Rockerduck has ran away. We're saved! No need to thank me for helping him find his way out. It was a pleasure.

It's so much fun to be an Evil Egg. (heh-heh-heh) 'Black Adder's Christmas Carol' changed my life. :P

That's true. I only provide fitting answers to Egg's nonsense. Remember: one image says more than 1000 words.

But Don Rosa didn't write that quote, so I don't see the problem.
Btw, why do you think depression of Scrooge is Rosaish? Both Barks' and Don Rosa's Scrooge gets depressed sometimes, i.e. when his money falls in a deep cave, in Christmas for Shacktown.

And none of that is done directly by Rosa. When John lennon got shot by his fan, it wasn't Lennons fault, right? So when Don Rosa-fans take dicisions that work out bad for Barks, it's not Don Rosa's fault.

The article mentions a "retirement between 1942 and 1947".

The article mentions "depicted as even suffering from symptoms of clinical depression" during that so-called retirement.

Barks didn't point out the exact date of scrooge retirement?

Scrooge indeed seems a bit depressed in his first story. "Me - I'm different! Everobody hates me and I hate everybody!".

That it's not exactly Don Rosa's fault, I think.
I.e., the Magic Hourglass story got changed because Don Rosa saw it as fictional fiction, but I'm sure Don Rosa wouldn't want the story to be changed. It's the editors who decided that Barks' work should suffer because of something Don Rosa said.
Nor did Don Rosa write the article on Wikipedia.
Btw, how do you mean "I see DCML being shut down in honour of Rosa."? Will DCML be shut down?

Barks didn't point out any retirement. That's completely Rosa's invention. It comes from Rosa's "timeline".

That's different from a retirement and a "clinical depression". There's a later Barks-story in which Scrooge is despressed and angry about christmas, pointing to a calendar angrily. I believe the picture's in Wim van Helden's book. Maybe you know the story?

Rosa is known to publicly protest whenever he hates something. So why don't he protest about this?

Stephan wrote:Nor did Don Rosa write the article on Wikipedia.

Of course Don Rosa isn't guilty personally or directly. I believe he's protested about hardcore fans. Of course there's colour. But how can I discuss if I have to fill in both sides by myself? You can read DCML too. Especially now the archive of 1992-1999 is available again, on McDuck.

With the dramatic wording "shut down", I meant that emails are first read by some fanclub-people, before they can appear on DCML. I have a quite innocent email on 'The Magic Hourglass' that got rejected because Rosa-people would object. Such idiot censoring and judging makes me so funny about Rosa and Co. What else can I do but laugh about it? The truth is too painful.

I wouldn't call that depressed just so much as cranky and ornery.

I agree 100%! He was the OPPOSITE of depressed. He was enjoying his second favourite pastime (other than counting, looking at, smelling, swimming in and playing in his money) reveling in his contempt for the average human (animal/human), who is lazy, selfish and has no decent values).

There are a lot of Christmas stories by Barks... Maybe one of the following, with Scrooge: FC0367 A Christmas for Shacktown, CP09 Christmas in Duckburg, DG The Christmas Cha-Cha, WDCS268 Christmas Cheers, WDCS280 Double Masquerade or U$47 The Thrifty Spendthrift?
