This is Barks?

⚠️Update: The auction was cancelled.

Auction house Dorotheum (Vienna) currently offers an original artwork by Carl Barks, or so they say: DOROTHEUM VIENNA

I say, I have questions. A lot of them.

The "original" is so massively poorly done, that it can't be Barks' work, can it? Besides, the handwriting on it is clearly not Barks' nor is it his signature, I reckon. And it was done 14 years (see box on the image: "23.3|2014|ME") after Barks' passing?

Please find attached the original comic page, 'Christmas Kiss' (1952), juxtaposed against the auction's copy. The comic page is undisputedly produced by Carls Barks, displaying the proper Daisy drawing which definitely was the source material for the auction's piece.

I had a blast

I just returned back home from CTN Expo, the other day. I have to agree with Sandro Cleuzo, CTN Expo 2023 - its 15th edition already - was one of the best, there's no doubt about it. A million thanks to Tina Price and her team, I had a marvelous time, very, very much.

Mickey Mouse

Off-model-ish. However, I think it captures the pure essence of who he is, a drawing.

Donald Duck,
for real

This is the opposite of an off-model Donald Duck. Actually, it is an overly on-model one, overly on real-life-model.
