This exactly represents my view and enjoyment in reading comics.
It's plagiarism of how I would have stated it, but I won't mind. :-)

Let's all take a look at this picture for a great Barks illustration 
of discussions about universes, like the ones we're having lately:

It's my all-time favourite Barks watercolor!

Well, at least your comments are very consistent. :-)
(Hey! Is someone making notes of them for future reference?)

P.S. Here's where I was, at the point of sending this email... 
and I almost made the worst DCML-blooper of all time! I uploaded 
the Barks watercolor scan, which I had renamed, and I placed the 
link in this email. But I had copied a *wrong* watercolor file, 
which I didn't notice. And, for your interest, some non-Disney 
Barks watercolors contain frontal nude duck women... 

Luckily, I checked the scan *before* sending this email. :-)

For the curious people who are really, *really* interested, older 
than 30 years, and not easily shocked by any view, it was er... 
this particular watercolor, but then shown as big as the one I've 
just used: http://www.seriesam.com/barks/ndw7908.jpg

Phew! What an ego-crashing illustration of universes *that* would 
have been for my preachy comments... Oh me! Oh my! (The shame!)

And so, also for your interest, *whoever* raises the boring subject 
of mammal ducks *now*, definitely will become *my* target for ripe 
eggs. As sure as eggs is eggs!

No... Wait-a-minute! I get a quite different view on trying to imagine 
why some people here find mammal ducks so much more attractive, and
even an hot topic as well!

Well, why should I bother then? Go have fun with them, if you wish to. 
I'll leave you alone from now on. :-D

What a world! Even though I for once noticed an error on time, which 
both saved my day and the rest of my life, I think I'm just going to 
have a serious nervous breakdown anyway... Just to be sure.

Universes? Who? What? Where? When? Why? - And HOW?
Qveep! Glip! Flup! Click! Chirp! Cheep!
