We are breaking our format rules this time, as we present TWO oddball stories in ONE super episode! These two stories are technically not 10-pagers; Firebug clocks in at whopping 13, and Atom Bomb was presented in a miniature format of 30 pages (3 panels per page). Since both stories are somewhat dark and include endings that wound up being censored, it seemed logical to pair them in this episode that also includes conversation about the clinical definition of pyromania, the utopian promise of the then-dawning Age of Atom, and much more!

Come join us, as Donald and the nephews enjoy a soothing trip down the Ohio River, in their new-ish houseboat! Wait, how are we on the Mississippi? And what's that serpentine shape looming overhead? That's right, it's the Terror of the River!! Join me and my guest hosts as we discuss Carl Barks exploration of American river life, submarine paranoia, and an extremely unique fear-loving villain!

Join us for an gnew episode you’ll gnever forget, as we journey to the Everglades and visit Gneezle Gnob! Episode 5 takes a deep dive into one of Carl Barks’ most oddball adventures, the bonkers story Mystery of the Swamp. Listen as we learn about the Everglades and debate whether this one is just too weird.

Episode 4 is the first of Barks' Arctic-set comics, the exciting tale, Frozen Gold! This is an exciting story, and we get the chance to discuss, among other things: the development of penicillin and parallels to the story of Balto the famous sled dog, the return of Black Pete, the ducks' plane hijinks, and Donald's Mr. Magoo moment.

Welcome to our third full podcast, a discussion of Carl Barks' "Too Many Pets"! Listen as we discuss what type of Donald we get in this story, talk about the shadows of WWII lurking in the background, learn about the history of organ grinders, and...isn't Jingo the Monkey the cutest? This may be one of Carl Barks' more minor works (fight us), but we still enjoyed it and had a great time talking Ducks.

For our second episode we'll be talking about Barks' second full length comic, and the very first that was fully written and drawn by him. The Mummy's Ring is a spooky tale of intrigue that sets the template for many of Barks' legendary adventure stories to come.

This is the introductory episode to the podcast Barks Remarks! It is a chronological exploration of all of the adventure stories created by the legendary Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic book artist & writer, Carl Barks. Starting with the 1st true episode, I will be talking with guests and friends about  Carl Barks' long form/adventure stories. We'll discuss each story's background and provide commentary during a synopsis of the story. We'll cover trivia, reviews, and discuss how well each story holds up. If you're a fan of Carl Barks, this podcast is a great excuse to revisit your Duck comics!
