Status Updates From Walt Disney's Donald Duck: ...

Best volume so far, overall.

Feel like this is the longest Barks story we've had to date.

The Goldilocks story could always make me laugh out loud as a kid - one of my all-time favourites. And it still works!

Back in the early years, Scrooge really didn't have much consistent characterization apart from being filthy rich. In every story he shows up, he's different. In this one he's happy to buy a huge expensive machine for his grand-nephews and everything.

No business savvy at all!

Ah yes, the Super Snooper. Don Rosa hated superhero comics, and by the looks of things, I can't imagine Barks's opinion was much better.

Back in the day when Scrooge would be willing to pay you a living wage. I read this Italian comic where he made an offer, Donald laughed it off as a terrible hourly pay, and he said it was monthly pay. We've come far with the character.

In contrast to the previous volume, this one has the various length stories mixed together. I'm not sure how I feel about this - I kinda liked having all the long ones together instead of interspersed with the 10 pagers and single pages.

I might have been allergy/sinus sick over the weekend, but I still managed to go to the library and get the other Donald Duck collections! #priorities
