<"I see the eastbound bus from Duckburg is pulling in." Which
Barks story?>
Is it W WDC 221-01 ("Tracking Sandy"). The story where Donald and the nephews are following a JW general for his goldmine? When they've lost him in the desert, the nephews see the bus from Duckburg coming in. And one of the passenegers is Sandy (the general) in disguise.

No, sorry, I don't have any prints of published art. The only thing I make
prints of are things I've done for friends or special reasons that no one
would have seen anywhere, f'rinstance the comic cover parodies that I do for
occasions like the annual AACC banquet. About half of the prints are such
parodies of DC or Marvel or EC or other comic covers (with Ducks).
When I stopped doing drawings at American conventions and decided to see if
anyone would want prints of these cover parodies that I had keep copies of
in my files, I thought fans would go wild over them. They really *are*
pretty funny and I enjoy doing them and put a *lot* of work into them to
make them *exact* duplicates of the original cover layouts. But strangely,
while they attract lots of attention (since they make a very colorful
display of dozens of large full-color prints) not many people are interested
in having copies. And I think the reason is how the American market has
developed. I do these because I am a Barks fan *and* a collector of all
other old American comics. But I am one of the exceptions. I think the
American comic collectors recognize the famous old covers I'm parodying and
think they're funny... but they don't understand why Donald Duck is in the
scene. And generally speaking, the Duck/Barks fans recognize the Ducks, but
they don't recognize the classic old comic covers and therefore don't
understand the joke.

Dubious activities of Junior Woodchucks? (Barks quiz)

Indeed, it's panel 4.7. I would never have guessed this quote.
I find this story a bit strange. It seems to me that general Sandy is
using gold dust that belongs to Scrooge. That sounds like an *illegal*
activity to me.
Did Barks base this story on an existant real-life law, or something?
A law that makes it possible to collect material that someone else is
losing? That would seem to me like I can keep everything, as long as
it happens to fall onto my property, in this case a mine.
Even if there's such a law, I would expect an Junior Woodchuck officer
to be wiser than raising money in a dubious way. Wouldn't a honorable
Junior Woodchuck have felt obliged to find out where the gold dust is
coming from, and then honestly tell the owner about the leak? Instead,
this officer is secretly collecting the gold dust, using lots of tricks.
At the end of the story, Donald tells Daisy that the Junior Woodchuck
science hall has been built from Scrooge's money. This information
seems to suggest that Scrooge kept his promise of paying for the
science hall, as reward for learning more about Sandy's mine. And
maybe Scrooge gladly paid, because at the same time, he learns that he
is losing lots of gold dust through a leak.
But if this is what happened, it isn't really very obvious. I think
it's easy to conclude that the Junior Woodchuck science hall has been
paid with Scrooge gold dust *directly*, without telling Scrooge
anything about Sandy's "mine".
And, at least, this is exactly what would have happened if Scrooge
would *not* have promised a reward for finding Sandy's mine.
I'm very curious for comments.

For Daniel: The story containing "I see the Eastbound Bus from Duckburg is

unwittingly "donating some of his gold dust to pay for The Jr. Woodchucks' new

I'd say I like them all, but
these are the ones that I'd watch over and over:
1) The Masked Mallard - Scrooge as a costumed
superhero is a hoot, plus it's one of the few
times that he's saved the day by HIMSELF. Gizmo-
duck looks like a darn fool to me ever since I
first saw this one.
2) Duck to the Future - Probably for the same
reason as the one above in that Scrooge is at
center, and I love how the final fight with
Magica plays out at the end.
3) Launchpad's First Crash - An exciting adventure
with Scrooge and Launchpad, plus it's the story
of how they met.
4) Til' Nephews Do Us Part - I loved how they got
ALL the characters from season one to make cameos.
It's also a well done "comedy" episode.
5) Dime enough for luck - My introduction to
Gladstone Gander is also a great Magica vs.
Scrooge confrontation.
6) Raiders of The Lost Harp
7) Magica's Shadow War
8) Send in the Clones
9) Magica's Magic Mirror
10) The Unbreakable Bin
- Magica De Spell was a lot of fun. Too bad she
was ignored in the second season.
11) Attack of the Metal Mites - An episode I
liked from what I refer to as "Season 3." Since
it features Dijon the pickpocket, who I find
annoying. I liked Gyro's Gum Chewing machine -
a very "Barksian" approach to the problem of
metal-eatinf insects.
12) Ducky Horror Picture Show
13) Hotel Strangeduck
14) Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. McDuck
- these are great episodes to watch around
Halloween.
15) Treasure of the Golden Suns - the 5-part
"pilot" is excellant.
16) Spies in their eyes
17) All Ducks on Deck
- My favorites among the Donald Duck episodes.
In hindsight, I wonder if Gizmoduck was inspired
by Donald's Superhero disguise Phantom Duck?

"Tracking Sandy," WDC 221, page 4, panel 7. HD&L see the eastbound bus
arrive from Duckburg while eating ice cream at a desert town after they and
DD fail to track Dread Valley Sandy to his gold mine. They see a suspicious
dude get off the bus and from there single-handedly solve the mystery that
has eluded everyone.
One of the reasons I like this story so much is the great way Barks drew the
desert. To me, this was always typical California desert scenery,
supposedly near Death Valley.

I've bought a few of them the past couple of years. My favorite, one I have

I'm now finished with the 3. floor with the gem vaults, and I'm very pleased

wood, glued tiny tiny plastic pearls on it, and painted the pearls in right
gem-colour.
Still remaining: Book cases and bullions!!
I also have a question about the blueprints. In the postroom on the 5. floor

Finally, I want to say thanks for your positive response about the model! I
