Just in time for Christmas, Emmy-winning writer (and co-host of The Flop House) Dan McCoy joins us to unwrap a trio of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories by the late, great Carl Barks!
In "Only a Poor Old Man," Uncle Scrooge's first full-length adventure, everyone's favorite spats-wearing billionaire fights to protect his fortune from the Beagle Boys in a rollicking heist tale!
In "Luck of the North," Donald drags his nephews to rescue his insufferable cousin Gladstone Gander in a madcap, Tintin-esque adventure.
And in "A Christmas for Shacktown," Donald, Daisy and the boys try to raise money to give the denizens of Duckburg's poverty-stricken neighborhood a memorable Christmas celebration.
Can Donald and company prevail against industrious thieves, a polar bear and a bottomless pit? And can these tales safely find their way to that Island of Misfit Toys known as ... The Comics Canon?
In This Episode:
· There's a lot to admire about the Beagle Boys
· Isaac Asimov's iCarly
· Kevin shares an embarrassing story
· Pogo by Walt Kelly
· I Must Be Dreaming by Roz Chast
· Eat the Rich by Sarah Gailey and Pius Bak
