In "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.
