SV: Sigvald and (his new windmill) Blum

[Daniel van Eijmeren]

SIGVALD GROSFJELD to me, 11-08-2003:

>> "If (Rosa) wants to do (old-fashioned) stories set in the (1950s)

>>
>> See? Doesn't sound very nice and reasonable, does it?

> No, it doesn't look reasonable, because it isn't reasonable.

Then don't say such things about other people, like Geoffrey Blum.

> Fact is that Don Rosa's stories are marketed as just that: stories

And you think that Blum is to blame for the marketing of DD&Co?

Anyway, if people who call Barks's name are attention-seekers, then 
there are a LOT of "guilty" creators. Including Don Rosa. Maybe you 
should stop making such judgements, even more if you pick just one 
person out of them?
