Does anyone know why there are not so much Thanksgiving stories from Disney? A search at IDUCKS finds only 4 stories.
I know, it's an US holiday only, but there are similar holidays in other countries, like Erntedankfest in Germany. And it's the second important holiday in the US!
BTW: Happy Thanksgiving ;)

I know three Barks stories about Thanksgiving:
Turkey Trouble(part of the search list)
Turkey Trouble(not in the list)
The Terrible Turkey(not in the list)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Didn't the seasonal Disney Comics era books have a couple of turkey day stories in them? The reason they aren't numerous probably has to do with Thanksgiving being more of an American thing than a round the world thing. Centralized holiday. I doubt we'd see an over abundance of Bastille Day or Golden Week stories to flip the coin around a bit. :)

When Barks's "Houseboat Holiday" was published in Germany the first time in the early fifties, the turkey that is the bet between Donald and his neighbour and which Donald gives to him at the end of the story was re-drawn in a cornucopia ("Füllhorn") with food, since a turkey was a rather unusual element of the kitchen here in that time (and still is, after all).

Actually I have my doubts that a "Füllhorn" was more usual in the kitchen in those days ... :)

There have always been not too few stories from Italy where the Ducks has to do with specifical Italian events. Those weren't the worst, sometimes; the stories, I mean.

Quote from user: Lars JensenA story about the German Erntedankfest or the Danish Fastelavn might be useless in Poland or China... so why make those stories when you're creating stories for a world market?
Yep. But I doubt Western Publishing cared much about the world market in their days.

There was a Donald Duck Thanksgiving story in Walt Disney's Autumn Adventures #2 titled Good Neighbor Thanksgiving. There is also a Grandma Duck story titled Flaming Plum Pudding in that same issue. Both of those stories were originally printed in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #147. Strangely enough I have the aforementioned Grandma Duck story in Donald and Mickey #27 and The Adventurous Uncle Scrooge McDuck #2 as well.
