☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2004 Gemstone collection reprints classic Disney comic stories featuring Gus Goose and Gyro Gearloose, originally published in the Vacation Parade series. The volume gathers lighthearted, seasonal tales centered around these beloved characters from the Disney comics universe.
In "Vacation Time," Carl Barks delivers a classic tale of outdoor mishaps and mistaken blame as Donald Duck takes his nephews camping, only to run afoul of a reckless camper whose carelessness sparks a forest fire. With the ducks narrowly escaping the blaze by digging trenches, the story takes a twist when the culprit shifts the blame onto them—setting up a tense confrontation with the forest rangers. The issue features Barks’ signature storytelling and artwork, with Susan Daigle-Leach handling colors and Carl Buettner and Gary Leach collaborating on the cover.
When Donald Duck takes Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a camping trip, what starts as a simple outdoor adventure quickly turns chaotic after a reckless camper sets the woods ablaze—then flees in Donald’s car. Trapped by the spreading fire, the nephews and Donald dig trenches to survive, only to face a new threat when the camper blames them on arrival.
In "On the Dream Planet," Gyro and Gus stumble upon a strange world where the inhabitants live in blissful idleness—until Gyro, ever the inventor, convinces them that a little effort could make their lazy lives even more comfortable. The result? A paradise of relaxation begins to unravel under the weight of good intentions.
When Donald Duck’s attempts to teach Huey, Dewey, and Louie proper woodcraft skills backfire, he resorts to a clever ruse—convincing the boys a bearskin rug is actually a live bear. The prank spins out of control as the nephews’ imaginations run wild, turning a simple lesson into a wildcap adventure.
