Scrooge Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 QUACK! Channeled is putting it mildly. Is this from "Life and Times of S McD?" Yes and No. It's not from the Canon, it's from the Apocrypha since it's Episode 6 Bis, The Vigilante of Pizzen Bluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) QUACK! Channeled is putting it mildly. Is this from "Life and Times of S McD?" Yes and No. It's not from the Cannon, Comme ça? it's from the Apocrypha since it's Episode 6 Bis, The Vigilante of Pizzen Bluff. Oh, of course. "Episode 6 Bis, The Vigilante of Pizzen Bluff" (I don't know what the #$%^ that means because I've never read any of it. I should remedy that soon. Don Rosa is a U of KY graduate who lives right down the road in Louisville. We've actually corresponded with him about our Periodic Table of Comic Books project.)

I should remedy that soon. Don Rosa is a U of KY graduate who lives right down the road in Louisville. We've actually corresponded with him about our Periodic Table of Comic Books project.) Alright, Canon edited in my original post Mr. Nitpick. The Life & Time of Uncle Scrooge refers to the 12 episodes printed in US 285 to 296 but Rosa didn't stop there and added other episodes that belong in the same chronology after the publication of these first 12 episodes. For example Episode 6 Bis takes place after Episode 6 published in US 290 and before Episode 7 published in US 291. The Episode 6Bis itself was published in US 306. The attention to detail and timeline is entirely part of what makes Rosa's work special. You ought to pick it up and read it some time, esp. with the recent publication of all these stories in 2 convenient TPBs. And to keep this thread on track, I have Rosa's re-interpretation of Tales from the Crypt # 39 hanging in my office - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our public library doesn't have it. Shocking! And to keep this thread on track, I have Rosa's re-interpretation of Tales from the Crypt # 39 hanging in my office - HAW! Good one.
