"What a Life!" Carl Barks' Donald Duck as Nervous Modern

That's the title of an essay I wrote that appears in the Spring '10 issue of the International Journal of Comic Art. Check it out.

EDIT, 09/2217: Okay, I'm uploading the article to this blog for historical purposes, as the IJOCA doesn't make their articles available online.  It can be read here.  It's probably fairly basic for most readers of this blog, and there are a few things I would change with the benefit of added knowledge and experience, but it's still a reasonably overview, I think.
