Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Buffo or Bust," Scrooge McDuck sets off to South Africa to challenge Flintheart Glomgold, the self-proclaimed richest duck in the world, in a showdown of wealth that hinges on an unexpectedly quirky measure: the length of a ball of string. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this classic tale blends humor and adventure as the two rivals roll their string across the African savanna in a race to prove who truly holds the title. The cover, also by Carl Barks, captures the lighthearted stakes of the competition in bold, expressive lines.
In "The Second-Richest Duck," Scrooge McDuck journeys to South Africa to settle a long-standing rivalry with Flintheart Glomgold, the self-proclaimed richest duck alive. With their fortunes matched, the contest comes down to a surprising twist: the true measure of wealth lies in who has saved the longest ball of string, leading to a wild, string-rolling showdown across the African savanna.
When a chorus of feline yowls disrupts his peace, Gyro sets his language translator to decode the commotion—only to discover the cats are 1950s-style "hep cats" crooning for a lady cat’s affection. With a mix of surprise and inspiration, he’s tempted to join in, turning his workshop into a purr-fect stage for a feline showdown.
In "Pound for Sound," Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck both go to great lengths to sneak into a performance by the Duckburg Symphony Orchestra, each devising their own clever — and hilariously misguided — plan. While Scrooge’s attempt is far less successful than he’d hoped, Donald’s scheme proves unexpectedly effective.
