Kalle Ankas pocket #40

When Magica de Hex tricks Joakim into parting with his lucky coin by posing as Gittan, chaos erupts at von Pluring’s casino, where the Knattarna gamble with snail shells and accidentally blow up the bank.

In "Farbror Joakim och tidens flykt," Farbror Joakim’s wild dream of being chased by the notorious von Pluring and Björnligan sets off a series of increasingly absurd plans to hide his treasure. With his usual mix of cunning and chaos, he scrambles to outwit his pursuers—though it's unclear if the danger is real or just another twist in his overactive imagination.

When Joakim learns from the pompous von Pluring that rhodium is the most valuable metal in the world—leaving his own gold looking rather dull—his pride takes a hit and a playful rivalry sparks. In this lighthearted 1981 installment from *Kalle Ankas pocket #40*, Joakim’s quest to prove his gold’s worth leads to a series of wacky, animal-driven antics, all set in the whimsical world of anthropomorphic funny animals.

In the wilds of Wild West, the clever Kalle Ankas sets out to catch three cunning bandits who've robbed the townsfolk—handlaren Joakim and bankiren von Pluring. With a boost from Oppfinnar-Jocke’s special ammunition and a trusty velociped, Kalle’s on the trail, ready for a chase full of wit and wacky antics.
