Facts, Brigitta

    I wanted to speak about a matter in a very complex universe such as
Disney's one, which is complex because of the many different cartoons,
films, comics, and other stuff, which has been created, and whose creators
didn't know about other creators' point of view. I'm going to tell you how I
do to come through with that; here is how I class my priorities:
- the Duck universe before the Mouse universe, and the Mouse universe before
the forest's universe.
- Barksian Facts, then DonRosa's facts, then Gottfredson's facts, then
Scarpa's facts, then Talliaferro's facts, then Vanhorn's facts
-old comics before today's comics, excepted for DonRosa's comics
-comics before drawings and paints
-dawings and paints before cartoons
-cartoons before films
-films before series
-DonRosa's, Barks', Scarpa's... drafts
-drafts before videogames and others...
-original versions before censored versions

>>>>about the colors :
 all that is Black in a comic is black
for the other colors, consider first the paintings' colors, then the film's,
cartoon's and series', then the others...
if, in the original script, a character say that a thing is red, but that
ythe thing is green in the comicbook, its real colour is red

I consider the hidden Mickeys as real things, even if DonRosa says it is a
joke
When, in the early Gyro Gearloose's stories and others, I see that
Mousetonians (Morty and Ferdie) are used although Barks first wanted to put
Ducks instead
but wasn't allowed to by his publisher,
, I consider them as Mousetonians, and the same thing for DonRosa: Fethry IS
Eider's son. Nobody has said how Ludwig and Donald were related, that's why
I believe DonRosa about Ludwig being Matilda's husband.
But I don't say the stories which don't agree with Barks', DonRosa's... are
apocryphal. I think cartoons and other are films shot in Duckburg with
Mousetonians and Duckburgians actors (not necessarily Donald and Mickey:
sometime it's them, sometime it isn't... I think only the films until 1942
are done with THE Donald, and all the films until 1953 are with THE Mickey
Mouse, but I'll speak again about that later...), and that comics
adaptations of cartoonsand comics which take place after 1967 or comics
which interfere with Barks'.... are comics or roman-photo (here, a french
word. I dunno how you call that in english and if you have those things in
America. Those are like comics, but with photographs. Those are photographs
with speaking bubbles...), drawn by Duckburgians artists.

I wanted to ask to DonRosa: why did you keep the name "Fanny" for gus'
mother? (not a complaint, here, I am happy you did so, it was enough
complicated like that :-) ...)
I also wanted to ask him, and to the others who only believe in Barks/Rosa
universe, if he/they believe that the letter Barks sent to Scarpa with a
picture of Scrooge and Brigitta, giving him ideas for the story "The Money
Perfume", should be considered as a Barksian Fact.

Good Week!
