    (Comic)Book Byte: Quack Quack Quack, 4:4 (Guest Post)

    October 22, 2010 /

    While on hiatus, I have guests doing a few posts for me. Enjoy, and see you when I get back! ~CAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Executive mandate from the Disney corporate offices came down that a comic book work would be made detailing Scrooge McDuck’s life and backstory. The editors at Egmont (the company who licensed the Disney comics) quickly volunteered Rosa for the job, knowing his love for the character would serve their needs well. And Rosa did what is perhaps the most obsessive, crazy, fanboyish thing I had ever seen. He read every Barks comic and took notes on every mention Scrooge made of his past, whether it was a plot point…

    While on hiatus, I have guests doing a few posts for me. Enjoy, and see you when I get back! ~CAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Barks created Donald Duck as I know him. He created an entire universe around this character, who was smarter, more goodhearted, and didn’t even look completely like the original version, a character people still write today. As his identity was not known for the first 18 years of his career as a comic book writer/artist, he was nicknamed “The Good Duck Artist” or “The Duck Man” for his high-quality drawings and inventive plots which captivated so many children, which are reprinted to this day. The 1954 tale…

    While on hiatus, I have guests doing a few posts for me. Enjoy, and see you when I get back! ~CAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Barks never directed any Disney shorts, but he wrote, penciled, shaded inked and lettered over 6,000 pages of work over the course of his 25 year career as a comic book writer/artist. The average artist today releases about 220 pages per year, penciled, and I can assure you that the majority of them are not Disney trained professionals. During this time he was responsible for the creation of Scrooge McDuck, Gyro Gearloose, Gladstone Gander, Flintheart Glomgold, the Beagle Boys, Magica DeSpell, Duckburg and the Money Bin… and…

    While on hiatus, I have guests doing a few posts for me. Enjoy, and see you when I get back! ~CAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Barks is the most important man in the world to Donald Duck. Sure, he didn’t create him, that was a joint effort between Walt Disney and Dick Lundy (the character designer). And he wasn’t the voice actor, that was Clarence Nash, whose impression of a family of ducks inspired Walt to create the character. Barks didn’t even direct any shorts, though he was a capable gag-man. His biggest claim to fame in the cartoons was pitching the idea where Donald gets his butt-feathers combed and trimmed by…
