I don't recall a recent Dutch article about Strobl. Or maybe it was one in
the series of non-Dutch Disney comic creators, written by Pieter van Cleef.
Those articles didn't contain much new information for people who are on
DCML.

The most important article about Strobl that I recall, was made by Klaus
Strzyz for Germany, and translated into English in "The Duckburg Times" (or
was it "The Barks Collector"?).

Interesting to read that Strobl's decay in drawing quality is partly to
blame on the material he had to use. But I also think he changed his art
style, in order to make more comic pages, and faster. Starting in 1963 he
made a lot of Disney comic stories for the "foreign market".
