As a duck fan I would love to see more of these ducks, show some love to Rosa, Cavazzano and other creators too. As a Turtles fan I also would love to see more TMNT comics. As a comic book fan, I would love to see more of everything that you show... In other words, keep doing what you do. Thank you for all the entertainment from your own comics as well as these commentaries on comics made by others. You guys are awesome. :)

I’ve never read many of the duck comics at all. I know those slightly older then me have a great affinity for them.

@austinhamblin6453 Год назад

Keeping up my streak of trying to comment on every video I watch I’ll have to do it on ones as well

Merry Christmas fellas.

@oliverosuna7493 Год назад

Currently obsessed with the Barks duck comics. Was happy as a clam to get two back-to-back Barks videos from the channel. ❤

@williamflipper Год назад

Same, about the gift from mysterious benefactor in front of the classroom. I got some free books when I was 7 or 8 years old. Really awkward feelings.

@mauricioparaguassu1237 Год назад

Thank you so much for this second "Carl Barks Christmas Special" !!! For body language, I suppose that Mr. Barks was influenced by the Vaudeville/Clown art/ Chaplin/ B. Keaton expressive gestures. I Just Love how " Circus like" Uncle Scrooge kicks Donald's butt in the previous video (Letter to Santa)! Merry Christmas Ed and Jim!🥳👏

Happy holidays guys! More power in 2023!

@peterm.fitzpatrick7735 Год назад

Thank you, Ed and Jim, for bringing these older comics back to a large viewing audience on Christmas day, and I hope your holidays are merry and bright!

@jamesgildersleeve Год назад

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Jim and Ed! Thank you for all you do. One of the highlights of my day is watching your videos, and seeing so many amazing comics. What you do brings a smile to a lot of us who love creativity and diversity of art. Thank you!!

What's REALLY cool is that the 8 panel grid was almost always made up of two sheets of paper. I could never tell if it was A4 or A3 that was horizontal and taped together, because MOST of the originals were destroyed, but I love going onto Comicartfans and seeing the stuff that was miraculously saved over the years and how BIG the paper looks. And because it was split into two, it was normally four panels per horizontal page that were taped together (Which makes me wonder if he used the two pages during the massive splash pages because MAN that's brave). I've been TRYING to find the interview where Barks mentions that the pens he used were never new because new pens never gave him the line variation and weight he liked. He always had to break them in so that they could get the most subtle line variation that he could (I DON'T think it was a Rotring Rapidograph because they didn't get established in the US until 1954, which was WELL into Barks' run). I don't think Brushes were his thing until he took up the painting. Also, I also think that's a trick that you guys actually get is that white is WAY too overpowering on the eyes. White is reflective of light and especially with colour reprints where the paper is sometimes glossy, it just feels like it's blinding. I think that the Fantagraphics reprints figured out a trick to making the gutters of the page a SLIGHT Magenta because it's quite pleasing to the eye. EDIT - Huh.... Odd point but I think I realised the formula for these things. I think Jim was spot on for the Raiders analogy, but if you look at the layout and remember that all these pages are technically TWO pages taped together, it's kind of got the same function as an old school 4 panel newspaper strip. You get to the end of the second row of panels and it usually ends with something that hooks you, like a Newspaper cliff hanger. He's taking the queues He's learned from guys like Roy Crane with Wash Tubbs & Captain Easy, and transferring it to the 8 panel layout. HA! Awesome!

@ja_no Год назад

The pens he used were Esterbrooks. I didn't know he liked to break them in first, but that makes sense to me. I could never get into drawing with a nib until I stuck with it long enough to wear the damn thing down a bit, and voilà-suddenly I could get a decent line with it. Moebius also preferred a used nib and Alex Toth filed his nibs down before using them at one point (although for a different reason, I believe he just wanted a dead line). Maybe it's true for almost everybody? And you're right, very little brush drawing by Barks, and what he did always felt a bit heavy handed to me. But maybe he did switch materials at some point, his line qualities certainly changed. This may be related to the size that he was drawing at, too. The pages I saw were bigger than 2xA4. (drawing pages in two halves is pretty common in francobelgian comics, which are traditionally also often 4 tiers) He definitely complained about varrying paper quality at points, so maybe that's the main reason for changing line qualities. And you are spot on with the comparison to adventure strips. Roy Crane doesn't get mentioned often enough, but I totally agree. The main difference would be that he learned to plan out and structure his plots overall more than is necessary in a daily strip that goes on and on. He kinda took the parts he needed from strips, animated movies and gag cartoons and came up with his own formula.

@stevena488 Год назад

@@ja_no Yeah, I think that you just get more out of the pens when you can get some line variation. The big issue is restocking because it wears them out quicker (ESPECIALLY when you use a spent nib and get a panel border that looks like a boiling bumpy line). About the paper sizes, That I did NOT know, especially about BD layouts and the like. I always assumed they worked to A3, unless you were someone like Druillet who drew at A1 size in a full office room. I know Barks worked bigger when he started doing the paintings and Lithographs. I am FAIRLY certain Barks didn't change drawing materials (like his pens, pencils, etc), but I do know that he did get his paper from the office, and when they changed supplier, he'd have to adjust. He mentioned that there was a lot of cost cutting so they'd get West German paper which was quite cheap from Barks' recollection and he DID mention he was very heavy handed, especially compared to the other duck artists who were all using photo blue line pencils. And Roy Crane just DOESN'T get enough respect these days I feel. Especially when he could draw the adventure comics and could mix cartoon with realism really well, which is something I think Barks mastered. You can see a lot of Barks in the Captain Easy comics, and Floyd Gottfredson too. Also E.C. Segar.

