Barks' 40s Editor

[Rob Klein]

Thanks Timo, for the name of Barks' early-to-mid 1940s editor.  It was, indeed, 
eleanor Packer. You are probably correct, that they needed the story ending 
change quickly (otherwise they would have had the original story artist make 
the changes).  That is probably also why they didn't worry about making the 
replacement lettering the same size and style as that of the original story.  
The new lettering was smaller, and more "squared". I assume that was the same 
situation with "The Ghost of the Grotto", "The Horseradish story", and several 
other situations in which the lettering is visibly different.
