I seem to remember reading an older Gold Key issue that featured a Barks 
story where Scrooge searched for a jade elephant that featured many 
lighthearted parodies of various races of people, and strange almost-violent 
acts, which I found somewhat startling (for a Duck comic) when I read it a 
few years ago. I'm not sure why...

I don't recall hearing much about the story since, or seeing it reprinted. 
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and has it been censored? I can 
definitely see something like that upsetting the "Disney is CLEAN FAMILY FUN, 
I say!" attitude the current Disney seems to attempt to be pushing into our 
laps.

Just wondering...
