Description: Art only front cover for "Uncle Scrooge", listed as "piggy bank dog", submitted on May 24, 1956. According to "Michael Barrier", Barks remembers this cover as one in which Scrooge was pulling a piggy bank along the street on a leash, as if it were a dog.

Submission date falls in between the submission dates of the covers that appeared on Uncle Scrooge 15 and Uncle Scrooge 17, so a guess could be that this cover would have appeared on or around Uncle Scrooge 16. (Submission date of the cover that did appear on Uncle Scrooge 16 is unknown.)

Status: As far as known, the cover has never surfaced.

CBL-notes: The Brutopians' high cheekbones are removed. On panel 6 of page 3, the phrase "rich pig of a duck" is changed to "rich dog of a duck." Surprisingly, the story was later reprinted uncensored in "The Carl Barks Library in Color" album No. 17.

Research: The reference to kitchen sinks refers to the American idiom "everything including the kitchen sink", which means "everything", in an emphatic way. In this story, Barks had the Brutopian literally bid everything his country had, including the kitchen sink.

Inducks description: Run away from city polution to pygmy indians' land; Scrooge makes trouble in the deep woods!

Backstage: Barks portrayed many of his lost tribes as pygmies. "That makes a slight menace out of the ducks...," he explained in a 24 September 1983 interview by Bruce Hamilton. "They were always peewees in comparison with the villains. In order for them to become a menace, they had to come up against somebody smaller."

Research: The Peeweegah dialogue in this story was written in the heavy rhythm of "The Song of Hiawatha". When Longfellow wrote that work, he had in mind the Finnish epic "The Kalevala", which was also written in that very catchy two-step rhythm.

Congruences:

W OS 62-03 in Mystery of the Swamp

The vandalized campsite and migrating canoe, the posted warning and shower of arrows, the powwow around the bonfire, the kidnapped pygmy, the flight through the waterways, Donald's ordeal by combat, and the drugged offering - in this case an Indian peace pipe dropped with oxide of Strombolium.

"That gave me pause for a while," Barks has said, "but I realized that only the plotline was similar; all other elements were breaking new ground. Besides, the pygmy Indians were more believable and interesting than the Gneezles, so I went ahead with the story and let the gags fall where they might."

Inducks description: US throws coin across river and cross it to catch the coin back; throws Dollar across Potomac

CBL-notes: Scrooge's coat is shaded with dots.

Research: Just for the benefit of people who may have seen pictures of the Potomac River, or the river itself, and who are wondering how George Washington could have thrown a dollar across such a wide body of water: he didn't. The story is a popular misconception. When he was a youth, Washington lived on the banks of the Rhappahanock River, and he threw a dollar across it, to demonstrate his strength. That river (at least where Washington lived) is much narrower than the Potomac (where Washington eventually ended up, building his estate "Mount Vernon" on its banks).

Additional credits: Accepted by Western on the same day as the inside front cover for "Uncle Scrooge" No. 19, 1957. According to Barks's vouchers, it was intended for the inside back cover of that issue, but it was bumped at the last minute for a subscription advertisement - the first to appear in "Uncle Scrooge".

Description: Art and idea one page gag, listed as "bridle", submitted on February 28, 1957. Donald gets frustrated by his vulnerability to bargain. Scrooge buys him a set of blinders, as part of an "Old Dobbin Bridle".
