And I couldn't agree more about that!

But Scarpa (like Barks or Gottfredson) can't be made "more entertaining" 
than he already is. This pretty much sums it up. Your (Gemstone's) work 
on his stories is very good... almost perfect. I think there's nothing 
wrong if I want to spur you into eliminating that "almost" and making it 
perfect, is there?
