Rosa is often wrong when refering to Barks. Rosa even makes mistakes when refering to his own "universe".

First post!

Re: Egg's Barks fault #3 - that Barks thinks it's "okay" to kidnap a woman for a month, etc. I am a woman, and I didn't see anything dark or evil in this. It never occurred to me to see it that way. There were no small claims courts to be had in the middle of the wilderness in those days. Goldie can consider herself darn lucky that Scrooge did no more than require her to work off her debt with hard physical labour digging gold for him! (I do know that Goldie filed a complaint against Scrooge in Hearts of the Yukon [Rosa], but of course that was only to lure him out of hiding.)

In 'Dangerous disguise' ze great Donaldo el Quako, throws himself out of the window with the words 'goodbye cruel world'.
Is Barks suggesting a suicide here from the spy. Did he had more people die in his stories.

Who has enjoyed the ten-pager about the turkeys and the train robber? In this stiry Donald is railroad station master. (WDC 162)

The story is about shivering in the cold and about turkeys being treated badly. The way Donald's nephews put a box of turkeys over Harry's head (page 9), is cruelty to animals. Are these kids Junior Woodchucks in other stories?

Can Goldie consider herself darn lucky when being kidnapped by a gold-seeker? Goldie has to work in the dirt and the cold for a month, and then decades later she still gets Scrooge after her because of the debt she has.
Furthermore and worst, Scrooge is taking the law into his own hands. Also in present time Scrooge ignores the law, in a half page that was cut out in the 1950s. Scrooge hasn't paid taxes and intends to steal his claim back from Goldie. As in the past, Goldie seduces Scrooge. This time not to get richer, but to keep the few little possesions she still has.
