It is almost unheard of that the artist of a funny animal comic book is presented in the publication in a manner as that seen below. Furthermore, the artist presents opinions and commentaries about one of his primary characters. But that is what happened in Uncle Scrooge #266 from May 1992! The artist was, of course, Carl Barks and the one-page article about Uncle Scrooge himself was entitled Who Is Uncle Scrooge And What Makes Him Tick?
In all fairness it must be made clear that the biographical accounts in the text were
not written for the issue. They are quotes from several previous interviews with Barks garnished with a few panels from his stories. Also, the text can hardly qualify as being an Analysis per say, still, that is what it is called. But despite the article's obvious flaws it is interesting reading - and a great honour and reverence to Barks!
