Shouldn't that be corn - that pops to popcorn ?
In Volcano Valley...
Och välkommen till Runner!
Nej! Det war ikke Jultid!
Vocano Valley had nothing to do with The Christmas holiday.

Quote from user: RunnerQuestion number 12 :
In Sweden one of my really childhood favorites before I could read was the first Barks 10-pager in the Swedish Walt Disneys Serier number 13 from 1956. Sometimes the swedish publication date was just shortly after the USA publication.
Therefore, and since the question also reads "What was interesting about Huey, Dewey and Louie's condition?" which implies there was something special with the triplets, I deduce that it could be my old favorite in which the nephews refuse to wash their dirt off after playing partly since they found it healthy. I think this appealed to me when I was 5-6 years old and my mother had to read this story over and over for me. They lose at last though and they all celebrate christmas at home, but with whom ? Either Daisy or Grandma, but I think she congratulates Donald and/or asks how he manage to keep his nephews so clean. My guess is it was Grandma.
I ought to be able to do a little simple arithmatics to find out which issue of the (assumed always) monthly WDC&S contained this story. The problem though is that I have no 100 % certain "reference" stored in my memory. The first Barks 10-pager in WDC&S 31 (Victory Garden) could have been an october release, or am I mixing up with the october 1940 WDC&S 1 :) . Hmm, the latter should be correct and therefore number 31 should have been an april release which seems familiar. Thus the dec 1943 issue was number 39, which I recall could have a snowy cover motif, probably a Kelly cover.
So the dec 1956 issue should be number 13x12 + 39 = 195. The front cover, if I remember correctly, is the same as of the swedish comic book i e a Strobl cover with Donald on a red back ground.
Välkommen Runner! Walt Disney's Comics & Stories 195 had a Paul Murray cover.

Yes Robb, I have seen that cover after I tried to answer - at least it was red :) and I also realized that the "dirt" story was published in the January 1956 issue, so my whole deduction was in vain...
But I have not cheated yet and looked for the correct answer in my collection or on INDUCKS. Maybe another try later ?

You maybe already know about it but I think you might be interested in knowing that Joakim Gunnarsson just posted on his blog color pictures from Bill Peckmann of the first part of Barks' JW story "When There's Smoke". Very nice scans. First time on line. You should see them.
One of previous Barks' post of Joakim was interesting as well. http://sekvenskonst.blogspot.com/2010/08/these.html
He send us to the pages of Peter Kyllings describing a new plot from Carl Barks later written/drawn by Cosser/Vicar - The Flying Carpet. INDUCKS code is D3360
