That must be one of the Barks stories I still haven't read. Sounds hilarious.

I remember the story. It´s just hillarious!...

A new quote:

"Uncle Scrooge, you're the BIGGEST, bestest friend I ever had!"

I remember reading that quaotation (it's too strange for Scrooge-not to)! But, unfortunately, I can't place it.

Nor can I...

Is that from the story where Donald buys rare coins from Scrooge cheap, without telling Scrooge about their collector's value?

Are you talking about WDC&S nr. 130 ?

by **Robb_K** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:40 am

Yes! That is when Scrooge "lets" Donald overpay him for coins that will soon (hopes Donald) become rare.

by **Doctor Witchie Britchie** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 2:36 pm

Correct! Just picked up a Dell original of that story at a used book store.

Thanks, both of you! - I thought so...

"Why don't you grow GILLS, so you can LIVE down there?"
(which Barsk story?)

That's from the WDC&S ice-fishing ten-pager--the one where Donald goes from using a tent and a light and a spear to using a diving suit and finally using a depth bomb as his frustration at being unable to catch a fisth mounts.

Gyro Gearloose? In one story he stiffens the water in his swimming pool.
Or maybe Donald Duck in 'Back to the Klondike'? Is he running fast over just water there?
