Nothing can save you from this podcast! It is invincible! It is doom itself!

Actually, this episode of the Ten-Page Podcast is all about a carefully curated selection of FIVE of the Duck Man's earliest ten-pagers. We talk about his first ten-pager, "the Victory Garden," a sort of trial-by-assignment that Barks drew but didn't write, followed by his first solo outing, "the Rabbit's Foot." Next we cover the goofy "Salesman Donald," forerunner to so many Donald-gets-a-job stories. After that comes the story that gets the episode's top billing, "the Duck in the Iron Pants," the highlight of his early ten-pagers, and finally, "the Mad Chemist," one of Barks' first out-of-this-world stories. Join us as we talk about Carl Barks' origins and the early evolution of his stories!
