Time for some education.
Some notable and influential cartoonists/artists have passed away since the year 2000 and I thought it would be appropriate to bring up some of them that you may or may not have heard of. One of these people happens to be Carl Barks. Barks was the man responsible for the creation of Scrooge McDuck and for drawing and writing many of the Disney comic books starring all the Disney Ducks. His stories, combining adventure, fantasy, and some social commentary, were considered some of the most definitive work on these Disney Characters, and his legacy lives on in many classic paintings such as this one. If you've ever seen Duck Tales, or cracked open a Disney comic book, Carl Barks is the man you have to thank for its feel and look. This painting is titled "Sport of Tycoons." Further information can be found by any simple web search.
