Hi there,
I??m one of the owners of the small German Disney Comics Website www.fieselschweif.de
I??ve been reading here for a long time, now I write my first post to promote a project on our website, so-called "Künstlerwahl". The idea is simple: Every fan can vote for his favorite artists of Disney Comics with a ranking list.

Just a few things you should note:
- Of course you can vote only one time. Your list has to contain between 5 and 20 artists (20 would be better, because the result would be more significant)
- Allowed are writers and designers, who made at least five Disney Comics. Not allowed are translators, inkers, etc.
- The points are distributed as follows: 1st place = 25 points, 2nd place = 23 points, 3rd place = 22 points, 4th place = 21 points, ... , 20th place = 5 points.
- Deadline: May the 31st. In June the "Top 20" will be revealed day after day.

Here??s the link to the German text: http://www.fieselschweif.de/kuenstler/wahl-2013/
Directly to the voting: http://www.fieselschweif.de/kuenstler/wahl-2013/umfrage/
(It??s not necessary to sign up in our forum, you can just vote as guests and confirm your vote by e-mail ?? of course we don??t pass your addresses on third parties!)

Are there any Questions? (I hope you understand me in spite of my bad English!)
We would be pleased if you would take part! ;)

With best wishes,
Manuel

Bad voting system. After a few tries with matching the letters, the system answered :

"Bitte korrigiere die folgenden Fehler, bevor du fortfährst:
Du hast an dieser Umfrage bereits teilgenommen."

But that was wrong, since before I had not written the correct letters and thus not given my vote. But after that when I did match the letters correctly I am supposed to have given my vote, but no confirmation e-mail received leads to the conclusion the system is wrong (or only accepts one try with matching letters).

Anyhow I publish my vote here instead. (The voting is more biased if the page does not show all the new artists that are voted for - if that is the case).

1.Carl Barks
2.Floyd Gottfredson
3.Paul Murry (his high position influenced by good scripts by Fallberg)
4.Al Taliaferro
5.Carl Fallberg
6.Bill Wright (his high position influenced by good scripts in his late 1940's stories)
7.Gil Turner (for his Little Bad Wolf art around 1949-1951 or so)
8.Daan Jippes (for his Barks like art)
9.Tony Strobl (for his work before 1960)
10.Dick Moores (for his Mickey Mouse long early stories influenced by good scripts)
11.Carl Buettner (for his early Little Bad Wolf art)
12.Manuel Gonzales
13. Harvey Eisenberg (for his early Little Bad Wolf art)

I'm sorry for the problems! My associate has fixed the error, so now it should work. Please try it again! :) (It's easier for us, if you use the voting system)

I was successful in voting on that German site, and received the confirmation e-mail message that my votes were counted.

A lot of you have listed Massimo De Vita on your lists. But no one has listed his father, Pier Lorenzo De Vita, who i think was a much more important artist in developing the Italian Disney style, and whose drawing I like much better.

Thank you very much for voting!
Up to now we have 28 voters... and there are ca. 80 artists, who got at least one vote. I think that shows the variety of Disney Comics!

If you are present on other websites/forums about Disney Comics, you're of course welcome to recommend the voting there. ;)
