That's right!  I forgot about those Barks shorts.  Some of my
absolute favorite Barks one-pagers!  ^_^

I also like the Yukon one where Scrooge is urging his dog sled
across the tundra, yelling "Mush!  Mush!"  Then he gets to the
nearest trading post and sees how expensive good food is.  He
ends up ordering the cheapest item on the menu--mush!  LOL!
