Interesting facts: |
On September 9th the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang (VG) presented an article called Al-Quaida inspired by Donald Duck?. The first few lines says: "It is in the story "Attack of the Space.Varmints" from 1997, by the famous Disney-creator Don Rosa that the near prophetic events take place". The actual panels referred to are panels 4-6 on page 4. The article however concludes that there is no reason to believe that Don Rosa can be blamed for the terrible events in New York on September 11th 2001: Go to AC Sivebæk's The two worlds of Don Rosa to see the difference between the two versions of this story. |
