The Carl Barks Library of Gyro Gearloose Comics and Fillers in Color #2

In "[Getting Thor] (Danish title)", Gyro Gearloose builds a mechanical scarecrow to protect his strawberry patch from crows, unaware that his Helper has already driven the birds away—inspired by a very literal interpretation of Thor’s legend. The story unfolds with playful misunderstandings as Gyro’s invention takes on a life of its own, all while the Helper proudly claims credit for a feat that may have been more myth than reality.

[Gyro Goes for a Dip] (Danish title) finds Gyro Gearloose eager to enjoy his new pool—until he realizes he can’t swim. Determined to keep up appearances, he devises a series of increasingly elaborate inventions to convince his neighbor, Helper, that he’s a natural in the water.

In "On the Dream Planet," Gyro Gearloose and Gus Goose stumble upon a strange world where everyone lives in blissful idleness—until Gyro, ever the inventor, can't resist showing them how a little effort can make life even more effortless. The moment he suggests improving things, the entire planet begins to change, and the dreamy peace starts to unravel.
