Donald Duck & Co #23/2001

In "Fødselsdagsgaven," Donald Duck stumbles upon a shattered piggy bank in Andeby, sparking a well-intentioned but misguided mission when he finds a box of cigars. Believing the local boys are squandering their savings on bad habits, he takes it upon himself to teach them a lesson—leading to a moment of unexpected consequence. Written by Daan Jippes and Henning Hagerup, with art by Freddy Milton and inks by Ben Verhagen, the story captures a rare, quiet moment of parental concern from Donald, all rendered with the distinctive charm of the Egmont series. Cover by César Ferioli.
