Joakim (Farbror Joakim) #6/1980

In "Farbror Joakim och det rogivande vattnet del 1," Joakim stöter på en sjö med vatten som verkar ge en märklig känsla av välmående — men det visar sig inte vara så enkelt som det låter. Written by Romano Scarpa and I. Emond, and illustrated by Scarpa with inks by Sandro Zemolin, this 1980 issue from Hemmets Journal sees Joakim attempt to siphon the water into his freight plane, only to face a surprising toll. Cover by Daniel Branca captures the whimsy of the moment, as Oppfinnar-Jocke unravels the truth behind the so-called miracle — though Joakim may still be smiling, for reasons that go beyond the water itself.
