A Guidebook to the Carl Barks Universe (test)

Changes: Possibly, this half page gag has been cut from a full page. As published in The Carl Barks Library - Set II, the borders of the panels look interrupted. At least, it seems that the bottom of the first tier, and the top of the second tier have been added.

Status: If changed, no cut art is known to have surfaced.

Questions: What material fills out the comic book page?
Could this gag originally have been one of three unidentified /disappeared Uncle Scrooge gags submitted on October 1, 1958?

Barrier erroneously attributes the cover art to non-Barks story "The Golden Galleon".

Additional credits: "Ambush at Thunder Mountain" is a 14-page Donald Duck story written by Vic Lockman, penciled by Tony Strobl, and inked by an unknown artist. (Inducks: W DD 106-02)

Changes: In Barks's original drawing for this cover (a pencil layout still exists), the nephew in the foreground appeared to be bouncing up and down on the drum with his bottom, instead of his feet. In the cover as published, a drawing of the nephew by another artist has been substituted for Barks's drawing. The nephew appears to be bouncing on the drum with his feet in the substituted drawing.

Changes: Barks's layout hasn't been followed very faithfully. In Barks's design, there's more movement and vitality. An obvious difference is that in Strobl's version, the tree has come loose off the ground.
