Jeez. I go around specifically trying to provoke/mock people? Who knew? For the record, in that particular instance, I responded that way because I found it mildly humorous that I could instantly predict who would respond to that post, how, and what the tone would be. Okay, okay; maybe it was a little provocative, but really, now, this is the internet--if something as mild as that gets your goat, maybe this isn't the place for you.
Anyway, I apologize for any offense it DID cause. If I didn't respect you to at least some extent, I wouldn't have recently written a positive review of a story of yours, now would I?
I do NOT, however, apologize for thinking that your attitude towards scans and the like is hyperbolic and sub-rational. That's just non-negotiable.

Quote from user: CoolwaterQuote from user: ChabacanoI've been reading Taliaferro's strips through the following link: [...]. Here in Brazil, Disney comic readers just care about Barks/Rosa, but Taliaferro owned a fantastic sense of humor indeed. Is there some prejudice against him because he just wrote comic strips and not full stories?
I don't think it's necessarily a prejudice if those short comic strips don't appeal so much to one. I do fully acknowledge and prize Karp and Taliaferro as pre-Barksian prophets of Donald Duck, but being honest I must admit that my interest for their strip work is much lower than for the work of Barks or of other great creators of long stories in later times. It's surely not the prejudice of the ignorant that is here at work; actually I do read all Taliaferro strips I come across, and I also bought the collection of sunday strips that was started (and soon ceased) here years ago. I'd say it's indeed the limited scope of the gag strip compared with the long story that makes the first one of only secondary interest for many, even if Karp and Taliaferro did excellent work on the field of the gag strip. However, I also find Barks' one- and half-pager gags comparatively "uninteresting".
Ok. I got your point, but I do think some comic strips can be so ingenious as some brilliant long stories, 'cos the idea in that short comic strip can be particularly original and amazing.

Joakim. Thank you for the leads on publishers. We will follow up with this and keep you posted.

Sounds interesting, LW. Thanks for letting us know.
