No, I don't think I have to correct you. Recently, it's just dawning on me 
that I have been self-censoring myself too much when it comes to simply 
expressing what I dislike. As if I only should limit myself to the things 
I enjoy about Disney comics. Amongst other things, I'm very critical to 
certain developments in the Disney universe, and I've decided to just let 
that be heard, too.

Knowing that 'A Letter From Home' is yet another Barks revisit is already 
enough for me. I'm fed up with those stories. I simply can't stand them any 
longer. That's why I don't look forward to such stories. That's a judgement, 
no prejudgement.

Well, and *I'm* biased because of my love for Barks and everything involved 
with him. :-)

And in general, I hate sequels. It's like chewing the cud to me. I look at 
it as running around in the same old circle. I'd rather see new situations, 
instead of variations of old subjects.
