Carl Barks in Denmark, TV-interview (1994)

[@Monsterofthemyst]

I was a very sick child growing up. My mom got me a disney comic for every day I survived. Carl Barks was my Hero. My biggest Regret is that I never got to meet him and tell him in person. R.I.P Carl Barks, The best in comic book storytelling, The Good Duck Artist, and my Hero. Great Documentary.

[@Evan.Arapis]

Lucky you !

[@Jack95tp]

I love the way he laughs when he talks about his creations. He was a great artist, and mostly a great person. We'll always love you, Carl!

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

It's just such a shame Disney swindled him and others like Rosa instead of paying them well.

[@tylsimys67]

@@RoyalKnightVIII Don Rosa? The worst cartoonist in any shape or form that I know - and I'm after all a comics freak from E.C. to Jean Giraud.

[@Unknown_20572]

Rest in peace carl barks!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

"Wow... I didn't know he was big in Denmark. He was a star in Finland." Bark's legacy was celebrated throughout Scandinavia in a way we Americans could only dream of. We're only lucky any of it got published at all.

[@Twestination]

He's the best storyteller ever. If it wasn't for him, even anime wouldn't be what it is.

[@lukasnummer1]

One of the greatest geniuses of the 21st century.

[@scholion]

A masterly artist, a genius, a great fellow with a very big heart and a true American! Greetings from Sweden!

[@Sattlen]

Carl Barks a true legend, he will never be forgotten

[@MisterApomixis]

Awesome. I'm Canadian and first discovered his stories around age 4 in some of my mom's old Dells. They were such a big part of my childhood and formative years; in a way he really is part of who I am.

[@limelight8018]

me too in nb, my bedtime stories me and dad read

[@normbeaudoin3635]

What a great man !! He helped me have a happy childhood ! Over 50 years later I still have all of those Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics. 🤗

[@Sattlen]

Awesome, me too, Carl Barks was and is great

[@loftsatsympaticodotc]

Wonderful interview. Makes me now know why I always enjoyed Uncle Scrooge so much. My bro too- I well remember he bought me some reprints..... about !40 years ago! Carl, your works fulfilled your fond hope- and may they live on forever. You were a well appreciated great writer in your genre, and a well liked person, I'm sure.

[@eddewagner8914]

We love Carl Barks in Brazil!

[@Evan.Arapis]

I wish he was my grandfather..

[@elricthorn9722]

My fav artist all the time！Gave me a sweet childhood！R.I.P Carl～

[@Ben4149]

He's the "Good Duck Artist".

[@Davaroni]

People aren’t made like this anymore.

[@Leopardus84]

Wow... I didn't know he was big in Denmark. He was a star in Finland.

[@robertklein7665]

And also a national treasure in The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Norway and Sweden, as well. And for us in Canada and USA way back during the 1940s and 1950s. He was my hero, and the catalyst for both my careers. I was glad to have met him. He was a nice a person as one would expect from reading his stories.

[@PunchNY]

I'd do anything for one of his money-bin paintings....

[@omnipotentbanana1576]

Its interesting to hear his voice

[@Ratelzwatel]

Longer version, as promised: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2m0ioeFepqEgpo (muddy audio, but starting earlier)

[@tomi_9212]

This is one of Carl`s first overboard trip. Egmont Group is danish publishing company with many contracts with many comic book publishers, This is why Donald Duck, Anders And - in danish. Kalle Anka swedish.- Aku Ankka Finnish , Donald always finish last so thats why "Finnish" is last :D. Carl basically lived the entire 19th century, i made a school work about his life, dont know if i still have it in the somewhere.

[@punkkid21]

I also did a school project about him too 😂

[@theodoralenius5344]

Carl Barks is the greatest comic artist of all time. Nothing can change my opinion, he is just a Legend. Just think what he has created

[@RemiDuck]

RIP 😭

[@tomhanson4008]

One of the most underrated comic book artists of all time.

[@TheAbderaman]

we ned people like his generation to save this mad world

[@slob5041]

Barks is like what Stan Lee pretended to be

[@frolic63]

Best Donald cartoonist ever

[@jacquestaulard3088]

Great interview

[@LuukvdDam]

Legend

[@Ratelzwatel]

About 8-9 minutes is missing from the beginning. And there's an intro of 1 minute, showing Barks in a crowd of fans outside. I know a different source, without subtitles, without logo, but with muddy audio compared to your source. I'll try to have it uploaded somewhere (and then I'll let you know).

how much I love this man

[@Hermy1138]

So sad that everyone here is probably Scandinavian, myself included

[@Aivottaja]

What counts is he had millions of fans.

[@99pedropotter]

I'm Brazilian

[@alexgarcia9578]

I'm american... what's sad for me is that most Americans don't appreciate this man's work like in other countries.

[@limelight8018]

i'm canadian and i want a money bin too

[@GenghisDon1970]

Canadian

[@XAVIERCUERVO]

i LOVE this man people like him should never die

[@tylsimys67]

Danes... They were the ones who cut, censored, rewrote and even redrew the Carl Barks stories - finding them too "exciting" for children or just to give some second rate European cartoonists their full share in Scandinavian magazines in the 60's and 70's.

[@Sattlen]

Maybe I just haven't done enough research about this but as someone who is in fact from Denmark I've never heard about his stories being cut, censored, redrawn, rewrote, however if that's true then that's just a shame since I'm all against changing art, I'd rather have the pure stories from him then those "cut/redrawn/rewrote/censored" ones that you're talking about. So yeah if it's all true what you're saying that's really unfortunate, the way you said "Danes" as if we actually wanted his stories censored or whatever bs, no one ever wanted that.

[@adlaistevenson2623]

@@Sattlen I have a fairly extensive collection of the Scandinavian books - The Swedish run, but Egmont was still the publisher - and yeah, some of those 60's and 70's issues contain horrible tracing jobs of Barks stories. Truly a dark time for Disney Comics, but at least they got better at honoring his legacy in the 80's and onwards.

[@Sattlen]

@@adlaistevenson2623 What I have noticed in a lot of the Carl Barks comics, the book sized ones that contain all these different Carl Barks stories is that.. they're recolored to be up to todays standards which is a shame, I want it how it was originally without someone "refining" or touching up his work to their own liking.

[@GenghisDon1970]

hilarious he is revolting against political correctness, sorry, woke, already in 1994. Wise, witty, kind, talented man, he was
