Can someone explain how Barks contributed to The Plastics Inventor in 1944, if he left the Studio in 1942? RickK 07:55 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
He left the Studio at 1943 while he had worked on the production of several shorts that weren't released yet. But the Plastics Inventor is not usualy mentioned as one of them. Perhaps he contributed to the plot? User: Dimadick
Mentioning the ancestry of the person who serves as the subject of an article is rather standar use in the Wikipedia. See for example the articles on Dickens, Disney and Emperor Norton I. It doesn't serve as a geneology but just mentions their family background for those interested. It doesn't mean that each of the mentioned persons gets his own article. Any other ideas of what to add to the article? User: Dimadick
- I disagree with the Disney info, but at least his family has their own articles. The Dickens info is excessive, and the Norton info especially so. I will delete the birth and death dates and the bolding. If you want to create separate articles about the ancestors, then please give us info in this article, otherwise, what do they add?

I am going to mention their names and some of their decisions a the following paragraph and till the end of his school days so they might as well be listed at the beginning of his biography. Birth and death dates just contribute to an understanding of what generation they belong to. Wikipedia has several articles on American Generations. For example Carl himself is listed among the G.I. Generation. See those articles it. User: Dimadick
The successor
Would it be of any relevance to mention that Don Rosa is widely regarded as Barks' spiritual successor? In fact, Rosa idolizes Barks' style to the point that his confessed goal is to make their styles indistinguishable - and he usually succeeds. - 200.195.88.155
- Could be, but Barks has had many successors. My own favourite is probably Daan Jippes. He maintains the same energy and movement in his comics as in the older Barks' stories. Personally, I think Rosa's style is quite stiff and lacking in emotion.
