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.

Teenage Fansub posted:You can tell the casting director of Ducktails '17 listens to Comedy Bang Bang. Nah he's too busy being Gladstone Gander, which is pitch perfect casting for him. Lurdiak posted: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! You're right. I mixed the two up.
