Well, I'll have to take your word for it, Kneon, and hope it means something good! Dandy duck doodle?
You know your avatar drawing is on the back of the magazine, right?

Well, it's the best looking issue ever! With our drawings on the front and back :D

Quote from user: WBI 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

Slackjaw Snorehead is Lars' original name for the character.
When Americanizing the story, I originally renamed him Slackjaw Snoremore, and it was at that time that I wrote the advance ad copy for the issue (where you and others saw the name).
I later went back to Snorehead at Lars' request. I prefer the sound of "Snoremore," but Lars had some good reasons for why he preferred the original?and he convinced me.

Kneon, you should apply as a cover artist for the Wiz-o'-Mick stuff!

Two more great pictures! :)

Thank you, Furienna!

Thanks for the color version, Vobo!

Interesting pose, Quackberg (and a perfect drawing, of course); it shows how much a character's thoughts / feelings / meaning can be conveyed by more than their face.
My first idea when seeing only the face would be to interpret it as Glomgold plotting something nasty, rubbing his heads together as he delights in the unfailing scheme he has come up with.
The outstretched arms and hands make him rather look as if he were saying "See: nothing! Search all you want, you won't find it here!" / "Be my guest!"

Thank you, Oliver and I think it's great that you took some notice to the posture of the character. What I had in mind, when I drew him, is similar to what you said. You are right about that he has a diabolical plan in mind but I see it as he showing that he is victorious in something, like: "See, McDuck! I won and there is nothing you can do about it!" (And of course something happens that makes him the loser just a few seconds later). But nothing is settled so I'm glad that you see something diffrent in the picture =).
