Stories

A Gander at Gladstone · 1 pages
The Do-Gooder's League · 10 pages
This week, the most important thing in Donald's world is belonging to the pompous and self-important The Do-Gooder's League, an organization that talks a great deal about poverty, but does little about it. Donald has pawned nearly everything he owns to pay the exorbitant membership dues but is still ten dollars short and is on the verge of expulsion. He resolves to get that ten dollars by hook or by crook, from his nephews' piggy bank. If not, he may never again wear the Do-Gooder's trademark high hat.
Not Too Much Talking · 4 pages
The Madball Pitcher · 8 pages
Gyro, caught in the middle in a hotly contested baseball game between two Duckburg teams, invents an unhittable ball for one side and an unmissable bat for the other.

The Vanishing Railroad · 7.75 pages
Mickey and Goofy work as engineer and fireman on the locomotive "Penelope", for the Tankburg, Cinder City & Pacific, a small railroad owned by Mr. Boomer. By chance, Mr. Wallow, a wealthy financier and railroad hobbyist, sees "Penelope" and the rest of the antique train and wants them for his private collection. Mr. Boomer turns the offer down, as the line has been in his family since 1880. Gruggers, Wallow's crooked chauffeur, overhears and employs The Clinker Brothers, two has-been outlaws, to steal the train - piece by piece - planning to sell it to Mr. Wallow for a huge profit.
