Aku Ankan Parhaat #8
In "Laivatalo," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully chaotic tale as Donald Duck, now a famously overzealous dogcatcher, finds himself in increasingly absurd situations—ticketing a firetruck dog, netting a racetrack star, and even rounding up hounds during a fox hunt—before his antics force him to flee town. With Barks' signature blend of slapstick and sharp wit, the story is a masterclass in comedic escalation, all rendered in his unmistakable, energetic style. The cover by Carl Barks captures the manic energy of the issue perfectly, a 7,95 FIM gem from 1979.

Donald is an overzealous dogcatcher who must eventually leave town after spoiling a trained dog act on TV, ticketing a firetruck dog, netting the lead greyhound at the racetrack and rounding up the hounds in a fox hunt.
