All of his adult life Carl Barks was a registered Republican, i.e. a conservative traditionalist, and he claimed to dislike Democrats. Most of the time he looked disapprovingly at the way his country was governed, thus it was understandable that some of his political opinions slipped into his comic book work. But, in general, Barks was careful not to let his stronger views shine through in his stories as he felt that politics was an uninteresting subject for kids. Still, he commented on a variety of political aspects in some of his work. This page offers examples of stories carrying very diverse political commentaries.
