Fun? What's That? is a comic story written and drawn by Carl Barks. It features Gyro Gearloose, the Little Helper and Scrooge McDuck, and, in their debuts, Doctor Quacker and Yogi Wisenik.
Plot[]
Sick from overworking themselves, Scrooge McDuck and Gyro Gearloose are persuaded by a physician to cease all work-related activity and go take a holiday. Neither, however, finds any of the possible types of vacations too suited to their characters…
