I was honestly surprised that he was in fact, the end-all boss at the end of the day. I kept thinking, oh, there's always somebody else behind the whole thing as a last-second swerve, but nope, Brainiac from beginning to end. Kind of let down.

I always thought Rosa somehow looked like an even more assholish version of Larry David (or more appropriately a human Scrooge McDuck) so finding out he's one of those "Uh, actually guys DuckTales is just a rip-off of blah blah blah blah" guys just makes a lot of sense. I mean how can you even make any kind of overprotective claim on Scrooge McDuck when your name isn't Carl Barks?

Presumably those aren't Don Rosa comics. It says right on the sign that they were created nearly 50 years before Ducktales and a quick check says he was born in 1951. If anything I think he's just being overprotective of Carl Barks.

People thinking he is going fan art from Ducktales.

This is interesting http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/138455-busted-bcc-replaces-harvey-awards-with-ringo-awards-after-outhouse-expose.html quote:Last year, The Outhouse ran a hard-hitting exposé on how Valiant Comics mysteriously garnered 35% of the nominations for the Harvey Awards, which have run annually at Baltimore Comic Con. We noted how the eight members of The Valiant Fan Forums brigaded the /r/comicbooks' "Best of Comics 2015" polls, forcing mod Christian Hoffer to vacate two of the awards. While Harvey ballots are restricted to people working in the industry, that appears to work on an honor system, as anyone can submit a ballot through the website. We're not saying the Valiant Fan Forums rigged the Harveys, but does the pope poo poo in the woods? Absolutely anything that helps people remember Mike Weringo is excellent in my opinion.

If someone made a well-loved tv show out of my comic and gave it the catchiest theme song this side of Ghostbusters, I would be a bit more gracious.

Yeah, Rosa just needs to accept manually educating fans on the comics/animation/royalties divide, lest his sign be declared an instrument of rage every time it's photographed. I can't blame him for getting tired of it, though.

I know that Rosa has said (either in the back matter for one of the Fantagraphics collections or in separate interviews) that he does appreciate DuckTales but resents how it overshadows the Carl Barks comics (and his own, I suppose). I know he's said he thinks it's one of the best children's cartoons of the 1980s and that it's leaps and bounds ahead of a lot of the contemporaeous toy tie-in stuff like Transformers and He-Man, but in his mind it is to the Duck comics what Super Friends was to the Justice League comics. Comes from going to conventions in the late 80s and early 90s and having people asking him if he was drawing the DuckTales tie-in comic or something.

I read a DuckTales comic before, and they totally ripped off the boulder chase from Indiana Jones. Then Rosa murders me.

I saw Rosa at Dragoncon last year and someone came up to him asking about Flintheart Glomgold being Irish. Rosa was quick to correct him that in the comics Glomgold was from South Africa and that the change of nationality was just for Duck Tales. I can understand how tiring it could be to care a lot about a specific story and to have to spend all your time explaining to people how it is different than what they're used to. His annotations for his Fantagraphics collections are fantastic. He spent a lot of his time and life dedicated to preserving the stories that Barks told and building on his legacy so he's got a lot personally invested in those ducks. One of his big qualms with Ducktales was the addition of Launchpad McQuack (who he thought was okay) and he absolutely hates Bubba the Cave Duck. Tomorrow if I've got time I'll dig up the collection and see if I could find his exact words on it.

Hey South Africa represent. I guess the changes might have come about because he didn't want to share a nationality with loving Maggot. There really needs to be a superhero based on Jonty Rhodes

Pretty sure Glomgold is Scottish in the cartoon, not Irish, since he dresses, talks and acts like a racist stereotype of Scottish people. He's wearing a goddamn kilt!

The actual reason why Glomgold was made Scottish instead of South African was because Ducktales came out in the '80s and they did not want that apartheid stink on a Disney character.
