In "A Clean Case of Competence," Donald Duck proves he's the most meticulous cleaner in Duckburg—until he takes on the monumental task of restoring Big Beth, the city’s four-faced clock tower. With time itself hanging in the balance, Donald’s cleaning skills are put to the ultimate test, and Big Beth may have a few surprises of its own. Written by Daan Jippes, Freddy Milton, and Geoffrey Blum, with art by Jippes and Milton and inks by both, this 1987 classic features vibrant colors by Kurt Mausert and crisp lettering by John Clark, all wrapped in a striking cover by Daan Jippes.
