Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color #4

"The Menehune Mystery" takes Uncle Scrooge and the Duck family to McDucks' private island, "a few miles from Hawaii," where the miser tries to hide his greenbacks. Carl Barks' wife Gare helped the Old Duck Man with many of the authentic details he needed for this story: she was born and raised on Oahu. The tiny, magical menehunes, for instance, were her inspiration. (An historic letter is repro-duced from Carl Barks written to Hal Adelquist, Walt Disney Studio head and dated November 9, 1942 in which Barks resigns from his job to pursue a career raising chickens and doing free-lance cartooning. He also speaks of Walt Disney himself as "the best boss I ever had." Sold Out
