“The Shortest Way”

In "The Shortest Way," Scrooge takes Donald and the nephews to his Australian sheep station, where mysterious wild dogs are sabotaging his fences and traps. When the nephews uncover that the pack's leader is a wild girl, the ducks devise a clever plan—luring her with the catchy tunes of pop sensation Tweedy Teentwirp. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this 1966 adventure blends frontier grit with whimsy, all rendered in the unmistakable style of the legendary creator. The cover, also by Barks, captures the story’s spirited tone with dynamic, hand-drawn energy.

Scrooge takes Donald and the nephews with him to his sheep station in Australia, where his herds are being raided by wild dogs that make hash of his fences and traps. The nephews discover that the dogs' leader is a wild girl. The ducks set a trap for the girl, using the radio songs of Tweedy Teentwirp, a pop singer, as the bait.
