Maybe that Barks' stories do all play in the 1950's.
Don Rosa's chapter 12 of Lo$ is maybe the first story after the nephews
have been sent to their uncle. It plays on Christmas 1947, so Hewey,
Dewey and Louie are about seven years old. This story plays before
W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N., which shows the young HD&L getting
members of the Junior Woodchucks. It plays shortly after Lo$ 12 because
they already know Scrooge but don't seem to be too happy having to live
with Donald now. All the other stories (except the Lo$ chapters) seem to
play after 1947, I think at the beginning of the 1950's, where the three
nephews are about eleven or twelve years old. Because they always have
the same age in Barks' stories it seems as if all his stories play
around this date. They of course would be teenagers or twens in the
stories at the end of the 50's and beginning of the 60's and would still
visit kindergarten in the stories from the 40's.
So all their adventures seem to play in a time span of just two or three
years.
