“Vacation Time”

In "Vacation Time," Carl Barks delivers a classic tale of outdoor misadventure as Donald Duck takes his nephews on a camping trip that quickly spirals into chaos. When a reckless camper ignites a forest fire and flees in Donald’s car, the ducks must rely on quick thinking and teamwork to survive—digging trenches to escape the blaze. The story’s clever twist hinges on a moment of truth revealed under pressure, all drawn with Barks’ signature precision and wit. The cover by Daan Jippes captures the scene’s tension with a vibrant, dynamic image.
