Glad to hear it. Greatly looking forward to another Romano Scarpa Scrooge story though I am curious as to what era of Scarpa it's from as early to mid Scarpas seem to be the best ones.
Also diggin' that Neighbor Jones cover.

It's not a late Scarpa story, if that's what you're worried about.

This was from 1962, I believe. I much prefer Scarpa's drawing style of the late 50s through the 60s as compared to the much latter Scarpa style when he started drawing distorted, stretched out bodies! The interesting thing is that he was drawing heads abnormally big early on (as in this story) and by decades later his heads became disproportionately way small! The story itself, "Taking the Plunge," I felt was rather uninteresting. The drawing was fine but the story itself seemed like a long gag that was not funny at all and really did not hold much of my attention...
