I used to read those Donald Duck comics all the time as a kid. I remember one adventure where they go to some place in the Andes IIRC where there were no round things just cubes. Cubic animals and people. Spheres were frowned upon. one of he kids blew a bubble and they got busted. He managed to teach cubic chicken to blow bubbles and it blew a cube bubble.

Read an article on this a few years back about the story being a critique of capitalism. Not sure how reputable the site is tho.

With a name like Carl Barks, I’d be disappointed if he didn’t make at least one comic with a dog that exposes the evils of capitalism

Someday I’ll own these…There’s one where Donald wants to be a snake charmer, and the nephews think it’s stupid. It was one of the funniest, most well paced, pieces of Lit I’d ever read.
