Additional credits:
The pencil art is simply dated "June". The art has been sketched quickly in
blue on tissue paper. Barks submitted it to Western Publishing, but for some
reason the idea was not used. The rejected sketch remained in Barks's files
for twenty years, until he completed it in black pencil at the request of a
fan. In 1982, Stephen Eberhart sent Volker Reiche a photocopy of the sketch,
and Reiche responded with an inked rendition.
Status:
Information in The Carl Barks Library - Set IX suggests that Barks's sketch has
survived.
Questions:
Has the original sketch been published? Do you have a xerox of it, or do you
have the original sketch itself?

- Inducks description: Officer for a Day
- Finished version, by others: HC DD1997-11 law book and disorder
Additional credits:
The illustrated story's title is included in the preliminary lettering.
Western Publishing rejected this design because of its violence.
Backstage:
The cover depicts crime and violence running rampant when Donald becomes a
substitute policeman: the Purgatory Cherubs motorcycle gang is fighting the
Beagle Boys while a flying saucer absconds with the loot. As usual, Donald is
comically ineffectual, so hamstrung by legal technicalities that he is unable
to stop the lawbreakers. Like many of Barks' narrative covers, this one
illustrates the story without actually depicting any one scene from it:
several disasters are compressed into a single event, thereby intensifying
the catastrophe and Donald's ineptness in controlling it.
Publications:
- The Carl Barks Library - Set II (USA)
- monochrome
Questions:
Barrier mentions: "A rejected sketch
for this cover shows Donald in battle with the
Purgatory Cherubs." This description doesn't match with the design of
Donald doing nothing but looking puzzled in a law book, while there's a
lot of violence on the background. Is there a possibility that Barrier
means another design than this one?

Additional credits:
Identified as a quickly traced cover concept rough. Contains a non-Barks
hand-written text, which reads "To Timmie Robinson". Coloured with gouache
or permanent dyes.
The non-Barks hand-written text appears to be written by Laura Waggoner,
Timmy Robinson's late grandmother, who had moved to Van Nuys. She visited
the Robinson household almost every weekend in 1953, and it's known that
she often misspelled Timmy's name as "Timmie".
Scrooge, Donald and the nephews are frightened by a pirate jack-in-the-box
popping out of a treasure chest.
Significant differences with pirate jack-in-the-box
are the knife in the pirate head's mouth; Scrooge's looking frightened
instead of surprised; and the decoration on the spring and around the
head's neck.
Owners, past and present:
Presented to Timmy Robinson as payment for services rendered. Barks lived
as a guest at the Robinson family ranch
near Hemmett, Riverside California, in 1953.
The drawing is housed in its original frame, which bears the seal of the
original framing service. The drawing is in excellent condition, with minimal
fading, though the paper has yellowed a little in 44 years.
Publications:
- Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge No. 312 (Series II) (USA)

Questions:
Has this material been published?
Does the pencil note really say "Mar 25 1955 office"? (Transcription of
this note was made by judging from the scan, and might be misread.)
The seller ("timetrapper") at Ebay mentioned: "used as cover for uncle
scrooge number 39. was office file copy." The seller also included
a picture of the comic, but did not give an explanation if the pencil art
and the comic belong together. Do you know more about the history behind
the surviving of this pencil art and/or the comic?

Scrooge holds six cups while a monkey is grinding his organ.
Backstage:
It is not known why the editors rejected the design as it is typical of
the gag covers Western was using at the time. In a June 24, 1984 interview,
Barks was asked if he remembered doing the drawing. He said: "It was just
one of a series of misfired ideas that I sent to Western. It's like
Garé said: I was a damned fool.
I would send in ten or fifteen ideas and then they would accept one. She
said, 'Why not just send in one idea?' So I did that and they accepted it."
Publications:
- The Carl Barks Library - Set III (USA)

Interviews:
Questions:
Barks recollection of doing this drawing doesn't seem to fit with the
making of "six cups".
Maybe Barks was thinking of other work than this particular drawing?

Additional credits:
Alternate cover design, reportedly titled "Which Face Is Witch?" It
surfaced briefly when Carl Barks visited Sweden in 1994. The owner
obtained it in the 1960s or 1970s and he wanted to show it to Barks.
On 9 February 2001, witness Joakim Gunnarsson described this "very clean and
well drawn" version: "I remember it as having US to the left in the picture
looking at a dog?, cat? or both, with the face of Magica. In the background
there was a wooden fence with possibly a bird with Magicas face on it. To
the right behind the fence (Or around the corner.) we, but not Scrooge sees
Magica with her spray."
A surprised Scrooge (with Magica's face instead of his own?) looks at
animals meeting/swapping faces. Magica looks through a hole in the fence,
ready to spray Scrooge.
Publications:
-
No publication is known. It seems that the owner (Reimers?) doesn't want
this version being reproduced.

Has this material been published?

The promotional text on the design reads:
Uncle Scrooge
battles the

I DON'T REMEMBER ME!

Scrooge lets loose his gun while being buzzed by the Brutopian consul, who
holds the little black box.
