Howdy,
Some members have asked what Don Rosa's next story might be, and it has been
suggested that he is in retirement.
As many here know, I see Don quite frequently. I can promise he is just as
active as ever, designing covers & pin-ups and providing texts and bonus
material for various Egmont ROSA HALL OF FAME books and Gemstone special
issues. But he is just not currently working on a story.

This is true, though to be ultra-strictly accurate the price will be
$7.95.

Well, to be really closely linked would be to see the cover price
rise on a weekly and sometimes daily basis...and go down, too, though
not nearly as readily.

Many thanks to Dan Shane for informing us about Don Rosa's work these
days: I am sure everyone hopes he still has some stories percolating,
perhaps about how Uncle Scrooge survived WWI, the Depression, and WWII,
if such events hit the Duckburg Universe!
Mr. Rosa gave us the early years of Scrooge's life: how about those
middle years? The Roaring 20's, movies (silent and "all-talking"),
radio, mass production: how was Scrooge involved? Did he ever meet
Calvin Coolidge? Hoover? FDR? Einstein? Thomas Wolfe? Stravinsky?
Schoenberg? Gandhi? Clark Gable? John Wayne?
Not to mention the Unholy Three: Tojo, Hitler, and Stalin?
And how exactly did Donald end up as the guardian for those nephews?
"Inquiring minds want to know!"

WWII certainly did hit it. See, e.g., "The Victory Garden" (W WDC 31-05),
which is a reference to the gardens that people were encouraged to plant
during both world wars, to help fight food shortages.
> Did he ever meet
> Calvin Coolidge? Hoover? FDR? Einstein? Thomas Wolfe? Stravinsky?
> Schoenberg? Gandhi? Clark Gable? John Wayne?
Judging by what happened in previous installments of the Life and Times, the
answer is probably yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes...
> Not to mention the Unholy Three: Tojo, Hitler, and Stalin?
...not to mention yes, yes, and yes!
