Barrier: MBAC-101

CBL: 06A-143

Type: story, one tier per page

Art: Carl Barks

Script: Carl Barks

Hero: Donald Duck

Submission: 1946, September 9

Publication date: 1947

Issue: Chreerios Premium Y1  

Pages: 30

Layout: 30 one-tier pages with generally three panels a tier, equivalent to 7 1/2 four-tier pages.

CBL-notes: Redrawn, relettered and censored. Daan Jippes' redrawn four-tier version is pasted into the original one-tier lay-out, which can be clearly be seen in panel 29.3. Panel 7.1, panel 14.3 and panels 25.2 and 25.3 are not redrawn by Jippes. Other redrawn (or at least retouched) panels are used here, which are closer to the original. Lots of backgrounds are different from Jippes' version, but closer to the original.

On page 16, the truncheon of a police-man is changed into handcuffs (which is already the case in Jippes' version).

Both panels on page 30 are censored. Originally, Donald had "got a way picked out to make money - and lots of it!" and went selling an "atomic hair-grower" at 100 dollar a bottle. In this censored version, Donald has "more than money in mind" and gives away free samples of a normal hair-grower. The word "atomic" is removed from the board, but most noticable are the cash register being replaced for a pyramid of bottles and the people in the queue having combs in their hands instead of bank-notes.
