Well, the 100th anniversary of Carl Barks' birth has come and gone, and I 
was really hoping there would be some exciting and important announcements 
to make on the Disney comics front at this time (and on a couple of other 
related fronts in the bargain), butŠsighŠsuch is plainly not to be.

There were things brewing, and considerable motivation on the part of 
certain parties to make them happen, but, once again, nothing could be 
worked out. And though my position on the Disney comics negotiations 
grapevine has kept me somewhat apprised of key events (which is a fancy way 
of saying no one *officially* tells me anything), I'm as baffled by the 
endless delays as most of you must be. All I know for certain is that Steve 
Geppi has been wrangling this stubborn dogie for nigh over two years now, 
and his determination shows no sign of flagging. In a way, I feel I can do 
no less, though of course I'm free of the joys of dealing with all the 
legalities.

As for CarlŠwell, I imagine he's in a very good position now to know who 
means to do right by his memory and his legacy. And by their works will *we* 
know them.
