A great number of Carl Barks' comic book stories take place on special days during the year. Some of them relate to holidays such as Easter and Christmas, while others are special events that take place in the duck universe. This page presents you with examples from the latter group*. Barks rarely indicated when these special events took place but his text and drawings have been closely scrutinized in order to place the individual events in the following seasonal groupings.

* Examples from the first group can be read at the following pages: The Holiday Stories and The Christmas Stories.
