The nephews are trying their best to make a sucker out of Donald on April Fools' Day but they are not successful.
Comments: The nephews launch several clever plots against Donald who never notices them. In the end he even comments that they did not attempt to fool him!

On April Fools' Day Donald reads a book about black wishing stones on a tropical island and the nephews make fun of him for believing the story. But soon after they are all on their way...
Comments: The nephews' plot backfires in a big way, because Donald sells the house to make the trip. And again he never notices the nephews' involvement.

Donald wants to be grand marshal for the Easter Parade. He has to distribute sweets to the children to get them to vote for him.
Comments: Barks only made one story about Easter celebrations. Surprising, really, because this very holiday offers so many useful ingredients for a good story.

TRICK OR TREAT
The nephews are collecting goodies for Halloween but Donald has decided to tease them. A real witch joins in to fight the battle against the stingy uncle...
Comments: The story originates from a Jack Hannah produced Donald Duck animated short by the same name - and from the same year. Barks was asked to make a comic book version. At the time, the cartoon was not finished and Barks had only some of the storyboard sketches for reference material. Realizing that the cartoon could not fill a normal 32-pager, he altered the story to such a degree that it can be said to be mostly his creation. One of the innovations is the monster Smorgasbord. Barks did not see the original animated short until several years later.

Donald is stage struck and he is offered the leading role in Daisy's Halloween drama. Unfortunately, Gladstone is interested in the very same part...
Comments: Barks recycled the plot from the 1951 10-pager WDCS128 which took place during the summertime.

JET WITCH
The Duckburgians decide to hold a quiet Halloween this year but Donald doesn't hear of the plan and makes it the worst Halloween Duckburg has ever seen...
Comments: When the story was first published in Denmark, Halloween was not commonly known as a holiday. So the publisher Egmont decided to use the European holiday Shrovetide - which also incorporates some Trick and Treating - instead. However, this festive event takes place during the daytime. This forced Egmont to change all the nighttime panels into daytime panels!

As a New Year's resolution the nephews vow that they will not be late for school again or they will wash the dishes for a month. Donald in turn vows that he will not loose his temper!!!
Comments: This story represents one of the very rare occasions in which the nephews are not just seen as one organism. Here Louie takes a prominent part.

Time for New Year's resolutions. Donald resolves to cook only the kind of food his nephews like. The nephews resolve to eat only the kind of food their uncle likes. Collision course...
Comments: Barks managed to create a masterly plot in which the ducks were supposed not to know of each others' vows. And, this is yet another rare occasion; Dewey takes the lead this time.

The nephews win a live turkey for Thanksgiving but they get too attached to it to eat it. So Donald has to find another turkey for dinner...
Comments: In one panel the nephews are actually singing 'Jingle Bells', but Thanksgiving is the event!

Donald cannot afford a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner from the butcher's and he decides to hunt for one instead. And he succeeds - more or less...
Comments: The only story in which Barks is showing a little bit of the background for the holiday; Donald is talking about the pilgrims and he is wearing the typical settler costume while hunting with an ancient gun.

Comments: Barks was really in a 'fowl' mood in this story which he filled with lots of turkeys.

Comments: In this story Barks is not romantic at all. Poor Donald is losing on all fronts.

Comments: No romance in this one, either. No surprise - Magica is never lovable!
