Because the interviewer, the guy asking the questions, is a huge suck-up to Rosa. He's not the critical observer you have to have to make for an interesting interview. All his questions are introduced by endless compliments. And all the questions, and all the answers given by Rosa, I already knew. That information can be found on every fan-site on the Internet.
Is this the reason Rosa thinks he can say and do everything? He virtually gets no criticism, or only by one or two persons, who are then soon treated as outcasts by Rosa's fans?

Egg wrote:I think Don Rosa is misused, and that he's happy to be misused. After failing with Captain Kentucky (etc.), Rosa now finally feels adored by a world of happy "friends", like interviewers, media commentators, editors, and fans. Rosa's surrounded by people who need something from him. In that way, Rosa is buying friendship and appreciation, using internet as a platform.
[...]a surrogate-Barks.
When people like Blum or "Barks purists" get in the way, Rosa treats them as terrorists in his happy world full of friends. I think Rosa is scared to death that they get too much attention, because that would detoriate his profession as a (cough!) expert (cough!) surrogate-Barks. People might discover that Rosa's golden eggs are hollow and fake. Rosa sits on a throne and he wants it to keep that way.
[...]a (commercial) stimulation to "collect em all".
[...]Rosa is stubborn[...]Now all Rosaïsts can happily buy this Barks story again, without feeling embarrased to their hero Rosa.
There are kids wasting their lives on Rosa's weird and sick life-stories, thinking about fake events in fake years, Scrooge and Goldie going to bed with each other or not, about Scrooge dying in 1967 (long before most of them were born), about dead parents, about slime, about torturing Donald and Mickey.
[...]Rosa's stories are used to keep the money rolling in. Just try to find a person acting as cheap as Rosa. Rosa is willing to selling his soul, just to get his way in becoming an idol appreciated all over the world. Just read Rosa's writings in which he descibes his so-called popularity. It is self-promotion at best. See for yourself. For free, on internet. Or maybe you want to wait for a book on Rosa, collected from DCML-quotes by a Finnish "friend" of Rosa. Just to emphasize how easy it is to make money by using Rosa as big business.
[...]as soon as his "friends" get critical, they are a pain in the neck like anyone else. I've seen that several times. If you want to stay a happy Rosaïst, just clap along and otherwise you'll be shown the door. And a lot of Rosaïst know this, and that's why they keep silent. Otherwise they might not get their desired drawing or autograph.

Kai Saarto wrote:My work is a thesis for university, about "stardom" in Disney comics. It handles about problems that individual writist/artists like Rosa and Barks face when they use character copyrighted by others and how those copyrighted character affect to their popularity. Rosa is my prime example for being famous almost from the beginning of his career and my work is largely biographical because of that. I indeed use DCML-quotes from Rosa and other people as a source material. I'd be doing a huge professional error if NOT using such source material.

Rockerduck wrote:I wonder if you won't make the huge professional error of leaving out dcml-e-mails in which Rosa calls Barks his "evil genius" and more of that Barks-bashing. Is your work going to be complete and include also the negative Rosa-mails or just the rosy ones?
