Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #17
In "Early to Build," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully clever tale where Gyro Gearloose takes a rare day off to fish—only to outsmart every other angler in town with a simple, ingenious trick. With Barks' signature blend of humor and mechanical whimsy, the story captures the quiet charm of a day well spent, all drawn and inked by the master himself. The cover, also by Barks, perfectly captures the scene’s lighthearted spirit.
