Okay, i was too fast there - and I remember the incredible schrinking man
too... - 

Anyway, when in the opinion of you people here, is a plot to close to
another. 

Take for instance some stories (drawn!) by Vicar - they rephrase
Barks-stories. 

Rosa has done a few too - but are they to likely to the Barks-stories
where they have the plot? 
Some readers think so. - others like it when Rosa takes up an old thread. 

When I first read certain Murry-stories, i thought: what is he trying to
do here - copy Gottfredson?
The case is, he was payed to do so, because the Gottfredson-stories didn't
fit the format. - It was 
easier to have them redrawn. 

Redrawn stories is an issue too. - It's done for different reasons, but
what do you think of 
redrawings by Murry, Jippes and Rosa?
