Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #18
In "Net Worth," Scrooge McDuck retreats to a remote stretch of Canadian wilderness to escape the noise of Duckburg, only to discover his new land is already home to the tiny, poetic Peeweegahs—whose language echoes the cadence of Longfellow’s "Song of Hiawatha." When the ducks are captured, Donald must prove their peaceful intentions by catching a massive sturgeon, all drawn in the unmistakable, richly detailed style of Carl Barks, who wrote, drew, inked, and helped letter this 1957 classic. The cover by Carl Barks captures the moment with his signature whimsy and precision.

The ducks are captured by the Peeweegahs, and to prove that they mean no harm, Donald must land an enormous sturgeon.