@ja_no Год назад

@@stevena488 I'm not using pens regularly, but when I do, I use them for a loooooong time. To me they keep getting smoother and smoother to use, but they definitely loose some of the.line variation. I'm much more into drawing with brushes anyway, but I also love the look of great pen inking. And you're totally right, A3 is definitely the traditional format for the classic original art by guys like Franquin, Peyo, Morris, Uderzo etc. Even Giraud drew not nearly as big as I would have expected. I was referring to the practice of cutting the page in half, which is no problem when working on 4-tier-comics. I would have to check to tell how common this was, but I'm certain that Franquin, for example, worked that way. I would guess that most other artist did/do it too, it's much more practical and I don't see a downside. Dutch artist Daan Jippes I believe uses 2 A2 boards for his 4-tier-comics, so his originals are pretty huge. I'm still not sure about the size that Barks worked on, I wish I had the time right now to research that. Flipping through a book I just pulled from the shelf I found a photo with a half-page on his desk, and judging by the objects around it... Edit: Okay, maybe I should try google first;) Here I found the same photo I was looking at in the book, with the actual size of the originals: www.carlbarkscomicbookart.dk/index.asp?loadContent=231064 Can't agree more regarding the comic strip influences! Segar is someone that Barks often mentioned as an influence, as is Gottfredson, but surprisingly to this day, I couldn't find any reference to Crane by him. I also think that a lot of Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse (at least the earlier years) is really close to Wash Tubbs/Captain Easy. When I saw the Mickey Mouse Whaling story drawn on Duotone paper I even suspected that Crane was as much influenced by Gottfredson as the other way around, but I don't know if there's any truth to that. Fun speculating, though!

Merry Christmas Jim and Ed ! Thank you for giving us such interesting and thought provoking content every day. This is a gift you give all of us daily and one more reason to buy anything that has Rugg or Piskor in the credits!

@ja_no Год назад

Barks probably learned how to plan out his stories beforehand while working in animation. Starting (if I remember correctly) as an inbetweener and later moving up to the story department, it was a perfect school for his later career. This may not be true for all of his stories, of course, but he did describe his process in interviews and letters as very structured. It really shows in the final work.

Happy Holidays, Jim and Ed! Over the last six months or so, you two have become like friends I visit with, almost daily. Your content is wonderful and your shared love of comics, as well as the often, underestimated processes involved in making them, comes through in every episode. There's a very real magic that happens within the panels and it's a difficult thing to quantify, but you often identify it and at least try to break it down ,.. reverse-engineering it for the purpose of applying it to your own work, and at the same time making it knowable to your audience. Fascinating stuff. One note about this Christmas episode,.. Ed, your willingness to share that personal story from your childhood is amazing. In this day and age, with everyone so overly-conscious of protecting and polishing their "brand", such unflinching honesty and humility as you have displayed here is absolutely commendable. You generously tell it with almost enough humor to take the edge off of such a heartbreaking story, and yet, I believe your touching tale still caught Jim unawares in that moment as he struggled to segue back to the Carl Barks book. A surprisingly beautiful moment indeed. One which, to put it in terms appropriate to a Scrooge McDuck episode, was PRICELESS. Keep up the great work.

@dealt Год назад

Ed that story is heavy. I can picture myself having that experience. Being singled out like that in school is wack, even if the Lego set was cool.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks for the printing & paper explanation for dummies, I am said dummy. Great episode fellas, Merry Christmas to you both!

@primtones Год назад

It's interesting how the money pit is just used as a subplot, because it's main plot material. With "Only a Poor Old Man" Scrooge's money would become a character themselves, and them getting lost in a pit would not have been treated this lightly after that.

In the 8th grade I was one of three kids who got sent outside because because the class was ordering a class ring! It was horribly embarrassing the way they did it!

Merry Christmas! A great way to end an enjoyable year of Kayfabe! I asked Santa for a Dallas area Comic-con to tempt you guys down here in 2023!

@kevinorde5684 Год назад

Another great video, does anyone know if these are still in print. Since being introduced to Carl Barks I'm really quite interested in reading more of his work.

@Blackadder75 7 месяцев назад

you can buy the complete works of Carl Barks in various printings , it will cost a pretty penny if you want them all, but it's worth it, if you can spare the money. timeless stories.

can yall look at mickey rodent from MAD?

12:00 I guess that the main "counter rule' comics stick for that can end up in acceptable violations of the 180-degree rule would be a "no-intertwined speech bubble tails rule," or perhaps "left-to-right/top-to-bottom speech rule." More so than making the image more interesting somehow, the reading flow is key. Interesting-ness is probably somewhat subordinate, and to the degree that violating the 180-degree rule would incidentally help make things visually more interesting, then that's kind of a bonus.
