Congratulations, Olaf. I have read your story and here is my immediate 
reaction.

NOTE: This review does not contain spoilers, and can safely be read by list 
members who have not yet enjoyed Olaf's story

- Pages 1 and 2: I like the way you introduce the basic idea. Now we know 
what the story will be about. Very clever.

- Page 3 moves too slowly. You really only need the last panel.

- Page 5: Donald doesn't know ms Quackfaster's name. Nice touch. I laughed.

- Page 6 and 7: Great escape sequence. Flows really well. Nuñez is one of 
the best new duck artists. You were lucky to get him.

- Page 8: Loved the Prozac joke in panel 2. And the reference to the Animal 
Think Boxes.

- Page 9: Wouldn't the Beagle Boys have planned in advance how to get the 
money out? But then again: maybe not. They're not the brightest crooks in 
the world.

- Page 11: Gyro's idea in panel 4: Very often, you can tell which way a 
Duck story is going, but i REALLY didn't see that one coming.

- Pages 12 and 13: Brilliant. Just brilliant. Why wasn't this the lead story?

- Last page: The ending made me slightly uneasy. Wish you had thought of 
something else.

Conclusion: I have only one major objection: The story contains too much 
violence. Having people getting clubbed in the head as a running joke is 
more Asterix than Disney. But apart from that: Nice spin on an old Barks 
idea. Very well plotted and paced. The way our heroes outsmart the crooks 
in the end was both surprising, inevitable and hysterically funny. What 
more can one ask? Write more, please!

Rating: 7,5/10.
