Thanks for this correction. I was of th...Hi David,<br /><br />Thanks for this correction. I was of the understanding that Barks seldom wrote "Barney Bear."<br /><br />His heart was clearly not in these stories, with a few notable exceptions. I felt that he took what was given to him and improved upon it.<br /><br />Is it known which stories Barks wrote?Frank M.

AFAIK, it's been pretty well established that Barks wrote the lion's share of them, with only a couple of the first and last being written by others.<br />Otherwise keep up the magnificent work and research... great stuff!

Stanley ...To answer Mike Matei's question: hmm! Stanley had some good runs on NEW FUNNIES... but it's hard to pick just one issue.<br /><br />In general, issues 121-127 are all of very high quality. As well, those offer the highest quantity of Stanley scripting per issue.<br /><br />I also really like the run of 1945/6 issues with Stanley-drawn "Woody Woodpecker" stories.<br /><br />Since the non-Stanley stuff is pretty dire, and since some issues have very little Stanley content, NEW FUNNIES is a mixed bag.<br /><br />Those 120-something issues are all pretty great, for Woody, Andy Panda and Oswald (and, sometimes, Li'l Eight-Ball). Check out the Stanley-drawn Woody one-pagers on the inside covers--beautiful examples of his 1940s cartooning!Frank M.
