Not another Chicken Joke!

[Tryg Helseth]

RON, DON, and DAVID:

All this talk about my personal role model, Gyro, sent me digging back in 
the archives to defend the hair raising questions about the Gearloose mop-
top.  

On David's suggestion, I looked up the untitled story from Uncle Scrooge 
#23 about Gyro's new swimming pool.  Yes!  Gyro has his hair with no hat or 
strap.  It's either real hair or held on by a powerful adhesive.  (Super 
Glue hadn't been invented yet, but surely Gyro could have whipped something 
up...)

Another interesting find is Gyro's appearance in WDC&S #141, the 
Think Box story.  In this episode, the straps go all the way to Gyro's 
hat; he must have had his hair slicked down so they couldn't go through 
the hair as they do in other stories...  :)

I was trying to locate yet another story where Gyro appears without a hat; 
there was one I remember where Gyro was quite a bit heavier and I don't 
think he had a hat.  As I recall, it was a brief appearance in a US or DD 
story--probably in DD.   Anyone remember this pre-Jenny Craig Gyro? 

Now, is he a Chicken or not?  I'll vote for an albino magpie!
