Course we wouldn't.

There's a 60 sec limit... Don't Sander and Dukka trust us?
Sure. Story with presumed toyplane Donald buys. Ends up in Vulcano-city. That the one?
Egg wrote:Maybe we can have a live interview with Rockerduck. How did he become a Barks-fan? Which story was the first one?
I remember 'The Great Pop-Up'as one of the first Barks stories. And 'The Doom Diamond'. What does Rockerduck think of those stories? Over.

Rockerduck wrote:I can't recall when I actually became a Barks-fan. I always liked the Dutch comicbook series that printed his stories, from as far back as I can possibly remember. Only later, I found out the deeper meanings of the Barks-stories, the hidden layers, the more adult themes and the beauty of his way of storytelling.
Rockerduck wrote:I'm not sure which story you mean by 'The Great Pop-Up', since I'm not familiar with all English titles. I know 'The Doom Diamond' though and I don't like the story. I think it's pretty weak and also the drawings aren't among the best work Barks created.
Rockerduck wrote:My first Barks-story as I recall it, is the ten-pager in which Donald and the boys stay home on a stormy night: Donald watching a gangster movie, the nephews doing a Woodchuch-test with their model trains. Then a newsflash on tv announces that two trains are about to crash into each other and nobody's able to contact them. Then the nephews with their model trains figure out a way to prevent the tragedy.

I know it's discussed on Dutch section. Just trying to think of subjects which also others can dive into, to make the topic richer.
Rockerduck wrote:I think, as a kid, you don't notice the sarcasm and cynism that's in a lot of Barks' stories. For example, when I was a kid, I read the ten-pager with the 'money-stairs' to the top of the mountain at the end ( turned out it was only a dream Donald had). As a kid, I didn't see that, in the beginning, Scrooge was only popular with the people on the street because of his money he brought with him. The cynism of people being grumpy at Donald when he says 'hi' to them and then being all friendly when somebody with money comes along, I noticed only much later, when I was older.

I know it. I think the drawings look real nice, but to be honest, I've never been a fan of the Gyro-stories.

That's exactly what I like so much about the story. At first sight, it seems a bit dull, with the Ducks only being inside the house all the time, with this disaster that the Ducks aren't directly involved in, and all the Ducks do is talk, talk, talk... But still, Barks created an exciting story with these elements, and that's brilliant I think.
