Sid went on about how Barks' charms were lost on him, and that Kremer was twice the artist that Barks was. I don't think I misunderstood him (for pure draftsmanship, Sid's comparison might arguably be correct), but as an intimidated young person hoping for a job, I glossed over the "apples and oranges" argument forming in my head at the time.sdestefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329638332748593829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-23594487181638191412011-05-23T07:57:32.286-04:002011-05-23T07:57:32.286-04:00Jeff: I completely agree.

I agree with Jacque; lots of wonderful little details. Especially Casper's feet protruding through the Mailbox on the cover. And- is that a rolled up Magazine I see ?<br /><br />I did pick up on one continuity error, however (not to be a Muggle !). In the flashback sequence, the Castle is wished for BEFORE the Pond etc. ! Keep this stuff coming, Mykal. My old Mortal coil needs to be reminded by Casper's good-hearted, altruistic deeds. They are so refreshing in this jaded age we live in !Runs.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-81646948328673907692011-05-22T19:27:41.700-04:002011-05-22T19:27:41.700-04:00What really grabs is all the attention to detail (...What really grabs is all the attention to detail (especially in that first story) -- the rocks, the trees, the wood grain of the floor boards.
