Thank you! Apparently it is well documented that he has pockets.
This fact is important to my story.
About the 1-page gag in US23: I love these 1-pagers. Since most of them
deal with Scrooge's daily life and not his high adventures, they provide
fascinating glimpses into the psychology of our favorite old miser.
There is, for example, a mini-series of four gags about how he tries to
get a free cup of coffee in a diner.
Gladstone collected all these 1-pagers in two wonderful albums as part
of the CB Library in Color. If they are still available, I recommend
them to all Scrooge fans. The print and color quality is, of course,
excellent.
