There's also WDC 221 and one or two other Junior Woodchucks stories.
Arild, if you've got an interesting question, just go ahead. Otherwise I'll ask one tomorrow.

I wonder why Barks used those "preview" splash panels so often in his later stories. Perhaps it was due to Western's habits of trimming his stories for advertising space; they sacrificed the splash panel in Mythic Mystery to an ad, I know. Putting the splash panel on the opening page might have been his way of ensuring it wouldn't be cut--but, of course, he wanted to use the bigger panel to best advantage and have it illustrate one of the story's dramatic moments--hence the preview or in media res openings. Just a theory.

A couple of questions ago we mentioned Joe from Singapore.
But there is another parrot as well who has been to Singapore. There he saved a sailors life.
The parrot is..?

Leaving off the JW stories, we have: the five Uncle Scrooge stories 55-59 plus King Scrooge the First and Pawns of the Loup Garou, all of which start with a "preview" splash panel; and eight frame stories: Omelet 146, Daffy Taffy 175, Senator Snoggin's stone face 204, Weemite 220, Tracking Sandy 221, the Dogcatcher story from DD 45, The Fantastic River Race and That's No Fable! Of the frame stories, as far as I can check, only two have the frame story breaking in during the telling of the main story: That's No Fable, where the frame story breaks in twice before the end, and the Daffy Taffy story, where the psychiatrist frame story breaks in three times before the end! (I'm not counting stories where the frame story is alluded to by the narrator's speech in the commentary box, whatever you call that [what *do* you call that?].)

He is Yellow Beak from Donald Duck One-shot 9 as here shown by artist Jack Hannah

Here is another question :
Barks sometimes more or less borrowed and redrew his older stories, but two One-shots drawn by Barks also clearly have inspired (at least) one or two other (unknown) story writers whose scripts were illustrated by others and very productive Disney artists in two different comic books.
Which are the One-shots by Barks I refer to, which are the other comic books and who are the productive artists to fit this description ?
( I do not count stories like the Phil DeLara-illustrated Vic Lockman script from Donald Duck 42 that you may argue could be associated with D.D. 189 The Old Castle´s Secret, but more obvious "stealing" from Barks )

"The Gilded Man" was remade as a Mickey Mouse story, drawn by Paul Murry.

Correct, that was one of the two I had in mind.

The "Pirate Gold" story that was drawn by Barks and Jack Hannah was later drawn as a giveaway story by Hannah alone. But for all I know the Hannah version simply could have been based on the same movie script as the Barks/Hannah version... and therefore not necessarily have been a remake of the Barks/Hannah story. And Hannah wasn't really a "very productive" Disney artist.
So this probably isn't what you have in mind...

This one borrows heavily from "Letter to Santa", if I remember correctly, but the authors are known:

You are right, I thought of some other One-shot...

Aha, I am really not well educated on Disney comics produced after, say 1970, nor non-USA-produced (which I therefore from now a bit late postulate are excluded from my actual question ! ) and since it, as you correctly stated, did not fit the description in the respect of the author it was not the other Barks One-shot I had in my mind.
The remaining story has an obvious ressemblance in some respects, both artwise and storywise, and is a Duck story in this case...
There may be others that I could have overlooked since I have not gone through every One-shot and excluded other possible solutions to the question, but the other one is for me obvious now although I actually recognized the borrowing for the first time only a few years ago reading the "missing" story. It was decades after I read it and the Barks story for the first respective times.
Obvously I did not discover the ressemblance the first time I read the Barks story around 1972-1973, in spite of having read the other one some 10 years before that ( the first time) when I was quite young.

How about a hint about the artist? You said "very productive". Strobl?

Your assumption was right - Strobl it is :-)
I could add that the borrowing is less pronounced than in the Murry case but nevertheless quite obvious in some respects.
