>>The storytelling is so compelling that such details just never registered. Which is exactly what good comics must do: they must convey the story, not the work that went into making them.<<

This is so true! Many times, when I haven't been sure how to draw or communicate something in my comics, I'll look at other work...but in such a way as to examine it. It always looks different to me than when I was just reading the work for pleasure and all the details just seemed to blend into one image. Your quote above explains it very well.

"we're all family in comics" I love this, though I'd say we all get along better!

Thank you very much for this story. Great informative film about Carl Barks work and life. Remarkable that he got really credits and journeys after he reached 68
