But there IS, and that is the interesting point, another story with the same premise (Rockerduck and Scrooge have a challenge about going around the world without spending more than 80 dollars), that is far more famous as the second appearance of "redesigned Rockerduck" (the one with the black whiskers instead of the white/brown/yellow hair Barks had given him). And it's drawn by Romano Scarpa, and it's 8 times shorter than this. I wonder if this one was a kind of remake or if it's just chance, but anyway, you should try to read the Scarpa version.

What I DO remember is the My Little Pony movie I saw, which I found quite terrifying--can it REALLY have centered around the characters being menaced by an ocean of evil slime? Because that's what I REMEMBER about it.<br /><br />Re 80 Bucks, yeah, you're probably right, but gosh. I don't want to come across as some sort of crazy solipsist (too late, probably), but I feel like a number of people who aren't me are just CRAZY here. The AVclub's Comics Panel--more rigorous critics than Some Dude on Amazon, one would think--gave it a B+.

Not too many people spend a good amount of time actually thinking (let alone analyzing) comics, cartoons, or live-action aimed towards young people. If it looks cute and is 'whimsical', that's all that matters.<br /><br />Kudos to you for applying a level of criticism to this. I'm trying to do that over at my blog but for every interesting point I bring up in, let's say, Care Bears, I get a 'OMG I WATCHED THAT AS A CHILD!' Which pretty much misses the point.Kevin Johnsonhttp://www.totalmediabridge.comnoreply@blogger.com
