I reply:
The answer is yes. Barks referred to the sisters as
Chickadees in his story "Whale of a Good Deed," in
which the Jr. Woodchucks rescue a whale from Uncle
Scrooge's clutches following a great flood (HD&L Jr.
Woodchucks #7). I don't know off hand if Barks made
any other such inclusions. I do know that a number of
non-Barks stories exist in which April, May, and June
play the role of "primary" Chickadees, just as Huey,
Dewey, and Louie are always the focus of Jr. Woodchuck
stories. If memory serves me right, these stories are
found almost entirely in the HDL Jr. Woodchucks
series. WDCS and others may have had a couple as well.
I don't know who the authors/artists are, and as I
don't have any issues on hand to check, I seem to
think they were often Vic Lockman and Tony Strobl, but
I might be completely off base here. I haven't figured
out a way yet to search INDUCKS for this information,
but perhaps there's a way.
Regards,
Robert

AND I RESPOND:
I'm tickled to hear that Bucky is making a reappearance soon, Don. I share
your enthusiasm for variety in the Disney comics, including Bucky and Li'l
Bad Wolf.
My family had very little money when I was young, and even at a dime comics
were rare purchases and highly treasured. Until I was 12 (and began earning
my own cash) I owned precisely 4 Disney issues handed down from my older
brothers. Li'l Wolf and Bucky Bug stories were there among the Ducks and
Mickey tales (Barks and Murry, respectively), and I held every one dear.
As I got older the Ducks held my interest more strongly, but I always
remembered how special the other characters were when my tiny collection was
just getting started. Today there are too many mass entertainment venues,
so "Hey Kids! Comics!" can probably never again be the special rallying call
it was when I was small. But I hope *all* the Disney comic characters have
many years ahead of them.

I guess you mean the 1960s Bad Wolf stories by Toonder Studio. Was artist
Piet Wijn working there? (Known from "Douwe Dabbert".)
For me the Toonder Studio are Dutch Wolf stories that are really exciting,
if only for the Toonderish art. What I like a lot is the good ladies club,
with one sheephead-lady playing organ. (Juffrouw Schaapkens.) I think these
Dutch stories are an addition to the American Wolf stories (WDC etc.).
Toonder Studio has also made Hiawatha-stories which showed an indian village
with secondary characters. For example, a medicine man who's always wearing
a mask. And a woman beating up her husband with a tennis racket, so that the
man always wears bandage around his head

Thanks, Robert. Since we haven't got "Whale of a Good Deed" redrawn by
Jippes yet, I didn't realize Barks himself had enrolled AM&J in the
Chickadees. (AM&J don't show up among the Chickadees in either Maple Sugar
Time or Eagle Savers.) I just today went through all the HDLJWs in INDUCKS
and looked for AM&J/Chickadees in the characters list; there's probably a
quicker way on an advanced search, but I was curious to see what percentage
of the HDLJW comics had stories featuring the girls. Kai Saarto also told me
about a battle-of-the-sexes story with JWs vs. Chickadees (incl. AM&J) in MM
124.

I was just checking on that. "Return to Bear Mountain" is the title seen
on cover of that DDA issue, however INDUCKS lists story as "Crazy
Christmas on Bear Mountain". Can someone confirm which it is? I'd
rather trust the name on the cover, but perhaps its more of an
advertisement than than the actual title?

Nevermind my question, I think I figured it out after I managed to
scroll INDUCKS page all the way down...
DDA version is indeed named "Return to Bear Mountain", but original
Egmont title is "Crazy Christmas on Bear Mountain". Not so much
different than changing the title while translating the story to
different language.

No, as far as I know the "eye for detail" idea originated decades later
in Don Rosa's story "An Eye for Detail" (which you mention further up

Just search for both Chickadees and AMJ (April May and June) in the

gives 4 Brazilian stories, one Danish and Studio-program story, and one
