   I think Carl Barks wrote that “Western” song for a Donald Duck story he penned. His version went, “Oh, bury me thar / With my Battered Gittar -/I’m singin’ my heart out fer yew…”

   MEMO TO MR. MAEDER AND MR. SLAMP-YAK:

   I have a special affectation for Annie because, years ago, my mother bought me the soundtrack album for the movie. About two years later, I watched part of the movie itself at the Ottawa Child Study Centre, but I missed the other half because my parents took me to my uncle’s for Christmas the next day.

   I’ve always been fascinated by transpositions of identity, starting when I was ten years old and read KING OTTOKAR’S SCEPTRE, a Tintin story. Therefore, I like the idea of Daddy Warbucks having a double. I should like to make the suggestion to Mr. Maeder and Mr. Slampyak, that the double turns out to be Shatterfist, the man responsible for the death of the brother of the Golden Age hero, the Target, who is now in the public domain due to the fact that the company who owned him has been defunct for many years.
