Four Color #282
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Peanut Eaters," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully mischievous tale where Donald Duck gifts Uncle Scrooge a parrot with a peculiar talent: counting instead of talking. When Scrooge relies on the bird to remember his safe combination—something he’s been forgetting—the parrot’s numerical precision leads to unexpected trouble, as it accidentally shares the code with two burglars before flying off to a boat bound for Latin America. With crisp art and signature Barks charm, this 1950 Four Color issue features full storytelling by Carl Barks, from pencils to inks to lettering, and a cover by Barks that captures the story’s playful spirit.
In "Peanut Eaters," Donald Duck tries to quiet a night peanut vendor by buying some peanuts for Huey, Dewey, and Louie—but soon finds himself wide awake as the trio can't stop cracking shells, one after another.
In "The Pixilated Parrot," Donald gifts Uncle Scrooge a peculiar parrot that doesn’t speak—only counts. When Scrooge relies on the bird to remember his safe’s combination, the parrot’s unusual talent leads to unexpected trouble, as it accidentally shares the code with two burglars before flying off to a boat bound for Latin America.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie set out to find a fair-worthy animal at a farm, where they're handed a piglet named Hamlet—only for the little swine to bolt and send the trio (and an exasperated Donald) on a wild, cross-country chase.
