Endless Mike posted:The original Transformers miniseries came out before the TV show, so all the character designs were based on their toys, rather than the TV models that in at least some cases didn't match the toys at all. Ironhide, for instance, was drawn to look like this: I had that one, or something similar. I recognize the missile launcher in his chest (surprisingly we still had the missile when he went to the thrift store after high school) but I think it went on an arm.

flatluigi posted:the don rosa scrooge mcduck comics are genuinely one of the highest-esteemed and liked series out there I met him at a con and bought a couple prints of the blueprints for Scrooge's mansion and money bin which he signed for me. Also while we were talking someone walked by and pointed and sang part of the Duck Tales theme and he muttered angrily under his breath. Do not sing the Duck Tales theme to Don Rosa.

I'll kid you not but I think that was some dude purposely trolling. Don Rosa has spoken fairly often against DuckTales -- plus, how Disney mistreated him and Barks -- and the online fandom is aware of it. The man has retired years ago due to bad cataracts and now focuses on farming (if you are curious about the basket).

I was put off by that sign when I first saw it at a con like fifteen years ago, but I’ve gotten a lot more sympathetic to it over the years. Personally though, the Ducktales theme song is a work of art.

Don Rosa is very odd though, in that it seems like if Carl Barks didn't do something with the Ducks, he doesn't acknowledge it as acceptable. So it's a little less "Don Rosa hates what they did in DuckTales" and more "DuckTales wasn't done by Carl Barks or Don Rosa, and is thus unacceptable".

Beyond Barks and Rosa, he's the only duck artist I've heard of. The few samples I've seen didn't really click for me, but I'm always up for more ducks.

Don Rosa was at the last show I went to pre-covid and I'm still kicking myself that I forgot to bring some of my 80s Gladstone duck comics from childhood for him to sign.
