A very big hint: Barks did the script but not the artwork for this story.

It rings a bell in my mind, but getting senile and even already now losing some long-term memory is no fun.

I've no idea what "North of the MacKenzie" is. Can you explain?

That's easy to say. You already know you will forget that promise. ;)

I think it's just a joke. Otherwise I'm lost, too. :)

I protest! Barks grew as story-teller and artist. Only his basic ideas became a bit repetitive, with lots of deserts, etc. At the time of the retirement Woodchucks, his stories become richer because of the new approach, making the Woodchucks heroes of the stories. As a result, Scrooge could be a mean villain again, as side-character, like in the Donald Duck adventures of the late 1940s and early 1950s.

I swear I did not see that spoiler when composing my message!

What a let-down. It's no hint but a give-away. Now anyone could have guessed the answer. Even Paralyzed Buffalo!

WAK! YES it IS "Pawns of The Loup Garou! Booooo! Hissssss! Using a story Barks wrote and Tony Strobl drew so horribly, that I couldn't even look at it!!! NO WONDER I couldn't remember a quotation from it!!! How low!!!


EGG: North of The MacKenzie refers to the wilderness north of The MacKenzie River in Canada's wild uncivilised Northwest Territories (District of MacKenzie). There are only a few Athabaskan Indian tribes and Inuits (and polar bears and caribou) up there.

Not to mention the fact that it's almost physically impossible to do!

"I've gotta have room to expand! Gasp!"
(which story?)

This is from the first Gladstone Gander story, spoken by Gladstone when he's trying (unsuccessfully) to drink the two gallons of lemonade.

Egg got the Pawns of the Loup Garou quote. Sorry if I upset old Robb K. by being so sneaky. Has there been any word of Jippes redrawing this tale? I always thought it had great eerie potential and would have been much better had Barks drawn the story himself.

"This little squirt sure has a lot of fruit baskets! He must be a big shot!" (which Barks story?)

Hi Witchie. Daan has already drawn "Pawns of The Loup Garou". He did an okay job, not as good as a lot of his Woodchuck efforts. But, then, Barks' sketches were not very good as compared to a lot of his other '69-72 scripts. It was published in the Dutch Weekly. But, I don't know if it has been published in USA. Perhaps because I've only recently read it in Dutch, not in English (at least since Strobl's version in 1969), those English text lines you quoted didn't click with me.

I'm not sure, but it could be Gladstone full of lemonade in [url=WDCS088]http://www.cbarks.dk/Digital/luc195001.jpg[url].
Donald and Gladstone make yearly bets that neither of them are able to carry through.

Um, sorry, Doctor Witchie, 24 minutes too late -(... My first guess was 'the tuckered tiger', in which Scrooge uses a steammachine to loose weight.

Ha! I know that one. 'Maharadjah Donald', a inspector looks at the nephews disguished as fruitbaskets and says the thing above.

Well, that's easy. It's... er... er...
Grunt. Egg begins to get a bit annoyed by these stupid Barks quizes. What a waste of time they suddenly are.

Stephan is quite right about Maharajah Donald. Thanks for the information on Pawns, Robb--it hasn't been published in the USA yet (Gladstone reprinted the Strobl-drawn version just before they shut down their comics, so maybe Gemstone feels it'd be redundant to print the Jippes version immediately).

And...Darn it! I'm not sure where the jumping jacksnipes or the fighting heart comes from!

Stephan is humiliating us in front of everyone to see. Revenge!
