Description

In the lead story Uncle Scrooge engages in a battle to the last cent with the Beagle Boys and first reveals why he really needs all that money -- so he can “dive into it like a porpoise, burrow through it like a gopher and throw it up and let it hit him on the head.” For a preview go to Fantagraphics.
