Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #12 (228)
In "The Watchful Parent," Donald Duck is urged by the Duckburg Watchful Parents Club to keep a close eye on his nephews during a trip to Ecuador—only to find himself the one needing rescue when he slips on a cliffside. With the boys tumbling down after him, the trio ends up stranded in the jungle, relying on a rubber raft to navigate the river in search of safety. As the adventure unfolds, the question lingers: who’s really watching whom? Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, with cover art by Barks, this 1959 Dell classic captures the chaos and heart of the Ducks’ misadventures in a story that’s as clever as it is suspenseful.

Members of the Duckburg Watchful Parents Club urge Donald to "keep an eye on [his nephews'] safety" while in South America on business for Uncle Scrooge. In Ecuador, the boys fall over a cliff after trying to rescue Donald, who had already climbed partly down the cliff and losing his footing. This results with them all falling down into the river below. Later they find a rubber raft and then spend their time trying to get back to civilization and safety. But, through all this, "who has kept an eye on who"?
