Here is the new Barks quiz :
In for example WDC&S 102, which I happened to have within reach now, and many other WDC&S comic books there is often a little Barks Duck drawing in beginning of several the comic book versions of the Donald Duck dailies, obviously put there by the WDC&S staff.
Please identify and give me the (INDUCKS stated) page number of WDC&S 102 and define if it is placed top or bottom (as there usually are two daily strips on one WDC&S page) where you find - as many examples as possible - of such a Barks drawing but do so ONLY if you also have an answer to WHICH ORIGINAL Barks story it came from. Since the actual WDC&S was published in March 1949, the sought Barks originals must be that old or older - isn`t that so Watson ? :-)
If you do not have this comic book, you still could have som help from http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us%2FWDC+102
Otherwise accept your handicap !

I know I'm not supposed to ask a question now, but here's an interesting bit of trivia. I was browsing on the Paleofuture blog (it's about what people in the past thought the future would look like) and found this. Easy question: what story does this make you think of?

So, it seems that Carl MAY have had the inspiration for his 1953 spherical rolling Money Bin from an article he read in a popular science magazine in 1934. He DID say that he read "Popular Science", and got some of his scientific-related ideas and cursory knowledge from that. The article with the rolling spherical houses was not published in "Popular Science". But, it MAY have been seen by Barks, nevertheless. Very interesting.

Also the Uncle Scrooge story Tricky Experiment from US 39 with another spherical money bin could have been insprired by that article. In this case the money bin was actually also supposed to roll.
------------------
My earlier question maybe is a little bit tough without searching through older Barks comics. I think there are 7 such Barks small drawings (3 of the other Donald drawings also are fairly Barks-like but probably not by Barks but by Taliaferro) in WDC&S 102, but I do not remember myself exactly which originals they are from and I have not bothered yet to check the correct answers. I remember though having seen most or all of them when reading older Barks comics.
Some newer examples of the same kind by the way originated from DD 291 The Magic Hourglass if I remember correctly where from both Donald and nephew drawings appear in later WDC&S reprints of Taliaferro Donald strips.

Barks borrowed themes and ideas from himself several times in the late 1950´s and some years more.
But which long story (other than US 68) by Barks had a special theme which was obviously borrowed from Donald Duck in A Christmas for Shacktown ?
I just read the story for the umpteen time but strangely enough it was the first time realized the clear similarities.

Could that be "Land Beneath the Ground?" Both tales feature an underground cavern located beneath Scrooge's Money Bin.

It was not what I was thinking about, and by ruling out US 68 I should have ruled out the Terries and Fermies story as well.
So it is another story and another theme I was referring to !
A clue is that is a U.S. story between the here mentioned US 13 and US 68 :-)

Hmm... "The Golden River" maybe?
In both stories Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie ask Scrooge for a specific amount of money. Donald, interestingly, manages to trick Scrooge into giving him money, but loses them afterwards under strange circumstances...

Yes, that is exactly what I had in mind. Funny that I never thought of that angle before until a few days ago.

Okay, THIS is ancient history, but some of you may remember when we were trying to find as many Barksian duck relatives as possible that don't appear in Rosa's family tree. We were terrifyingly thorough, but I just found one that we missed. In this early ten-pager generally known as "Lifeguard Daze," HDL enlist the help of one Minnie Mudhen to pretend to be drowning so Donald can save her. There's no indication in THIS story that she's part of the family, BUT if we assume that she's in some way related to the infamous Mehitabel Mudhen--and why the heck wouldn't we--well, there you go! Pwned!
Okay, as you were.

Yeah, I remember that character but I haven't heard of Mehitabel Mudhen, she doesn't appear in the Inducks, but yes it's likely she is related to Mehitabel as they share the same lastname. But perhaps 'Mudhen' is a common lastname in the Duck universe so it isn't necessary that they are, but I would think so in this case anyway - just to make it interesting.

Mehitabel is mentioned in this story, notable for featuring the most blood-curdling racial caricature in all of Barks.

I will not add Mehitabel Mudhen to the appearances list. It is possible to list one-time appearances exceptionally, when the character if of special importance. However only characters that are *drawn* can be considered real "appearances" (acc. to our rules) which is not the case here.

Hey, I never would've expected you to. The thing would get absurdly unwieldy if you included everyone who'e ever even *mentioned.*

Sure. My comment did not express what I really meant to say (I really don't spend enough time re reading what I write). I was trying to explain why the mentioned character was not in Inducks. I knew you didn't ask for it. But otherwise I try to include every Duck family member (eg from Barks or Strobl stories).
