An aspect of Duck characters we rarely consider is explored in this story:
DONALD (combing himself): "I lost a feather! A whole feather!"
NEPHEW: "You're just MOULTING! It weeds out the old fluff and helps you look young!"
DONALD: "Young is right! If I lose my feathers, I'll look like an EGG... round and bald!"
GREAT BIT:
One of Donald's unsuccessful remedies leaves the upper portion of his head a bright neon green, drawing contrasting reactions form onlookers.
YOUNG BOY: "Look at the ROCK STAR, Mommy! Can I get his autograph?"
OLD GROUCH: "Go back to your guitar and your groupies, you hooligan, and leave decent folk in peace!"
As was the custom at the time, the Gutenberghus creators were not credited in favor of a blanket credit for "The Gutenberghus Group".
