Thank you  It is really nice to hear!
Yes I have had 6 stories published in the Norwigian Donald Duck magazine so far.  Both more unofficial stories as part of competitions and a story written by the Norwigian editor and illustrated by me. As part of it, a small program on the Norwigian DIsney Channel focused on me and my Disney drawings. 

But I'm afraid I do not know Don Rosa personally. I have his autograph signed to me, thanks to a friend of mine. Hopefully, I'll meet him now this fall. If the rumors are correct and he will visit a cartoon festival here, named Raptus comic festival.

You´re welcome!
Wow, that is super interesting! What an honor to have published your original comics to a magazine!
Do you earn some money for your work or is it more of a heart-thing only?

I also don´t know him personally, although I really want to do. His comics are the best because of drawings and plotlines and gags, it´s amazing.
Do you own all of his comics? If so, what´s your favorite?

So far, it has given me recognition enough to get me other paid assignments. However, I have written a text for a Donald Duck book I get paid for. 

Yes, I have all his stories in the collection  But an absolute  favorite is a little hard to choose. Presumably, there must be "A Letter from Home" The story of the hunt for the Templar treasure.  Other favorites must be "The Richest Duck In The World" (Or whole life and times series) The Crown Of The Crusader Kings, The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut and Return to Xanadu. 

But I really like Scrooge moral downfall in chapter 11 of The life and times of Scrooge McDuck. This makes him much more interesting and multidimensional. But I guess "A Letter from Home" is my favorite.

Ah, that´s neat! If you can earn a little money of that, too, that´s really nice.

Aaah, me too! I have the collection "hall of fame" in the German version (although I would like to have at least one English comic, too, to see how Rosa writes in original.

Yeah, the very favourite comic is very hard to choose.
Personally, I love the comics with Magica. For example, with the magical plate, or when she puts a spell on Scrooge and Donald that made them forget everything they said. You remember these?
But I have to admit that "A letter from home" has the most interesting story, it is so gorgeous. I really CRIED when reading the end. It´s so beautiful. So, this is my story-favourite.

I had headaches when reading chapter 11 because of Scrooge´s development there. The scene with his father coming to his mind, and himself saying "I want to get rich through hard work, honorable" was really touching.

I adore also "The magnificent seven (minus four) caballeros". It is amazing because it shows Donald´s inner feelings and how he lost his anger and temperament because of the treatment of his family.

yeah, I am looking forward to the new reboot. It seems to be interesting, and more inspired by Carl Barks and Don Rosa When it comes to stories and details.
