Imagine that!<br /><br />Also consider that TWO great later artists specialized in different aspects of the evolving “Barks look”! Vicar did the “circa 1952”, and Daniel Branca did the sixties look. Lately, Daan Jippes is also doing a really lively hybrid of late ‘50s thru sixties, as well. <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758985019820822623.post-78644552836474569102015-07-20T11:23:51.115-07:002015-07-20T11:23:51.115-07:00Hey Joe!

Chris was one of the good ones, how could I not think about him while writing this.<br /><br />The "Donald and Daisy Umbrella" cover is the most memorable of his covers. Oddly, it is hard for me to chose a favorite art style of Carl Barks' as I like it all. <br /><br />Canada's BUGS AND TWEETY SHOW were the same ones that aired in the states. It puzzled me to view cartoons that I had seen unedited on VHS were butchered. <br /><br />Adel Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134843745865355475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758985019820822623.post-36662485452470058792015-07-20T05:10:40.425-07:002015-07-20T05:10:40.425-07:00Adel:
Thank you for the dedication to Chris Barat...Adel:<br /><br />Thank you for the dedication to Chris Barat! <br /><br />I often find myself wishing he could read a new Blog post of mine – and especially see the new IDW Disney comics. He would have loved them! <br /><br />I am forever fascinated at how different individuals <i>“find their way to this stuff”</i>. I can certainly see how that <i>“Donald and Daisy Skateboard and Umbrella”</i> cover would attract you, as it was one of my favorite WDC&S covers of the mid-sixties era from which it originated! Carl Barks had (to me, at least) a particularly pleasing art style at the time. Not his classic, 1952-era style, but something I really liked. <br /><br />Oh, and I hope Canada’s BUGS BUNNY AND TWEETY SHOW’s cartoons were less chopped-up than the ABC Network version we had in the States. Those were cut to a ridiculous extent, to where I could no longer watch them. So glad we have the DVDs today! <br /><br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
