2. Controversial in many circles, "How to Read Donald Duck" seems entirely right about imperialist ideology of Disney comics. These panels are from Hoodoo Voodoo, a 1949 story written & drawn by Carl Barks.pic.twitter.com/PMvWiMLKds

Replying to @HeerJeet
Barks got his worldview (how it looked and how it was viewed) largely from back issues of National Geographic. Some of his takes were certainly problematic (I also think of Bombie the Zombie) but, like Herge, I think he stretched and grew as he learned.

Yep. Lots of parallels between Barks and Herge.
