[edit] First Disney story
How do you define "First Disney story"? Before Pirate's Gold he drew that Pluto Story; the first story he wrote for comics was the 2nd ten pager.
The first piece of comic Barks contributed to is (according to the best of our knowledge) a DD daily strip gag from 1938 for which he sold a gag idea. The second one is "Pluto Saves the ship" which he co-wrote with Jack Hannah and Nick George (1942). The third one is "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold" for which he drew half of the art with Jack Hannah (1942). The fourth one is "The victory garden", a Donald Duck 10-pager which he drew entirely (he also heavily rewrote the script that was submitted to him) in 1943. The fifth one is "The Lucky Rabbit Foot", a DD ten-pager which is the first he entirely wrote and drew. There are probably a few more Daily strip gag ideas that Barks sold in the late 30s-beginning of the 40s, but we will probably never know which one. The specialists suggest that the strip of 7/30, 1940 is one of them. Please see the Inducks database for the full accurate information. Herve661
Can someone explain how Barks contributed to The Plastics Inventor in 1944, if he left the Studio in 1942? RickK 07:55 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
He left the Studio at 1943 while he had worked on the production of several shorts that weren't released yet. But the Plastics Inventor is not usualy mentioned as one of them. Perhaps he contributed to the plot? User: Dimadick
Mentioning the ancestry of the person who serves as the subject of an article is rather standar use in the Wikipedia. See for example the articles on Dickens, Disney and Emperor Norton I. It doesn't serve as a geneology but just mentions their family background for those interested. It doesn't mean that each of the mentioned persons gets his own article. Any other ideas of what to add to the article? User: Dimadick
- I disagree with the Disney info, but at least his family has their own articles. The Dickens info is excessive, and the Norton info especially so. I will delete the birth and death dates and the bolding. If you want to create separate articles about the ancestors, then please give us info in this article, otherwise, what do they add? RickK 08:37 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I am going to mention their names and some of their decisions a the following paragraph and till the end of his school days so they might as well be listed at the beginning of his biography. Birth and death dates just contribute to an understanding of what generation they belong to. Wikipedia has several articles on American Generations. For example Carl himself is listed among the G.I. Generation. See those articles it. User: Dimadick
[edit] The successor
Would it be of any relevance to mention that Don Rosa is widely regarded as Barks' spiritual successor? In fact, Rosa idolizes Barks' style to the point that his confessed goal is to make their styles indistinguishable - and he usually succeeds. - 200.195.88.155
- Could be, but Barks has had many successors. My own favourite is probably Daan Jippes. He maintains the same energy and movement in his comics as in the older Barks' stories. Personally, I think Rosa's style is quite stiff and lacking in emotion.
I met Rosa twice, and as he said, his style is very different from Barks, although he tried to follow Barks. There is a huge difference between the two, especially on personalities. And there are also many different successors, I agree that Jippes (with Fred Milton) is one of the closest. Herve661 19:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Info from Only A Poor Old Man
Hopefully there are some editors who watch this page. I don't know where to put this info. It should be merged into this article per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Only A Poor Old Man. Thanks. --Fang Aili 說嗎? 04:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barks and Andersen
It was Will Eisner who called Barks the HC Andersen of comics - I read that in a book, but I can't find it on the internet. 96T 11:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- [1] (in Norwegian, unfortunately). If you could find out what book, that's an adequate citation too. Sam Vimes | Address me 11:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
