Of course, I can't say how much of the improved scripting here is hers and how much is the work of the American dialoguer. <br /><br />Great comparison here of the two versions. Here is one case where the remake really is considerably better than the original, in art and in script.

The first five pages were gone, and the plan from the beginning was to give people free trees as a PR stunt. Donald was paid per hour as usual, but he was pretty much forced to work (...as usual).<br /><br />The result was, like this one, a very whelming story, with the main draw today being the nostalgic Vicar art. To fit the "more historical than story value" theme, an issue few weeks ago had the Magenta Stamp rewritten as a Mickey story, with Murry art ( https://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+MM+++74-01 ). Oh boy. Removing the Golden Man and the Gladstone parts and changing Donald to Murry-era Mickey made it super bland. There was even a villain who followed Mickey but was foiled by bad luck without ever even meeting Mickey.<br /><br />How many of these rewrites happened at the time? I can see the point of rewriting a bad old story to be a better one if you think you really need pages, no matter from where, but the other way around...<br />Lugijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489934906877791266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-71582988309287098772018-12-18T10:44:58.207-05:002018-12-18T10:44:58.207-05:00"We where going to get HD&L the usual Meh..."We where going to get HD&L the usual Meh gifts but since we realise their uncle is even worse, let's buy them presents that will actualy make them happy...

I recall that you once wondered how a Daan Jippes remake of the worst Lockman/Wright stories might look like, but only as a strange thought experiment; yet this is discombobulatingly close to that.Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-28880642333404785482018-12-18T05:42:46.896-05:002018-12-18T05:42:46.896-05:00You know, I didn't actually predict the truth ...You know, I didn't actually predict the truth behind the bottlecaps.
