A report from Barks visit in Sweden 1994
Saturday 18th of June 1994
Barks arrived at 8.30 a.m. by ferry to Värtahamnen in Stockholm. An Daimler drove aboard and picked him up.
At noon it was time for a press meeting. Barks received the Adamson Statuette from Sture Hegerfors, President of Svenska Serieakademin, where upon Per Erik Hallin, who used to be Donald Duck's Swedish voice, sang a new Donald-birthday song dedicated to Barks.
At the evening The Swedish branch of Egmont's hosted a dinner for Barks.
Sunday 19th of June 1994
Barks paid a visit to the Royal Palace and after lunch he arrived at Brygghuset where members of NAFS(k) and Seriefrämjandet (both Swedish Comics Forums) had gathered to meet him. He was slightly late but when he walked into the meeting room he was met with ovations. Barks and his manager Grandey sat down in armchairs and an interview started. Barks answered all questions professionally, but one could not help feeling that he was at times diplomatic in order not to offend the publishers and his fans.
The meeting was scheduled to last for 30 minutes but as the interview ended the public had an unexpected chance to ask questions. After the session Barks received presents. Among them were a nice beer glass (Barks was said to be fond of beer) and a glass vase filled with gold coins.
The next event was that Kathy Morby (Barks' second manager) announced that Carl would be happy to autograph something for everyone. Those who had brought along magazines and albums could queue up whereas the ones who did not bring anything would receive autographed folders about the latest Barks-lithographs. The queue grew so long that Kathy Morby had to stop the session on behalf of Barks as he was getting tired. Those who had not yet got an autograph were requested to leave their stuff at Grand Hotel for signed later.
Then Barks left the meeting and later at night he emerged in Stockholm's archipelagos to have dinner on a steamboat.
Monday 20th of June 1994
