One of my heroes, Hugo Keno Don Rosa, is visiting Norway these days.
He'll get to meet the mayor of oslo (our capital), of course. Don't
know who he is? He is the best living Donald Duck-artist in the
world - he's upholding the heritage of Carl Braks, and on the whole
is a much better artist than Van Horn or Vicar.
Donald Duck is much more popular in Norway (and Europe) than Mickey
Mouse has ever been (or will be). I think part of the reason is that
the Mickey Mouse of today is too much of a goody two shoes - he is
just so insufferably righteous and boring (but he wasn't always - I
remember when he went to Blaggard Castle)! Donald Duck, OTOH, makes
mistakes, flies off the handle, is unlucky, and on general is far
more easier to identify with (and much more fun).
Best regards

P.S. Ever noticed the strange phenomenon that when Donald Duck
wears clothes, he does not wear trousers (or any equivalent article
of clothing), but if he is seen exiting a shower, he always has a
towel around his waist?
Can you get an autograph of him on a DD cartoon?
