Merry Christmas to all of you keeping quality stories from Duckburg alive!
Re-re-re-reading A Christmas for Shacktown makes me believe even more that the genius of Carl Barks remains under-appreciated. This 32-page epic is a masterpiece of story-telling: funny in slapsticky, ironic, and satiric fashion, mysterious, emotionally compelling, and subtly focused on its serious theme, with a large cast of "true-to-life" characters.
60 years later it remains a Mount Everest for aspiring authors in any genre to climb and match.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
L. Schulte
