100% agreed.
I agree, too. What's more, Rosa's telling Scrooge's WHOLE history, with a time line, makes it difficult for other creators to continue to refer to Scrooge's past with flashbacks and recounting, to pertain to a new adventure. I personally wrote and drew a few stories I submitted to Egmont in the early '90s, that had flashbacks into Scrooge's history (based on Barks' stories references), which because they conflicted with events in Rosa's then-proposed "History of Scrooge" (or whatever it is called) -were rejected (FOREVER). I don't think it is fair, or much fun for the Uncle Scrooge fan, for Rosa's ambition to "lock down" the history of McDuck, so that he can't have an endless flow of new, interesting and magical adventure stories. There should be some "magic" asnd mystery about these fictional characters.
