Well, it seems to day is comics day around here. First it was
Calvin &Hobbes, and now it's
Uncle
Scrooge.
Don Rosa's
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is a comic book
masterpiece. It’s one of my all-time favorite stories, a tribute to
one of the all-time greats, Carl Barks, by
a guy who isn’t too far shy of that title himself. Expertly
researched and threaded through an existing continuity in a way
that’s still incredibly accessible to readers. And yet, every time I
read it, I find myself thinking “wouldn’t this be better if it was
told through the timeless medium of Finnish prog rock?”

Don Rosa Draws For a Finnish Rock Album About Scrooge
McDuck
Um … I never asked myself that question either, but the video presented
of one of the songs has me intrigued enough to maybe pick up the album when
it comes out.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
