A Guidebook to the Carl Barks Universe

Additional credits: According to a January, 1979 letter to Michael Barrier, Barks believes that this is an alternate version of »different interests [pencil drawing]«. That sketch would have been accepted, while this alternate version was then returned to him.

Members of the Duck family are sitting together, all reading about an interest of their own. Daisy is reading a magazine with the heading "beauty" on its backside. Donald is reading a sports paper. Grandma is reading a book about cooking. The nephews are reading comics. Scrooge is reading a hundred-dollar bill. The nephews are the only ones who are sitting on the floor, instead of a chair. Daisy is the only one who has her feet placed on a pouffe.

A slanted jug is being filled with a ground-up lemon, water, and sugar. These ingedrients are added by a floating pincher, a water-tap, and a floating sugar-basin. The slanted jug itself fills at least six glasses at once. The glasses are placed like stairsteps. When one glass overflows, it fills up another glass which is placed slightly lower. The background of the picture shows a giant lemon.

Additional credits: Pencil sketch on tissue paper. This illustrations consists of two halves. The half on the left (showing a jug) appears to be crossed out with two crossed diagonal lines, but these might be guidelines for the design of the drawing. The half on the right (showing Scrooge) contains a logo on top.

Scrooge enthusiastically squeezes a lemon with a gaint pair of pinchers, aiming the pressed juice into an overflowing giant jug. The overflowing juice fills at least nine or ten glasses. These glasses are placed like stairsteps, under the jug. When one glass overflows, it fills up another glass which is placed slightly lower.

Changes: Many of the Whitman storybooks were designed to open on a two-page illustration extending from the front pastedown endpaper onto the title page. The left half of the drawing was then reproduced in mirror on the rear pastdown endpaper, facing the last page of the story. Barks intended this sketch for the opening spread of The Lemonade King, but the editors cut the drawing of Scrooge and designed a new title page. Apparently, the full design does still appear on the rear pastedown endpapers.
(The editors's title page contains a watercolor of Scrooge sitting on a deck chair, drinking lemonade from four glasses at once, using four straws. One straw for each glass.) Publications:
