Hotwind J. Flated

David asked about the Jippes story in last
month's WDC&S ("High-Flying Picnic"):

In the Dutch version the book has no author at all: no picture on the
book, and no name is mentioned. The book has only a title on the front cover,
and a picture of a balloon on the back cover.

Jippes did draw a Barks caricature in another story (a Junior Woodchuck
redraw). Maybe Gladstone used that one in this story?
