I'm A Bit Gravitationally Challenged At The Moment!

Did you tune in to catch the third installment of Lost In (an alternate section of) The Andes this morning?

Nope, not happening.
(It'll be here this afternoon.)

 

I've been running on the assumption that everyone knows who Don Rosa is because... of course they do! Let us pause for the benefit of those who are not "everyone" and peek at a bit of the work that made him famous. Don was (and is) a huge fan of 'the good duck artist' and has carried on the works of Carl Barks. (A part of why i said he's likely genuinely proud of other works in yesterday's post)

Rather than try to describe the work Don has done with Bark's Uncle Scrooge, (among others) here's one of my favorites so you can see for yourself. Don finds a simple, but brilliant, idea from which to bring a novel adventure with fresh visuals and humor naturally inherent in the very concept. From 1997, A Matter Of Some Gravity -

Yep. Donald drove in that position before Deadpool.

That's a glimpse for those who are lucky enough to have all those old stories to discover for the first time. You go work on that and we'll be back this afternoon to conclude the Pertwillaby Papers dailies.
