Carl Barks (2 points)

 Carl Barks was the "Duck Man" and considered one of the few comic giants of the time. He illustrated the Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck Comics. I thought these comics were a lot of fun. I know they were meant for children because they were appropriate and easy to read. I followed along easily with the story and the illustrations are super clear in terms of their emotions. The artist didn't worry too much about detail, but there was enough information to get the point across in a simplified style. The characters are cute and the personalities are quite obvious to each of the ducks. Donald Duck has always been one of my favorite Disney characters because he is so expressive and silly. His triplet nephews were always fun to watch too! I've always liked the Uncle Scrooge stories. There is something fun about a grumpy rich old man getting fed up with funny little kids, and there's always a gag or a lesson at the end of the stories which makes for a good feeling when you're done reading! The simplified graphic style and bold coloring used to tell the story made it easy to translate to an animation and I could almost hear the voices of them all in my head as I was reading! Donald Duck's voice is too iconic to ever forget. I also noticed how some of the comics were printed almost with a screen printing device. Some of the coloring was off center from the subjects but I found this charming with authenticity. I really enjoyed these duck comics. Thanks CB!
