Inducks description: MDS fools US with fake Circe's treasure; a whisper of treasure draws Scrooge to Circe!

Layout: Published without panel borders of any kind.

Western established a rule affecting shape and position of dialogue balloons, panel arrangement, etc. (See US 41-02 for more information.

Surviving material:

Alternate version of page 2. (Unpublished?)

The balloons were not done correctly, so the page was rejected. According to Matti Eronen, there are no big differences with the published version.

CBL-notes: For all panels, originally missing frames are added. In this story, Barks adapted to the square-format layout the editor shortly decided to use.

Backstage: In a January 17, 1962 letter to Malcom Willits, Barks wrote about "A Spicy Tale" (US 39-02), adding some plans for what became "Oddball Oddyssey": "Next story I will try to use the Sorceress Magica de Spell again. She's strictly non-political in any language!"

Inducks description: Submarine trip to get a candy-like ruby in the South Seas; McDuck dives deep to gain high ground!

Animated adaption: The Status Seekers

Backstage: Barks: ". . . There's been come changes in the drawing size and lettering style of all Whitman comics. It's got me and all the other artists mad and confused. Perhaps by the middle of the month I'll have some shining examples of the new format to show you. Right now I'm writing a 20 page Scrooge. Believe me, you're smart if you've decided to seek your fortune in other fields than cartooning . . . ." (27 April 1962 letter to Joseph Cowles) Detailed information

Cross-references: When Scrooge tries to hide the Candy-striped Ruby by putting it in a batch of peppermint candy, 176-761 says: "You remember one time Scrooge almost fooled us by making gold nuggets look like corn!" (17.6) This is a cross-reference to what happened a few years earlier, in «All at Sea».

Inducks description: MDS commands comets and meteorites with a magical wand; Magica's back and she's more ornery than ever!

Research: The title "For Old Dime's Sake" is based on the phrasing "for old times' sake". The meaning of "for old times' sake" is hard to define, but means roughly -- "because of past pleasurable experiences." For example, if you were to ask a favor of someone you had once known well, but had not contacted them for many years, you might ask them to grant the favor in memory of the good times of the past -- "for old times' sake."
