Rosa Quiz from first-timer (answer)

[Olivier]

Hi everyone!

Mark:

>>> My name is Mark and I am from Australia. It is with
>>> some embarassment to say that I have been lurking on
>>> this list for nearly three years.

Welcome in the DCML's spotlight!


>>> Now, has anyone noticed this? In one Rosa story he
>>> pays homage to Orson Welles' classic "Citizen Cane".
>>> The dialogue from three panels is practically word for
>>> word straight from the movie - except the reference to
>>> Charles Foster Cane is changed to Cornelius Coot (that
>>> should be a clue). Even the illustrations, one with
>>> detailed shading effects, are derived from the movie.

Oh noooo. You've reminded me of  yet another thing I lost when my hard disk
crashed last month. I had made a page with Citizen Kane references in Don
Rosa, with scans from two stories and captures from the corresponding
scenes. I have just browsed through my site(s) and can't find them (in case
I had already uploaded the pages, perhaps to show somebody). I had forgotten
about this page. :( :( :( :( :(
I guess you're thinking of  panels 1-3 p 5 of  "His Majesty, McDuck" (U$A
14, August 1989; Don Rosa Album 4), where the ducks read "the chapters in Mr
Coot's manuscript regarding Fort Duckburg" at the Coot Memorial Library.
panel 3 duplicates a shot from the movie.


Best wishes to all,


Olivier--
looking forward to more Barks/Rosa quizes
