“The Great Steamboat Race” seems unlikely as a story topic unless you reflect that it was written and drawn by Carl Barks. The setting is Mark Twain’s Old South (well … maybe not exactly like Twain). Barks’ humor was much of the inspiration for Rosa later on (see page 11, panel 6: don’t you think Don would have loved to have been the one to have come up with that gag?). This all-Barks issue also has a fine one-page gag and another story, the 7-page “Much Luck McDuck.” (These three were from Uncle Scrooge comics #11, September 1955; #25, March 1959; and #38, June 1962, respectively.)
