A happy birthday present- from me, to you! Well. And to me. Because hell this is super self indulgent even as doodle comics go, but had to get some of that hype out of me regarding the reboot.
modmad asked: Just to let you know that I am stupendously ready for the new Ducktales cartoon and finding out that you are working on it is just the icing on the cake- this show couldn't be in better hands. Very excited to annoy all my followers into watching it too! Carl Barks forever!
So I can finally announce that I’ve been working on Disney XD’s brand new DUCKTALES series, coming in 2017! It’s been an absolute dream come true working on this amazing show with a crew that LOVES (and in some ways, have been defined by) the original series and comics. And that passion is shining through on every episode.
“But, Frank,” you cry to the heavens, “who the heck do you think you are to be writing DuckTales?!” Some of my credentials:
- DuckTales Theme lyrics were included in my wedding vows.
- My eldest daughter’s first words were “Woo-oo!”
- My first apartment was nicknamed Duckburg.
- Had the “Moon Theme” as my ringtone for five years.
- An almost unreasonable love for all things Barks, Rosa, EU comics, Original Series, and Video Games, as well as the entirety of the Disney Afternoon.
- This photo of me at age 10:
For the record, I wore that on several non-Halloween occasions.
So hang on tight, everybody. Racecars. Lasers. Aeroplanes. It’s gonna be a Duck Blur.
