Donald Duck & Co #24/2001

When the usual parade of honor medals starts feeling dull and disheartening to the Hakkespettene, Tropp A is sent on a mission to uncover who’s behind the uninspired designs. With no clues but a growing sense of dread and a trail of uninspired craftsmanship, the team must dig into the heart of a tradition gone stale—before the next medal arrives.

In "Parkeringsbetjenten," Donald Duck takes on a new job as a parking attendant at Jaalekollen Hotel, but his day takes a wild turn when he sneaks a ride in a flashy glis for a quick test drive—only to be unexpectedly thrust into a high-speed chase after a bank robbery. Written with sharp timing and classic chaos, the story unfolds in just six pages, capturing Donald’s misadventures with a perfectly paced blend of slapstick and suspense.

In "Nådeløse" Nilsen, B-Gjengen pull off a daring bank heist right under the nose of a frostbitten professional, all while trying to help a sweet young kitten who’s been left stranded after a scam. Written with sharp timing and set in the chilly, chaotic world of anthropomorphic animals, the story blends mischief and unexpected kindness in a tale that’s as clever as it is cold.

In "Alt for kunsten," Jo helps Thalia, one of Olympus's immortal mice, escape a mediocre artist who's stealing her inspiration to fuel his own fame. With clever tricks and a dash of divine mischief, the duo outwits the painter in a race to preserve what truly matters—art for art's sake.
