story and 
art..
I also bought Tarzan and other comics with a good "combination" of story 
and "recognizable" art that I liked.  They certainly were not done by the 
same artist, or story teller.
There was a definite difference when Barks quit doing Scrooge and the art and 
stories were both terrible.
You have long critcized your own art, but  I have always really liked it.
Your eye for detail is excellent. Expressions on characters is obvious 
without word balloons.  Not what I would consider an easy accomplishment with 
"Ducks"!
 The proportions between ducks remains constant, and the continuity between 
stories is always there.
I have always compared it to a continuation of a well written TV show or 
movie.
You liked the first episode and can't wait for next week's episode.
Characters remain constant ( your art) and the writing is alsways great.
You, as a movie Buff, can understand that!
Keep the sequels coming!
