Donald Duck #229
In "Donald Duck and 'The Pixilated Parrot'," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully quirky tale where Donald gifts Uncle Scrooge a peculiar parrot that counts instead of speaking—only to have Scrooge rely on it to remember his safe combination. When the bird accidentally reveals the code to two crooked burglars and then takes flight toward Latin America, chaos—and a wild chase—ensues. With art and story by Carl Barks, and a cover by Barks, this 1981 Western Publishing classic is a must for fans of classic Disney humor.
