Front cover
Pages: 1Comments:
This is purely a gag cover with no bearing on the main story inside.

gold at its end. Scrooge smilingly agrees only to discover that it ends at
his Money Bin.Comments:
Barks made a few tales featuring the popular theme of what lies

more HERE).

Pages: 1

animals. Scrooge then rolls up his sleeve and treats a group a trained
fleas to a personal refreshment.Comments:
Barks' stories offer numerous examples of Scrooge's outstanding stinginess, but
this is the only story in which he is freely giving some of himself...
