Carl Barks' biggest admirer met his idol

Carl Barks' victory over his former managers has the fortunate side effect, that he can at last talk with his biggest admirer Don Rosa who with the story "Here is your life, Uncle $crooge" (Lo$), tryes to carry on the torch from Barks. Barks' managers didn't like Don Rosa and that infected Barks' attitude. Ekstra Bladet (the tabloid, it means something like Extra Paper) talked with Don rosa last year and asked him, how he felt the fact that his big idol didn't like his work. - Carl Barks is the person I would most like to be praised of. I don't wish to think about it, becuase then I will completely loose courage, he said sadly. Barks' managers kept him away from Don Rosa, but that's changed now:
- To clean the air from the disorder of the last 5 years, Barks invited me to come and visit him. I took a lovely, lovely travel,  and at long last, I finally met Barks and spend a day with him in his home in Oregon, tells a distinct euforic Don Rosa to Comics Journal
