Mobil Disney Comics #21

In "A Whale of a Tale," Carl Barks delivers a classic slice of seaside mischief as Donald Duck, inspired by a whimsical day at the beach, hatches a scheme to capture a whale and turn it into a paying attraction. With help from the nephews, he lures the massive creature into a cove, only to face the exhausting reality of feeding it nonstop—until the sheriff arrives with a legal wake-up call. The story, written and illustrated by Carl Barks, captures the charm and chaos of a small-town adventure, with the cover by Barks perfectly framing the scene.
