The WSJ has been trying to remake itself as a more "conventional" newspaper for some time and does have a pretty decent "cultural" section. I miss the defunct NEW YORK SUN, which had an even better one AND gave a different ideological perspective on high and semi-high culture than New Yorkers were used to.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-59852659015759850382012-09-21T23:14:59.323-04:002012-09-21T23:14:59.323-04:00I'm thrilled to see that the WSJ not only prin...I'm thrilled to see that the <i>WSJ</i> not only printed a review of Vol. 2, but that it was a strikingly <i>glowing</i> review. I'd hoped that Fantagraphics' efforts would earn Barks wider recognition and higher regard in the U.S., and in that regard, this review is only a positive development...<br /><br />...but, yes, those errors(*) <i>are</i> irritating, eh? If the <i>Journal</i> wants to have a regularly comics review column, I know of a few bloggers who would <i>never</i> have made such mistakes... ;)<br /><br />-- RyanRyan Wynnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477919968924048814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-10478229658409782732012-09-20T20:01:15.995-04:002012-09-20T20:01:15.995-04:00“We certainly wouldn't want the readers of thi...“We certainly wouldn't want the readers of this august journal to think that (1:) Carl Barks' Ducks lived in "Duckville," or that the seminal Barks $CROOGE story was titled (2:) "Only a Poor Man." I'm not too thrilled about that reference to (3:) George "Harriman," either.”<br /><br />Easily explained, Chris! <br /> <br />(1:) "Duckville". The author accidently picked up a BABY HUEY comic, thinking it was about one of the nephews. <br /><br />(2:) "Only a Poor Man". This was about Scrooge’s brief period in “The 47 Percent”! Look it up in “Life and Times”.<br /><br />(3:) George "Harriman". Perhaps he meant “Averell Harriman". As governor in the ‘50s he was “…like, a ca-raa-zy cat”!<br /><br />…Any more questions?Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
