I got no deductions, sorry to say. I just know that I went into the  
Gemstone project with cautious optimism and came out disillusioned,  
yet again, about the standard Disney characters getting any traction  
in today's US comics market.

My biggest personal regret is that a couple of Duck scripts I arranged  
for Gemstone from two of my favorite pro writers never wound up being  
drawn. I like to think they would've paid off, modestly at least, but  
now we'll never know.
