funny. I just had a look at that story for another reason.
I'm currently working on a page about hearing difficulties and Sign
Language
in comics (Norwegian only). I've found references to this in Tintin,
Gaston Lagaffe, Lucky Luke and of course Donald Duck (Barks and
others).
In WDC 60-02 Donald is able to read HDL's lips even though he only
sees their
silhouette. I must say I'm impressed!
(wonder if Don Rosa's Donald could have done anything like that, btw.)
