This is an on-topic DCML subject. At least it looks that way in the 
message you posted at http://www.dcml-talk.org on 08-18-03 15:29.

Why do so many other great movies (and comics and books) have lost 
their fanbase over time? And to take it a step further: How can we 
find out if something is currently in the process of losing its 
fanbase?

Could it be, for example, that Carl Barks is currently losing his 
fanbase? Sales figures of Disney comics are dwindling (at least in 
Germany). So what will happen in the next 30 years? Will there still 
be enough people interested in Barks' Duck stories so keeping them 
in print is commercially successful?

BTW. I love those little smileys you're using there. They're very 
funny and well-drawn!
