I was going to create a thread for this, but it seems you beat me to it. Happy Birthday, Carl! The world wouldn't be the same without you!
MY life surely would have been different. Without first Donald's and then Scrooge's Worldwide travels, | might not have pursued my career with The United Nations, and, I certainly wouldn't have ended up having the enjoyable job of writing and storyboarding Disney Duck stories and comic magazine covers. I think most of us on this forum would have far less friends and pen friends in other lands, if Barks had never created his stories.
