When A Dime's A Dime is a comic story drawn by Tony Strobl. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, the Beagle Boys, and, in their debuts, Beppo and MacAdam. Powderhorn McBeagle and Scrooge's grandfather are mentioned.
Plot[]
When the Beagle Boys come to Scrooge McDuck with records of an unsettled bet between his grandfather and an ancestor of theirs, he is faced with a choice: either forfeit his fortune to the Beagles, or spend a night in the most haunted castle in all of Scotland!
References[]
- Castle MacAdam, said to be haunted by the ghost of MacAdam himself, is located in the MacAxe Swamps.
Continuity[]
- The Beagle Boys are shown to have Scottish roots in the form of the great-grandfather Powderhorn McBeagle. Several years later, The First Money Bin (1983) would show that Blackheart Beagle grew up in the same city as Scrooge McDuck, perhaps-fortuitously fitting in with this notion.
Behind the scenes[]
When A Dime's A Dime was first printed in 1965 in the Brazilian O Paton Donald #710. It was soon printed in the Australian Giant #347 in English. It has never been reprinted in this language, and, indeed, the present Wiki page was written without access to this sole, rare English-language edition; the input of anyone with access to it (for character names and such, the ones in this page being guesswork based on the Brazilian and French translations) would be much appreciated.
