Oops, I forgot about that one.  Probably because in Sweden the story
has been printed with that splash page as the cover of the book, so
I've been thinking of it as a cover, not as a page of the story.

Still I sort of referred to that very story when I said that their
only are three times Barks's pages can't be divided neatly in two
half-pages, because that is the case once more in Vacation Parade #1.
This story has pretty unusual page layouts even in other respects.
The remaining case I know of is "No Such Varmint" where the sea
monster is too big too fit some other way.
