Descriptions of Carl Barks stories

Hi folks,

Just spent the whole day indexing old Danish 1951 issues, and it struck
me how very few descriptions actually exists for Carl Barks stories in
Inducks--thus lacking in the COA search pages as well.

Let's say I wish to find that one page CB story where Uncle Scrooge
throws a coin across a river, just to find it in my collection (the
story that is, not the coin ;-). What to do then? In fact this might be
a bad example, since I haven't really tried to do a search on that, but
in many (other) cases it would be hopeless.

I was wondering if perhaps someone out there (here) already did write
minor descriptions of the Carl Barks stories (5-20 words sentences),
which might be implemented in Inducks.

Anyone?

Søren

PS. Originally the descriptions were mostly needed for "internal"
identification of stories, and the CB stories were known to everybody
back then, so descriptions were never put "on paper". However, nowadays
with the COA search and all, we're facing a much broader audience
including younger people, who may not necessarily know what is Carl
Barks and what is not...
