First Line: Donald is a member of the Duckburg Watchful Parents Club!
Synopsis: Members of the Duckburg Watchful Parents Club urge Donald to "keep an eye on [his nephews'] safety" while in South America on business for Uncle Scrooge.

Disclose Notes: Remake of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories (Dell, 1940 series) #58 [Taming the Rapids]. Dialogue: "It is the duty of all parents to keep an eye on their child's safety!"

The title, "The Watchful Parent" was given to this story by Western Publishing for its first American reprint in Walt Disney Comics Digest (Western, 1968 Series) #24 (August 1970), and would qualify as its "official title" originating, as it did, with Western's editorial processes.

The Scooter Looter

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Writer(s): ?
Letterer(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic
Character(s): Scamp; Jay Bird; frogs; Mac the Scooter Man; kid returning rental scooter; golfer; fisherman; park superintendent
First Line: Watch out, Scamp!
Synopsis: Scamp likes to ride swings and such in a park. When he decides to move up to a park rental scooter, he goes off on a wild, uncontrolled ride wreaking havoc across the park. Golfers and fishermen beware... it's a dog... on a scooter!

as [untitled] [Story on Interior Page(s)]
Reprint Notes:  
Miscellaneous
Pages: 6
Disclose Notes: Once Scamp makes off with the scooter, the story becomes a near-beat-for-beat remake (or "pre-make", depending on the variables of production) of the 1959 Yogi Bear TV cartoon "Scooter Looter" - with Scamp, as a most unlikely substitute for Yogi, diverting a golfer's ball away from the pin and into a sand trap, and (courtesy of a snagged line) pulling a fisherman and his boat out of the park pond into an encounter with a tree. This issue has a cover date of September 1959, and the Yogi Bear cartoon had an air date of March 19, 1959, so we may never know which predated which. But, if this is an actual "coincidence in writing", then it is a remarkable one.
