AJD Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 @Scrooge: does this one correspond to a daily as well? If so I'd love to see it, because I don't really get the cover gag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Donald's bright idea is to graduate to the cannon from the firecrackers; but if you have to explain a joke it doesn't work too well!!

I did catch a few more - Now, you don't have to wonder about the nephew's scared expression on the right. He is not angry as the others are but concerned. See the final panel to know why!

Scrooge Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The last one is from a single panel from the very first Sunday for the strip - Transplant and AJD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thanks Scrooge. There's at least one more. The middle daily on this page from WDC&S #9... ... is also the cover of #14 (which is one of the ones I don't have): While I'm here, here's another version of the rooster panel, this time on the front of a UK bi-weekly comic paper, repurposed as a WW2 exhortation.

Sqeggs Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) It popped into my head while looking at this cover that I can't think of another Barks cover that references a non-Duck Disney IP. Is there one? Edited to add: And, of course, it's actually a Strobl cover. Anyway, are there any Barks covers referencing Disney IP? Or other WDC&S covers, even if by other artists?

There are quite a few by Walt Kelly among the first years of WDC&S. Mickey appears on quite a few, as do the dwarves and gremlins - but none by Barks that I can think of.

I do have some of those early books with Mickey covers but I didn't realize how many there were. So far as I know, there wasn't a cross-over story featuring both of them during the Dell WDC&S period.

BB-Gun Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I noticed a news item on line that made me think of an Uncle Scrooge story. I wonder if Barks saw a National Geographic's story about Harpy Eagles. Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can someone help me out with what the "386-71" run means please? I know you have the 3 issues of Four Color, then #s 4-39 from the Dell 1953 series, but then the numbering continues with the Western 1963 series, correct? I guess my confusion arises because the Western series goes up well past #71, so I'm unsure where the 71 in 386-71 comes from. Sorry, there was probably a less confusing way to ask this.
