fandrawings and "What I'd like to See"

Marco, re: his "Mathematician Donald" fandrawing:

Ah, great minds think alike!  ;-D  (Even though I was the only
person in my entire high school who even knew who Don Rosa and
Cark Barks ARE :-p I still loved having that on my notebook!

I also smile every time I read Rosa's "Last Lords of El Dorado,"
when HD&L are doing complicated calculations about how to save
Donald from hanging on the broken rope bridge.  When I first
read that story I was taking a physics class wherein we
calculated gravity and other related concepts, and although I
generally suck at math I was able to tell that these were
genuine calculations the boys were making, not just random
numbers scribbled down to "look like math" for the sake of the
story.  Of course, coming from an author with an engineering
degree, this didn't surprise me TOO much.  ;)

I have a running joke with an online friend who helps me edit
and proofread my stories.  "Children are not props!"  It's an
easy mistake to forget that children are in a scene to do
something other than just stand there and look cute.  LOL!  So I
always watch out for that in my writing.  If children are in the
scene, they're going to react to things and have influence on
the action just like another other person would.  I've always
admired the treatment of Huey, Dewey and Louie in the comics
because most of the time they *aren't* treated like "props."  In
the Barks adventures the three nephews are just as much a part
of the expedition as the adult ducks. :)

>From what I've seen on the Internet recently, I like Marco
Rota's style.  I'd like to see more from him.  Scarpa, too,
especially Brigitta and/or Paparetta Ye-Ye stories.  I'm always
interested in female characters.

Me too me too me too!  *waves frantically* 

;-D

No, I'd be interested in that, too!

Hey, I found four pennies on the floor at the mall the other
day, and thought about how happy Scrooge would be for me.  But
I'll share!  Maybe...  ;)

I know nothing about Douglas, and as far as I know the "Secrets"
story in the last Gladstone issue is the only story with
Scrooge's half-brother that I've read.  I'd be interested to
know more about the character, since my gut-reaction as a
Barks/Rosa fan is to ignore his existance, but yet I find myself
interested in spite of myself. (Sort of like how I try my
darndest not to like Brigitta stories because she's competition
for Goldie, yet enjoy them anyway.)  ;)
