That is a rare treat. This was before Rosa finished "The Pied Piper of Duckburg" and Van Horn illustrated "Horsing Around With History," or Pat Block's "Somwhere to Nowhere".

When I started collecting contemporary duck comics, I sorta glossed over Vicar as much out of a sort of kneejerk prejudice against moderns in general than anything else. Looking back, there's a lot to like--that "Filling Station" story is indeed a great piece of work (though when I think of how easily the Beagles could have avoided getting caught just by not making the station public--or by putting the relevant pump in a back room <i>inside the building...</i>man, they should hire me as a consultant). I'm sure that if I'd first encountered his work when I was younger and impressionable-er, I would always have been a big fan--I mean, I liked all this awful stuff by the likes of Dick Moores pretty indiscriminately, so surely I would've had no problems with someone as skilled as Vicar.<br /><br />But the good news is, as you note, there's plenty of time to rediscover his work, even more so if we ever get a new publisher (<i>we're waiting...</i>).GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756369649414088624.post-53404325088917055452012-01-07T01:59:32.895-05:002012-01-07T01:59:32.895-05:00Joe,
