Yes, this is a very "fun" story! Best part, I think, is the great
mathematical problem that DD has to solve. It goes like "you buy
something with 9000 gold and sell it with 10000 gold, how much do you
profit". I remember as a child (when I couldn't count too well) the
complex method that DD solved it with felt really impressive. Now I just
laugh out loud because of it.
It's not too bad a story with Hazel and everything and the end is just
great with DD falling to BB trap. It feels just right for DD because he's
been so stupid. Can't like the art though: Capitanio should have stayed
with the mouse.

And while we're talking about paintings with ducks:
Is everybody familiar with the work of Kaj Stenvall, a Finnish painter
whose paintings are really duck-inspired. Visit the link below if
