In this week’s episode we discuss the life and times of writer/cartoonist Carl Barks. Tyler’s prepared a presentation that takes some twists and turns you might not expect! Barks, also known as “The Good Duck Artist”, wrote and illustrated the Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic books from 1942-1966 and doing so influenced Steven Spielberg, Osamu Tezuka, George Lucas, and much more modern media. Prepare yourself for some Duck Tales! (Woo-OOO!) As always follow us on X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DadsAreDorks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and you can visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.dadsaredorks.com
