Me and my fads

I tend to, from time to time, to entertain some more or less private fads ("private" as in "i'm the only one caring"). I suddenly take a huge interest in something obscure and/or weird, and focus entirely on this the next days/weeks/months. Apparently, my current fad in January 2006 was ASOIAF.
A couple of months ago, I was scanning through www.bokklubben.no looking for ways to use my kr 1000,- gift card when I stumbled upon "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion", containing every single "inbetween" chapter for "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", which I naturally bought (confused whether I bought the real "Life and Times..." or just the "companion"? Well, that is becaus I bought both of them! Fooled ya!). Finally I could read the entire saga from start to end including all those extra chapters which usually just float all around, including "The Prisoner of White Agony Creek" which I had never read before.
And by jolly what an adventure. It may be because I've been emotionally unstable lately, but the Yukon trilogy literally blew me away. "White Agony Creek", while not being the greatest story I've ever read, made the ending in "Hearts of Yukon" about a thousand times sadder (and that was already sad enough). And I say, that must have been the very first sex scene I've ever seen in a Disney comic.
Why I wrote that first paragraph, you ask? Because Don Rosa comics are my current fad, of course!
