It does not. It's mostly Donald and his nephews.


"To get mad, or not get mad-- that is the question!", followed by "It is no longer a question!"

Hint # 1:
"Poor, ignorant Unca' Donald!"

Hint # 2:
"I dread to hear the phone ring! It'll be either the emergency hospital, or the coroner!"


Incidentally, going through this story gave me the answer to one of Robb's "geography" questions.

Well, you didn't post the answer to THAT question. I looked over the 4 stories from which you answered my geography questions, and none of those stories are the story you give your hints to. So, please give the answer to my additional question as your next clue.

Oh no, it is from another story, indeed. What I meant was that I now could answer one of your questions, but it would not be fair since I did not remember not deduce the answer, but found it by chance.

One more clue (not a quotation): that's quite a way of crashing a party.

It's the story about Donald as greatest kite maker of all time. (WDC 68)

Yes! That was a great way to crash that party (dropping in on them from his kite)!

Olivier: Please feel free to answer the question that you came across by accident. It seems that no one else here can answer it.

Okay; done!


Egg's quotation sounds like something we ought to identify immediately, but even the first hint does not ring a bell.
