I was searching through the inducks database the other day trying to find an April fool story to talk about. There are some good ones I had almost forgotten about, so the result was me reading a bunch of stories instead.
Carl Barks did a few

And there's a fun wolf story in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #152 that is ready for a re-print.

There's a lot of Egmont stories and Dutch stories too, not available in English, and one that is only printed in English in the UK.
But I didn't really find any I had much to say about. So I'll try something else instead.
Under a two-page April fool story with Mickey and his nephews, and I thought I could do a little quiz out if it.

The first one to tell where this story was printed is officially a real Disney comic nerd 😊

Update May 27, 2018:
Alright, now it's been almost two months so I guess I have to reveal the answer. The two-page April fools story can be found in the Spring 1989 issue of Mickey Mouse Magazine.

This magazine was not a comic book series, but some of the issues had a page or two with comics. I don't have a whole lot of issues from this series, but I think I remember seeing some Disney Babies comic pages in it too.
If anyone get it right, you can request something I should write about on the blog too, if you want – and I'll try my best to do it!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I've been trying to figure this out all day and I just can't find it. Got any hints? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone actually tried to find out! :) I was thinking about adding some hints. And yes, it really is a published story and not an April fool attempt – my Photoshop skills are not that good...
ReplyDeleteThe story was published in the USA in the late 80's. And it's not listed in the inducks database.
I would just like to note, in case you were wondering, that I have not yet given up searching for where this story was published. I still haven't found it, but I'll keep looking!
ReplyDeleteWell, you've stumped me! I can't seem to find where this comic was published. A very good riddle, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's what it was! Well, congratulations on that riddle.
ReplyDeleteMost of the content in this magazine is not very interesting, so I don't think it's that popular to collect – or well known among Disney comic fans. I just have a few issues I randomly got out of curiosity a while ago.
