I have an other silly explanation. Barks once did a Gyro Gearloose story
("Super-Duckburg" or so) where Gyro transformed Duckburg into a new futuristic
city, with all the "23th century architecture" and stuff. The inhabitants
did not like this after a while, so they forced Gyro to put everything
back to normal.
The "Island in the Sky" story (Barks' story where Duckburg is 23th century)
could have taken place _during_ this Gyro story...
I know this makes no sense, but it was just a thought...
It must be hard for Don to write his stories, while keeping _every_ Barks
fan happy...
