Uncle Scrooge short stories

[shirubie]

In today's post, a few one or two-pages Uncle Scrooge stories, taken from Fantagraphics Books' reprint collections. I've started collecting these hardcover volumes recently and I highly recommend them.

Ah, I remember the last one in a book of Chinese Disney reprints. My grandparents used to mail them over to me all the time. Those comics shaped my idea of Disney more than the movies ever did.

It's good to see it in English. The only other one of those Chinese stories I've ever found the English counterpart to is Rosa's "The Dream of a Lifetime" - which I read *before* reading any of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", let alone any Barks stories. It's a testament to Rosa's skill as a storyteller that I still found it hung together pretty well (the only thing that felt *really* confusing the first time was Bombie).

Nitpick, but don't barber students cut your hair for free? you know, since they are still learning and they NEED you to volunteer? again, jus tnitpick, but it bothers the hell out of me...

Not everywhere, no.

Never been offered a free haircut, a reduced price one sure, but not free.

Nope. I don't know if the students get paid or not, but I think the money goes to the barber college itself.

"100 Meter Tax Dodge"

Pfhaha, nice.

I also like how the Billions and Trillions signs imply that he has multiple giant money rooms.

He's Scrooge McDuck. Those are probably just the petty cash vaults!

Scrooge McDuck, the one percent of the one percent.

Love Scrooge, but at the same time... SMH.
