The Carl Barks Library of Gyro Gearloose Comics and Fillers in Color #5
In "That Small Feeling," Carl Barks delivers another delightfully whimsical tale from his legendary library, spotlighting Gyro Gearloose as he’s unexpectedly pressured into creating a tree-altering serum—despite his quiet desire to simply go fishing. With Barks’ signature blend of humor and heart, and Barry Englin’s vibrant colors bringing the absurdity to life, this 1993 classic captures the charm of a beloved inventor caught in a whirlwind of civic expectations. The cover, also by Barks, perfectly encapsulates the story’s lighthearted tension.
