Duck Comics Plagiarism update
You remember this? No? What am I PAYING you people for? Anyway, out of nowhere, I got an email from Thomas Andrae. Here is what he says:
Let me set the record straight: in the acknowledgements section in my book on Carl Barks I clearly state that Geoffrey Blum “co-wrote with me some of the material on which this book was based.” This is the case with the passage from my book which you quoted. As Geoffrey told you we discussed Magica together and we came up with ideas which we both used in our respective works. I did not footnote Geoff on this passage because I had already given him a general acknowledgment for our co-authored material in my book.
