Personally, I really don't care for Jippes's drawings, I find them to
be too bland and rough, more like a sketch than a finished drawing.
To me it's puzzling that they've chosen him to draw these unreleased Barks
stories, when there are so many other talents available.
But I understand now that people are pleased with the efforts, so I guess
it's allright then. I shan't be the one to complain the highest either, as
most
of those stories haven't been very interesting either.
"'Hound Of The Moaning Hills" wasn't so bad though, but I found it difficult
to enjoy the story due to the art, same with the story about Donald as a
policeman during both alien and biker invasion.

Could it be the one where Donald & Daisy are on a picnic and the nephews
are trying to sabotage? Probably not, but until further hints, this is my
guess.
