In "How Green Was My Lettuce," Jo stumbles upon a mysterious green lettuce that seems to have a mind of its own, leading to a series of increasingly absurd mishaps at the local diner. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic artwork and Al Milgrom’s crisp inks bringing the surreal chaos to life, this whimsical tale from Uncle Scrooge #173 (1980) delivers a quirky, offbeat adventure. The cover, a classic by Carl Barks, captures the story’s playful spirit with a perfectly drawn, oversized lettuce in a diner setting.

In "How Green Was My Lettuce," Uncle Scrooge McDuck finds his Money Bin under siege when gophers—working for the Beagle Boys—dig beneath its foundation. To throw off the thieves, Scrooge has his gold coins replaced with paper money, then disguises himself and Donald Duck as lettuce farmers, driving out of town in a truck packed with greenery that hides a fortune in bills.
