At the risk of sounding like a stupid and utterly anal purist (because I really try not to be one of those types)...
I wish that Gemstone had kept his original name of Slackjaw SnoreMORE. It just plain sounds AND rolls off the tongue better. If Slackjaw himself weren't such a minor character I'd be tempted to call that one of Gemstone's very few big blunders when it came to translation and localization issues.
But I guess if Lars doesn't complain about it its not THAT big a deal I suppose

I actually think "Snorehead" rolls better off the tongue. But on the other hand, "Snoremore" seems to be a nicer name. "Snorehead" does sound like a stupid name, even for a comic character.
Quackberg
Well I like "Snorehead" better than "Snoremore" mostly because it more of an actual word - it has even been used in a Carl Barks story: "Watching the Watchman". It's on the last panel.

An oil painting of Scrooge:

I have painted mountains before and thought it could be a nice setting for Scrooge on his gold hunt.
Quackberg
Very Good, VoBo!
Furienna
Yeah! :D
VoBo
Thank you Quackberg and Furienna.
Heja Sverige!
Furienna
Ja, heja Sverige! ;)

Done in splendid Barks fashion, Quackberg!

Great MM drawing too, Vobo; unfortunately I can't see what I suppose was the colored version in the previous message (not even a "red cross").
I love the painting, too. What size is it?
Furienna
I see the red cross, but nothing else.

Thank you, Oliver.

Yes, it was supposed to be the coloured version, but it has disappeared somehow, don't know why?

The oil painting measures 50cm x 60cm

Quote from user: Roger NorthThat is a cool painting of Scrooge. It looks like the cover of Uncle Scrooge #292.
Thank you, Roger.

That may very well be, I don't recall the cover, but have of course looked at different drawings to find that happy
moment where Scrooge hits the jackpot. And I definately used one of DR's drawings as a guide/inspiration.

Thank you again, Roger.
Oliver, here is the colour version (I hope!):

That's a decidedly dandy duck doodle, VoBo!
