DCML Digest, Vol 31, Issue 14

[Thomas Andrae]

Regarding H, D, and L origins:  i've written several articles about 
this and the story is in my forthcoming book on Barks.  The memo thanks 
Taliaferro for creating the nephews.  He sent a memo to the animation 
department.  it was common practice for Disney artists  to send memos 
to the story department with ideas for cartoons.  That's how Barks got 
transferred into the story department.  Hope that this helps.

Best Wishes,

Thomas Andrae
