'''Keno Don Rosa''' is a big fan of [[Carl Barks]] who eventually got promoted to write the official [[Donald Duck]] stories in the spirit of ''[[Carl Barks|The Good Duck Artist]]''. He is one of those rare few writers who have managed to make an excessive use of [[Continuity Porn]] into great stories, and is widely regarded as one of the best things that ever happened to Disney comics.
 
Up until his retirement, he had executive power over the Duck family canon, and brought the world some seriously great [[Arc Welding]] in the process.
Line 35:
* [[Comic Book Time]]: Averted, Rosa set all of his stories (at least, the ones in the "present") sometime in the '40s or '50s, to be consistent with Barks' stories. He's even stated that the time line of his stories isn't the same as the order he wrote them.
* [[Continuity Porn]]: Oh yeah!
** [[Carl Barks]] himself thought that Don Rosa made too much Continuity Porn, and he encouraged Keno to write original stories without the influence of his stories that were made in the 50s. One of the main reasons behind this is that Carl Barks' m.o. was to make all his stories original, and that he was ashamed of reusing elements from earlier stories, even if those stories turned out to be great.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Scrooge, all the way.
* [[Creator Insignia]]: "D.U.C.K."
