Which reminds me: this week, issue #105 of the Dutch series "De Beste
Verhalen" was published. (It's the Dutch "Carl Barks Library in Color", if
you want. Issue #1 was released in 1975. Until the American CBL appeared, it
was the best Barks collection in the world...)
On the inside front, there is a short notice about the fact that Barks died.
They printed a drawing that Daan Jippes made a few years ago (1994 I think),
showing Barks leaving the room, while his footprints are in the shape of
duck feet. The accompanying text is: "Carl Barks 1901 - 2000. But he will
leave his marks for a long time" (*).
Quite an appropriate drawing, even if Jippes didn't draw it for this
occasion.
