DCML digest #1204

[Don Rosa]

From: <sigvald at duckburg.dk>
>>>>However both these stories are only drawn by
Barks/Rosa. Barks' story was written by Bob
Gregory while Rosa's story was written by Ruud
Straatman. This leaves me with a very difficult
question: shold I, or should I *not*, include
Clara Cluck in my "Who's who in Duckburg"
pages in where I intend to present the characters
in the Barks/Rosa universe only?

Do you want my opinion? Since I did not write the story, I don't
necessarilly agree with anything it expounds. Those were days when I needed
work very badly to make up for the slack resulting from Gladstone not being
able to keep me busy. So I tried asking Oberon for scripts, but after three
or four I decided I didn't like that method of work -- one reason being that
I was naturally not given the better scripts, and also that I was obliged to
include characters that, in my view of Duckburg, I regarded as
"non-existant".
As far as I'm concerned, you should not include Clara Cluck in your "Who's
Who"... anymore than you should include some silly character like Dumbo the
flying, talking, eternally-infant elephant just because Barks illustrated a
script that included him. But it's your "Who's Who" for you to decide what
to do. Doo-dah.

>>>>One of my personal intentions for this new year
is to avid actions that could harm the atmosphere
here on DCML!

You intend more avid actions?!?! Oh, no, no, PLEASE, no! Anything but
that!!! That's what causes the whole .... Huh?
You meant "avOid actions"....?
Oh. That's very different.
Never mind....
