the Grand Canyon and Donald tries to get them out.
Comments: Although Donald by virtue of his greater
experience should be rescuing his nephews, the
tables are quickly turned; they have to get their
uncle out of the hot water! Barks wrote a similar
plot in WDCS228 14 years later -
and Donald had not grown any wiser...

dive he winds up inside a giant oyster. That
spells trouble!

out!

to prove to them that cavemen don't exist. He

has his nephews with him on his African venture,
and they manage to save him ... for the umpteenth
time!
