"Barks-wannabe?"

Uh... I don't think so. Not in my eyes, anyway. I see Van Horn's style as 
much different than Barks', relying on off-the-wall comedy, and effective 
page layouts. Even Van Horn's LETTERING is a significant part of his work, 
with lots of sound effects and whatnot. I also like his many sayings that he 
gives the Duck characters, which rival such classic Barks sayings as, "ye 
cats and little kittens!"

I definitely wouldn't call Van Horn a "Barks-wannabe." But that's just me.
