 WDCS095 I am very poor at lettering and hate every inch of it. My biggest problem with the cover for number 95 was lettering the newspaper lying in the sand. But I did all of my lettering until 1952, when my wife Garé took over. |
 WDCS096 I drew the cover twice because I didn't get the proportions right the first time. I had the tub too high in the picture and needed more room to show the nephew and what he was doing. |
 WDCS140 Scrooge was added as an afterthought because of the incredibly escalating popularity of the character at the time. |
 U$19 The story in this issue was The Mines of King Solomon, for which Barks sketched a series of story-related covers: This seems to have been a wasted effort. I hadn't been told that the editors had a gag cover planned for this comic (At least, the published cover was also by Barks - Editor's remark). |
