To make up for that, and help them survive, he uses up his extra fuel to pull a rope across the chasm between the moon and planet, so the Indians can "walk" across to the lush planet.
Indeed. US 28. Nice description. This is one of the Barks stories where stingy Scrooge shows his warm side. I like the scene where Donald regrets having used a gun, which has scared the birds away.

Don't you forget Al Hubbard and Ramon Bernado? They make stories with Scamp, Big Bad Wolf, Dombo, Madam Mim a pleasure to read. Barks-like. Professional people who know what they're doing.

Why does Don Rosa mention it then?
Don Rosa, date unknown:
"C’mon, now! You’re a big boy, right?! $crooge and Goldie alone together in a remote Yukon cabin during a long, cold and snowy winter? What do you think would happen?"

Destroying Rosa's image?
Don Rosa on DCML, 5 August 2005, about his fiasco "A Letter From Home":
And thanks for all your kind words about that story! (But I still thought it was sorta on the lame side as regards humor and action -- the story *I* like is the one I finally sent in last week, "The Prisoner of White Agony Creek". But I expect many or most readers will think *that's* the one that's sorta lame.) (And there will be *more* obvious opportunities for "discretionary decisions" in a few scenes in that one. Like when the snow melts off the cabin roof. Ooooh, baby! But I tells 'em like I sees 'em.)

Why poor? Grandpa Jansen has found Barks!

That’s ‘Black Wednesday’. The ‘stuff’ is hair-growingjuice.
Indeed. WDC 230

Egg still locked up in shell, looking at plaster night.
Stephan wrote:Egg wrote:Great Pop Up is the Gyro-story with the breadrooster. Bread on the moon. Know it?
I know that story, very short, right? It was funny, but I wouldn’t call it my favourite. I like the longer stories.
Aha. You like the longer stories. Can you give examples?
Stephan wrote:Egg wrote:What about the one with the birdthoughts?
Birdthoughts? Weren’t it catthoughts? You mean that story in which Gyro invents a machine which he uses to understand what cats are saying?
Catthoughts is US 15.
Birdthoughts is US 22.
A fresh, new quote:
"I don't live right! I wouldn't help my nephews get a playground simply because *I* was always too stingy to play!"
(which story)
