Quote from user: Dutch Duckfan Down UnderQuote from user: Roger NorthYou got it wrong the first time Dutch Duckman but you got it right the second time. Sim you also got it right except that you got two of the words switched around.
First: it's Duckfan, not Duckman. Easy to remember: Barks is the Duckman, and I'm just a Duckfan. Anyway, I think because Sim knew the story (he only got the title spelled wrong), he should do the next one.
Well, if it is my turn:
"It's time you landlubbers learned that a fathom isn't an inch - it's six feet!"

Scrooge mentions his 75th birthday in the story known as Watt an Occasion. I have that story in Uncle Scrooge #275.

I know THAT one! It's from one of my favorite Barks stories, The Horseradish* Story!
*Horseradish isn't an instrument. Mayonnaise isn't an instrument either.

I think that last line might be from The Horseradish Story. Here's a line Those rocks you are carrying are probably Hen Fruit.

It's from "Lost in the Andes" - allthough it's not "probably" but "really"

I guess I'm right, so here comes:
"A sharp curve ahead!
Oil on the road, and my brakes are shot!"
This is from one of the stories that I had to buy in the States - 'cause it wasn't originally published in Denmark, for reasons I still can't see!
Guess the editor just neglected it !?

That line is from the nightmares story, the one with the crocheted doilies in which Donald winds up sleeping in the lion's cage. Donald utters the quote in question when he's dreaming he's about to go over a cliff in his car.

Correct, Gyro - and now for the trick question: Can YOU tell me why the danish editor wouldn't print it?
It isn't all that nightmarish, is it?
But again, he probably just neglected it...

Hmm, after all Donald is virtually killed several times in horrible ways in his nightmares. I could imagine that some tender-hearted editor would have the opinion that that was not the right thing for a children magazine.
In Barks' original "Voodoo Hoodoo" the editor erased the word "death" everywhere--but had no problem with all the deadness and skeleton stuff in "The Old Castle's Secret". No one says the censorship mace falls down in a system that was logical and comprehensible ...

Hey, I got this one right, so shouldn't I do the new line? I'll think of something tomorrow.

IMHO, "The Old Castle's Secret" is obviously censored in its first edition.
At Page 20, Pic 7, "Sir Quackly got him!!!!!" doesn't fit the voice balloon, doesn't sound like Barks' tone (all those exclamation points?), and resembles Carl Buettner's lettering.
At Page 23, Pic 5, "Cemetery" is in Buettner's hand. In Pic 6, "It's the McDuck's [sic] old burial grounds!" is in Buettner's hand and contains a textual error ("McDuck's" for "McDucks'") that doesn't seem Barksian either. Seems like the editor wanted to avoid saying "graveyard," "grave," "tomb" and the like.
At Page 24, Pic 1, "marker" is in Buettner's hand. In Pic 2, "why is this" is in Buettner's hand, and in Pic 6 "marker" is in Buettner's hand. Interestingly, in Pic 5, an original Barks use of "grave" slipped past and survived.
At Page 29, Pic 2, the first three letters of "colder" are not in Barks' hand (though I can't say if it's Buettner's). Seems to me "deader" was the original word ("deader than a mackerel" is an old expression).
