Thank you for the link to those script outlines. I had never seen them before!

There are emoticons in your link because you haven't disabled smilies, Andrea.
That's an interesting bit of trivia, and I'd be interested to know why it never got more attention, given the way publishers these days trump up anything based on anything based on some random snippet of an idea that Barks maybe kinda sorta had some years ago. Still, given that it's not really technically a "script," and given that Barks didn't actually block out anything or do any sketches, I wouldn't have expected it to appear in any Libraries. If you relax the standards that much, you open the door to a LOT of extra material that probably doesn't belong.

Thanks GeoX.
Concerning the story, the CB scandinavian library printed also some other material "loosely" based on Barks script. We can get back to this.
This one is interesting to me since it really is the first one of the series. Two years following the last JW story, Captain Outrageous.
The other ones were drawn later on and this was simply forgotten.

Ah, no wonder it doesn't show up with the advanced search--it isn't listed as being written by Barks.

It may have been forgotten because, in its finished form, it is almost nothing like Barks' original??at least if the draft is anything to go by.
"Gyro invents a flying carpet for a tough lady and her spoiled little girl. There is the question of whether the carpet is safe."
That quick summary describes both Barks' story and the Vicar-drawn story, but apart from the basic concept, the two share almost nothing in common.
Albert Cosser's script is more like Barks' "Picnic" story: to make the carpet safer, Gyro adds walls, etc until he's basically got a plane; it's no longer a flying carpet in any true sense. Just as, in "Picnic," Gyro's picnicking solutions eventually involved building a kind of house, after which the picnic was no longer a picnic.
But that's very different from Barks' actual flying carpet idea.

In that case, it's surprising someone hasn't redone it in the years since--given all his other Barks revisions, you'd think Daan Jippes would've jumped at the chance.

...also, it's pretty funny that the girl is named "Jezebel." I don't suppose that was maintained in the published version?

I agree with you GeoX.
Jezebel was not maintained in the Brazilian and German version. I would not know in the other countries.
