ORDVALGENE

Når Barks skrev sine historier, polerede og efterpolerede han altid ordene mangfoldige gange, indtil han var helt sikker på, at teksterne i ruderne fortalte præcis, hvad han ønskede. Han brugte megen tid på at barbere unødvendige fraser væk såvel som forklaringer, der tydeligt kunne ses af tegningerne. Desuden prøvede han altid at finde de bedste og mest beskrivende ord til dialogen, han kunne. Og resultatet er overvældende; alle sande Barksister er i stand til at deklamere indholdet af mange talebobler, hvilket kun sjældent er tilfældet med andre Disney-tegnere!!!
På denne side præsenteres nogle FÅ af disse mindeværdige ordvalg. Husk at Barks lavede flere end 50.000 ruder, så dette er helt klart kun et udvalg. Du vil sikkert kikke forgæves efter nogle af dine egne favoritter. Det er beklageligt, for de fortjener alle at nævnes...

NB.: Der vil af indlysende grunde ikke være nogen idé i at anvende de danske oversættelser af Barks' ordvalg, men prøv at glæde dig over hans sprudlende fantasi på hans eget sprog. Det er slet ikke så svært!
