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

Ah, the Magic Hourglass. An infamous story that shows Scrooge at his worst and completely messes up with the (admittedly yet-to-be-established) timeline... but it's still a pretty great adventure in its own right.

The best story in these collections so far. A tense and exciting adventure story with still its share of humorous moments.

One of the rare times somebody actually died in these stories. Had it coming, too.

Gladstone's a real dick in this one. I don't recall many cases of his luck turning out to be so maliciously destructive to other people.

The title story shot into a completely unexpected direction, and resolved the crook plot - what I thought it'd be all about - almost off-handedly.

But then, I guess you could never have spent too much time on that to begin with.

Finally encountered the reason for the lengthy lecture about racism (without saying it's racism) at the start of the volume. And yes, that one panel with the circus worker DID look extremely racist -- but the problem is that later on they have a normal black guy as the leader of the circus parade. And the central antagonist(?) is a quick-change artist...and the racist-looking character has his speech pattern...
