If possible, I prefer to cover new or less-traveled paths – with Scrooge, Bogart, or any other area of interest. <br /><br />Either way, I’m sure you’ll have SOMETHING interesting to say, if you so choose.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-38491298615454054682012-07-08T12:11:41.047-04:002012-07-08T12:11:41.047-04:00Geo,

I especially want to commend the treatment the series is receiving on its Facebook pages; panels, reviews and neat stuff uploaded almost daily. Clearly the community enjoys this, for it has more than three times the members the Carl Barks' Library page does (which is a desert right now).<br /><br />Speakin' of said Library! After Mickey's Summer is over, will ya tackle some of the marquee stories from the 2 released volumes? Lost in the Andes and Only A Poor Old Man are both emblematic Barks' gems that the blog has yet to comment on. Just curious! Bring on the mice!Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935204176414624605noreply@blogger.com
