FYI: TV came to Norway in 1960, but was available in the USA many years
before that. In the famous "Back to the Future" movie-trilogy from the
1980's it is well documented that TV exited in the USA back in 1955. IMO it
would be obvious that an enlightened man like Barks would have had TV a long
time before 1960 otherwise he couldn't have followed closely important
incidents like the Cuba crises, the murders of JFK, Marin Luther King and
RFK, and the moon-landing all during the 1960's. And no matter how bad Dell
may have paid him it's no reason to believe that Barks wouldn't afford to by
a TV.

Nice observation, though I do think there's a difference between
killing an animal on a distance, and killing a caught animal. From
a distance it's easier to miss, or to shoot on the wrong place, so
the animal can get wounded instead off killed. And if the wounded
animal gets away, it may get a horrible death.
The custard gun avoids this, although I don't know what cruelty
will happen if an escaped temporarily blinded animal gets attacked
by another animal...
However, I think that the custard gun is a way to be able to make
a Disney story about shooting animals. There's another such story,
Jungle Bungle (WDC 259), in which Donald uses arrows that don't kill
the animals. One type of arrows puts them asleep, and the other type
of arrows wakes them up.

It's very funny, indeed. I'm not very enthusiastic about the rest
of the story, though. There's too much discussing about what that
failing custard gun can do, and about what it cannot do. It takes
the pace out of the story, IMHO. The *main* reason for not being
enthusiastic about the story, could be that the story is badly
reproduced in The Netherlands, with hazy and muddy art. I just
checked the Carl Barks Library, and there the story looks *much*
better. It's a difference of day and night. So, maybe I'll change
my opinion after reading that version.

Reading this funny description already makes me much more enthusiastic
about the story.
Comparing the muddy Dutch version with the cleaner Carl Barks Library
version, learns me that the ending of the Dutch version is slightly
different.
Dialogue of the last panel the Carl Barks Library:
nephew 1: "THE SIDE OF A BARN?"
nephew 2: "And he MISSED?"
Donald: "Naturally! Have some more dressing, boys!"
In the Dutch translation, Donald says:
"He hit the woman next door! Have some more mash, boys!"
I find hitting the woman next door, a funnier gag. It hints at Gyro
getting into the same trouble as Donald had during the story.
Or am I overlooking a joke in the original dialogue? Does "dressing"
have a double meaning, for example? Or could the dressing be custard?
Last year I've had a Thanksgiving diner here in The Netherlands,
prepared by an American girl. I liked it very much, but I also found
it unimaginable sweet and mighty. So, I really wouldn't be surprised
if American people put custard over their turkeys. Can someone let
me know if that's the case?
I'm curious for comments.

"Dressing" is otherwise known as "stuffing", i.e., it is the stuff you put
inside a bird before roasting, and which you then serve as a side dish. If I
am not mistaken, the most popular poultry dressing in the US is bread-based,
i.e., it is simply pieces of bread mixed with seasonings. When cooked, it
turns into a kind of flavorful mash, which isn't sweet. In Greece, we use a
different kind of dressing, with rice, ground meat, and various kinds of fruit
and nuts. If you include the fruit (usually raisins, some also add prunes,
Beagle Boy fashion), then the Greek version can be sweet, but I doubt whether
Donald and the kids had this kind of dressing with their turkey!

... and here's yet another proof
============================================================
By the time I reached College age, I'd given up all hope of
flying like Superman, but I was never able to develop a
burning desire for an alternative occupation. When I was a
kid I read Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics. Uncle Scrooge
was always going off to exotic places in search of gold.
After Scrooge got the gold, he'd take it back to his money bin
and push his loose change around with a bulldozer.
Now this was my idea of a good job. Go on an adventure.
Bring back gold. Push it around with a bulldozer. How fun
is this? So you can possibly see the reason for my lack of
motivation to get grades. I mean, do you really need good
grades to drive a bulldozer?
============================================================

Just for the record, this comes from "Hard Eight", by Janet
Evanovich, eight chapter in the saga of Stephanie Plum, bounty
hunter extraordinaire, and a fun reading thoroughly.

DCML Vol 5-9 - Stuffing/Dressing
Message 87 -
2003-07-08 at 07:10:20
Hi Everyone,
A quick OT note for the gastronomes in the audience.
Stuffing, which is also known as dressing, is indeed a
side dish for turkey, be it for Thanksgiving or any
other time. Stuffing is normally bread-based and
mixed with varying spices, but it has an infinite
number of varieties and most families who serve it
will have their favorites. The consistancy can range
from a mix of identifiable ingredients to an almost
pudding-like blend. My mom's included bite-sized
bread cubes moistened with chicken broth and melted
butter, with minced carrot, celery, and onion, and
seasoned with sage, parsley, salt and pepper. Some
other recipes I've heard of include oysters or dried
cranberries. Outside of the dried cranberries, I am
not aware of dressing being overly sweet. Hope this
helps with this tasty holiday tradition.
Culinarily yours,
Chuck Munson

will have their favorites. The consistancy can range
from a mix of identifiable ingredients to an almost
pudding-like blend. My mom's included bite-sized
bread cubes moistened with chicken broth and melted
butter, with minced carrot, celery, and onion, and
seasoned with sage, parsley, salt and pepper. Some
other recipes I've heard of include oysters or dried
cranberries. Outside of the dried cranberries, I am
not aware of dressing being overly sweet. Hope this
helps with this tasty holiday tradition.

And it reminds me of an (off topic) Laurel & Hardy short, where
the guys are hired as waiters in an elegant house, and at the end
of the dinner Stan is requested to serve an undressed salad...
obviously he misunderstand it and comes to serve the salad
wearing only his ... er.... I don't remember the correct English
word... just like Super Goof, you know!
For years this gag wasn't properly trasnslated in Italian (also
because there isn't a way to do it), and it just seemed me a
stupid thing to do...

Brilliant! I tried it, and it works! Thanks to Olivier and Francesco for
helping me out.
And thanks to Timo Ronkainen for posting the URL. It's interesting
hearing Gottfredson himself talk about his work. And now I know how to
pronounce "Taliaferro"... :-)

Why only Donald? I think it's interesting to search for all Barks's
geiger counter stories. Here are some of them.
WDC 191 uranium buttons
US 55 lost watch
D/D 2001-004 From Dime to Dime (not mentioned in Barks's idea, though)
JW 13 Gold of the '49ers
And apart from these rather radio-active stories, there are also stories
with witching sticks, which are used as old-fashioned geiger counters.
>> "Tch! Tch! Maybe the next one will drop in my hand!"

Sigh. Yes, you're right. It's "The Dream Planet" (OS 1025).
I hoped that people would think that I was referring to Gladstone,
making this a difficult quote. Hopefully, one day I'll find such a
horribly hidden quote that I can auction the solution at Ebay. :-)
> They just lie under trees, waiting for fruits to drop in their laps--

Just like my quote dropped in your lap, eh? :-)
> An apple falls in Gus' hand-- "Begiunner's luck!" (if I remember

Indeed. (Spelling mistakes not included.)
> Great story.
I like it, too. That dream planet is a nice object for giving a very fast
visual overview of the history of civilization as we know it.
