First comic read by Jeff Smith
Smith: Boy, that’s a good question. It was probably an Uncle Scrooge comic.
Paste: Was it one of Carl Barks’?
Smith: Oh sure, those were the ones that really got me.
Paste: I wonder if he still tours around all of the comic cons doing sketches like he used to.
Smith: You’re thinking of Don Rosa, the artist who was his successor.
Paste: You’re absolutely right.
Smith: Carl Barks was alive in the nineties, and he might have done tours, but it was really Don Rosa, heir apparent, who used to come to Mid-Ohio Con all the time. In fact, Don Rosa still sends me chili peppers. He grows crazy, crazy chili peppers in his garden and sends me boxes of them every now and then. They’re fantastic.
