Anonymous asked: okay I know you're still working on the next doodle comic (and it'll be a long time bc you've said it's 'a doozy' and like at least 30 pages long) but can you at least give us a tiny hint of what it's about? I gotsa know SOMETHING about it!
you’re twisting my arm here (and you’re right it’s going to be Long While before it’s finished), but I don’t want to spoil things, so I’ll just give two little samples of Carl Barks which have fed into its inspiration: one, the shading and overall vibe of this panel of Only a Poor Old Man -
And this line of Gladstone’s in A Christmas for Shacktown (he also says it in a couple of other stories like A Financial Fable)
