Thanks for this bit of information, Niels - maybe you could grap a couple
of 
extra copies one day if you pass a place with a stack of the paper?

I would say: it gives *you* an impression - You nor i have read the
article. 
A journalist maybe writing about a subject who isn't in his own field of
interest, 
might chose those writers, and add two danish ones that are known here. 
The ones chosen are the ones known. Yes, don Rosa is known too, but he's
new. 
He wouldn't be mentioned in connection with an article introducing to news
paper
strips from 1957 - thinking about it, who made the manuscripts after that
year?
should he be mentioned? Was it Osborne? 
I'm glad they actually printed an article about the ducks in connection
with this. 

Niels, could you scan the article - or maybe bring it for the xmasmeeting
in DDF(R) - 
if you're coming. (All members of the club here - welcome)
